Naman Ramachandran SF Studios and Warner Bros. Discovery have entered a content partnership for the Nordic region.

The deal grants WBD’s Max streaming service first-run rights to SF Studios’ local and international titles post-theatrical and transactional windows.

The agreement aims to bolster SF Studios’ investment in Nordic productions and expand audience reach through Max in the region.

Upcoming titles include Tarik Saleh’s “Eagles of the Republic” starring Fares Fares, Norwegian crime adaptation “The Nation’s Gambit,” and Mikkel Serup’s “Kingmaker,” a sequel to 2004’s “Kongekabale.” International films like “The Zone of Interest” and “Horizon – An American Saga” are also part of the deal, starting mid-July. “The collaboration is an important step in SF Studios’ strategy to expand its licensing and distribution business in the Nordics and at the same time offer a strong line-up of Nordic and international films to consumers in the Nordic marketplace,” SF Studios said in a statement.
