Pitch Perfect: “Ellis possesses key elements that strongly appeal across the AsiaPac region and beyond. Produced by Company Pictures, one of the leading production companies in the U.K. for detective series, Ellis has strong returnability potential, with a crime solved per episode. Additionally, the lead female character feels highly distinct among so many male-fronted detective dramas, and Sharon D Clarke’s portrayal of Ellis balances strength, intelligence and vulnerability, adding significant depth to the storytelling. Audiences appreciate intricate crime-solving stories, and Ellis perfectly meets this demand, offering a fresh perspective with DCI Ellis’s unique approach to justice.” —Tony Ziran Tang, VP, Sales, China, Japan, South Korea & Taiwan
