The UK Channel 4’s streaming service Walter Presents will start operating in the US in March.

Walter Iuzzolino, head of the curated SVOD service specialised in foreign Language drama is a fan of Nordic dramas and has acquired a dozen series since Walter Presents’ launch in January 2016.

Starting next month, Nordic series acquired such as the Norwegian drama Valkyrien will be included in a package of 34 series from 12 countries, and offered to US audiences, on a variety of platforms and at WalterPresents.com.

The subscription fee will be $6.99 a month and the viewing experience will be ad-free. Each season will be made available in its entirety allowing viewers to binge watch the content. The service will continue to premiere two new series each month and all the series will feature high quality customised sub-titling.

Walter Iuzzolino said: “For years America has led the way with a string of iconic titles to become the undisputed home of great TV drama. But the rest of the world hasn’t stood still. Inspired by the quality of the very best U.S. drama, countries all over the globe are now producing extraordinary TV series, unforgettable stories which are becoming global smash hits. I am excited at the chance to introduce U.S. viewers to this TV treasure trove.”

New Nordic series currently available on Walter Presents in the UK include the Icelandic thriller Case and Norwegian drama Acquitted.

The curated quality SVOD set up as a joint venture between the UK’s Channel 4 and GSN International intends to roll out in other territories the next year.
