Fremantle announced on Wednesday that it has acquired global distribution rights, excluding German-speaking territories, for the premium fantasy drama 'Hagen' from Constantin Film. The deal encompasses both a six-part series and a feature film intended for theatrical release. RTL Group retains the German streaming and free TV rights for the production.
'Hagen,' based on Wolfgang Hohlbein's bestselling novel 'Hagen von Tronje,' offers a contemporary reimagining of the medieval 'Nibelungen' folk saga. The narrative, credited as an influence on modern fantasy works like 'Game of Thrones' and 'The Lord of the Rings,' revolves around the characters of Hagen, a loyal soldier, and Siegfried, the renowned dragon slayer.
