ZDF Studios has signed a multi-year agreement with Hungarian broadcaster TV2 Group for more than 1,200 hours of drama programming, covering free-TV, pay-TV and VOD rights in Hungary.
The deal gives TV2 access to a broad slate of titles from the German distributor’s catalogue, spanning long-running classics, romantic TV movies and contemporary series. The package includes classic series such as The Black Forest Clinic and Derrick, alongside romantic film collections including Rosamunde Pilcher (pictured), Inga Lindström, Spring Fever, Lena Lorenz and Katie Fforde.
