This book explores how to understand the international appeal of Danish 
television drama and Nordic Noir in the 2010s. Focusing on production 
and distribution as well as the series and their reception, the chapters 
analyse how this small nation production culture was suddenly regarded 
as an example of best practice in the international television 
industries, and how the distribution and branding of particular series – 
such as /Forbrydelsen/The Killing/, /Borgen/ and /Bron/The Bridge/ – led 
to dedicated audiences around the world. Discussing issues such as 
cultural proximity, transnationalism and glocalisation, the chapters 
investigate the complex interplays between the national and 
international in the television industries and the global lessons 
learned from the way in which screen ideas, production frameworks and 
public service content from Denmark suddenly managed to travel widely. 
The book builds on extensive empirical material and case studies 
conducted as part of the transnational research project ‘What Makes 
Danish Television Drama Travel?’

·The book includes a range of authors from a variety of countries and 
disciplines, offering multiple points of entry for scholars interested 
in television drama, small nation film and television cultures, 
production, distribution and reception in a digital and global media 
landscape.

·It offers unique insights from both scholarly, industry and audiences 
voices and analysis based on rich empirical studies including interviews 
with sellers, buyers, producers, distributors, bloggers and viewers, as 
well as fieldwork at television markets and industry events.

·And it analyses the many different reasons behind the unexpected 
success of Denmark as a small nation production culture and explores the 
global impact of this development in relation to issues such as audience 
engagement, digital distribution, and adaptation in many diverse markets.

The book is part of the Palgrave European Film and Media Studies book series
