Jens Richter, chief executive officer, commercial and international at Fremantle, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with such an exciting mix of esteemed global broadcasters to continue introducing Nightsleeper to audiences around the world.
“The series delivers pulse-pounding action, unpredictable twists, whilst featuring the exceptional talents of Joe Cole, Alexandra Roach, and an outstanding ensemble cast.

Kate Harwood, executive producer, said: “Nick Leather and I are thrilled to hear that our train has arrived successfully into so many global territories.
“Nightsleeper was a demanding production, but its success has been immensely satisfying and fun to experience.”
