Amazon Prime has unveiled a tennis drama from Line of Duty producer World Productions as part of its UK Showcase event, along with two fresh documentaries and casting news, as the streamer reveals £1BN ($1.2BN) spend since 2018.
The news was delivered at a Showcase event this morning with talent and key creative execs for some of Amazon’s biggest shows, which also saw the announcement that Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya will narrate the next edition off football doc All or Nothing, following Arsenal.
The £1BN spend has been made across the last four years on TV drama, entertainment, films and live sport, as Amazon deepens its presence in the nation.
Leading today’s slate is drama Fifteen-Love from Line of Duty producer World Productions.
The show is created by The Innocents writer Hania Elkington and is set in the elite world of tennis, portraying protagonist Justine Pearce as a one-time rising star whose sudden success at 17 took her and her coach Glenn Lapthorn to the quarter-finals of the French Open.
Also unveiled at the event, which looked to much of the streamer’s already-announced upcoming UK content, two true crime documentaries, one titled The Disappearance of Patricia Hall (working title) and the other Three Mothers (working title).
The latter, made by an all-female team, tells of the Wild West early days of the internet, when three women found themselves in an unbelievable series of events that captured the world’s attention.
The Disappearance tells the chilling, real-life story of the disappearance of Patricia Hall from a small town in Yorkshire and the subsequent investigation in which her husband, Keith Hall, appeared to admit to her murder, before questions were raised about the reliability of his “confession.”
