Moritz Polter, executive producer of Sky series “Das Boot” and “Freud” for Netflix/Orf, is joining ITV Studios and establishing a high-end German scripted label.
The label will be launched later in 2021. Moritz will be based in Germany with an international scope and will report into Lisa Perrin, managing director of international production at ITV Studios in London.
He was previously executive producer of international television series at Bavaria Fiction.
Moritz was named as one of the Variety Top 10 Global Creatives to Watch, and has won accolades like the Romy Award for best producer TV-Fiction for “Freud” and the Romy Award jury prize for “Das Boot.”
The name of the new label will be revealed in due course and ITV Studios will distribute its series internationally.
Perrin said: “We have long been aware of the scope for high quality European drama to find international success, but currently the opportunity is at a record high.
