Fremantle premieres «Alice & Jack» at MIPCOM 2024

At MIPCOM, Fremantle premieres Alice & Jack, the highly anticipated original drama series created and written by award-winning writer and film director Victor Levin (Mad Men, Mad About You), and starring Academy Award-nominated actress and producer Andrea Riseborough (To Leslie, Birdman) alongside actor, director and screenwriter Domhnall Gleeson (Brooklyn, The Revenant) will be staged on the first night of the forthcoming 39th International Co-Production & Entertainment Content Market (16-19 Oct) in Cannes.

Alice & Jack is an independent production from Fremantle in partnership with the BAFTA and Emmy award-winning company Me + You Productions (I Am Ruth, Close to You), Academy award-nominated Groundswell Productions (Snowfall, Milk), De Maio Entertainment, and MASTERPIECE in collaboration with Channel 4 which will air the series exclusively in the UK. Fremantle is handling global sales of the series.

The special screening will take place on Monday 16 October at 18.00 in the world-famous Grand Auditorium in Cannes’ Palais des Festivals.  Open to all market delegates, it will be followed by a Q&A session with the team behind the project.

Alice & Jack is a love story for the ages. When Alice (Andrea Riseborough) and Jack (Domhnall Gleeson) first meet they’re bound by a connection so powerful it seems nothing can break it, but will their path lead them to a place of happiness and togetherness? Or will life and their own emotional complexities get in the way? Honest, intimate, and surprisingly funny, the series shows love in all its unexpected, technicolour, kaleidoscopic beauty.

Finnish film director and screenwriter Juho Kuosmanen, who co-wrote and directed the 2021 Cannes Grand Prix co-winner Compartment 6, is the lead director on the series and Hong Khaou (Lilting) directs the second block. Executive producers on the project include Victor Levin, Andrea Riseborough, Domhnall Gleeson, Juho Kuosmanen, Richard Yee and Krishnendu Majumdar for Me + You Productions, Michael London and Shannon Gaulding for Groundswell, Lorenzo De Maio for De Maio Entertainment, Rebecca Dundon and Hilary Martin for Fremantle. Tracy O’Riordan produces for Me + You Productions.

Jens Richter, CEO Commercial & International at Fremantle, said: ‘We’re thrilled to premiere Alice & Jack to the international market in the headline slot at MIPCOM. This is an ambitious, emotive and cinematic series that features mesmerizing performances from leading global actors Andrea Riseborough and Domhnall Gleeson. From a talented creative team including award-winning writer Victor Levin, this seminal series is reflective of the calibre of dramas that we are excited to present at this year’s market’.
