K.J. Yossman France TV have inked a production deal with Fremantle to board BBC docuseries “Zelensky” (working title). The documentary series, from Fremantle’s 72 Films, is being made in collaboration with The Open University and includes interviews with both the Ukrainian leader and his wife as well as on-the-ground footage as Ukraine battles to maintain independence in its assault from Russia. “‘Zelensky’ takes an unfiltered and personal look at the astounding transformation of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky from comedian to iconic war hero,” reads the logline. “The docuseries examines Zelensky’s transformation from comedy actor to calculating war commander, artfully combining his performer skills in his addresses and monopolising the media conversation to become one of the most recognised leaders on the planet.” The three-part series is set to air on BBC Two and iPlayer in the U.K.
this fall, while France Télévisions will debut a shorter 70-minute version as part of documentary strand Le Monde En Face later this year on France 5 and france.tv.
David Glover exec produces for 72 Films and Michael Waldman directs. Fremantle is repping global rights to the series. “It is always a pleasure to be working with the talented teams at France Télévisions and our colleagues at 72 Films on another bold and compelling series,” said Al De Azpiazu, senior VP for distribution for French-speaking Europe, Italy, Spain & Portugal at Fremantle.
