Our most recent international series co-production DRONELAND is a dystopian near-future crime thriller exploring the intersection of surveillance, technology, and power in a fractured Europe. The six-part international series (6×45 minutes) is based on the novel Drohnenland by Tom Hillenbrand. Starring an international cast, the story follows an unlikely duo of a haunted war veteran (Olivier Masucci) and an idealistic Europol agent (Sophie Mousel) as they uncover a tech conspiracy threatening the very fabric of reality.
With a distinct European identity—gritty and grounded— DRONELAND tackles universal issues in an age where AI, surveillance, and the lure of digital utopias are redefining society. The parallels to real-world discourse around technology, populism, and democracy offer a timely narrative, anchored by characters whose emotional struggles resonate globally.
DRONELAND is supported by a coalition of major European broadcasters and public funds, including Film Fund Luxembourg, RTL Luxembourg, ZDF, Magenta TV, RTL Netherlands, German Motion Picture Fund, Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung, Netherlands Film Fonds, Polish Film Institute (30% Cash Rebate), Council of Europe Pilot Programme for Series Co-productions and Creative Europe MEDIA. International distribution by New Regency. Produced by Iris Group (Luxembourg, Germany – Nicolas Steil, Katarzyna Ozga) in co-production with Syrreal Group (Germany – Sigi Kamml, Christian Alvart, Timm Oberwelland, Katrin Weikart), Topkapi Series (Netherlands – Frans van Gestel, Sebastian Korteweg, Laurette Schillings), and Enter Film (Poland – Bartek Glinski, Anna Blawut Mazurkiewicz),
