SBS picks up Spies of Terror, ABC acquires Until I Kill You.

Espionage series Spies of Terror, from Tetra Media has sold to SBS in Australia and TVNZ.

The series is based on investigative journalist and author Matthieu Suc’s 2018 book about the Islamist attacks perpetrated by Isis, Les Espions de la Terreur.

It will follow the work carried out by the French anti-terrorist services, DGSE and DGSI, following 2015 terrorist attack in Paris.

Meanwhile UK drama Until I Kill You, produced by World Productions for ITV, has also sold to ABC and TVNZ.

The series is based on the autobiographical memoir Living With a Serial Killer penned by Delia Balmer, who survived being in a relationship with serial killer John Sweeney, known as the “Scalp Hunter Killer.” It features Anna Maxwell Martin as Delia Balmer.

The synopsis reads, “When Delia meets John Sweeney in a local North London pub, he seems like the kindred spirit she has been searching for. She has no idea he is a killer, but as his artistic, anti-establishment persona gives way to a darker side, he becomes violent and finally confesses to murdering his former girlfriend. Sweeney is arrested but then released on bail after a catastrophic failure by the court to recognize how dangerous he really is, leaving him free to subject Delia to a near-fatal attack, and what follows is gruesome.”

Airdates are yet to be announced.
