Under the terms of the deal, Kudos will get a first look at future U.K. based projects originated by Knight and support the Birmingham film and TV industry.Kudos, the production company behind “Deadwater Fell” and “Grantchester,” is also producing the upcoming BBC One series “SAS Rogue Heroes,” created by Knight.
Their next collaboration “Two Tone” (working title) has been greenlit by BBC One for a six-part series. “Two Tone” tells the story of an extended family and four young people who are drawn into the world of ska and two tone music, which grew from the grass roots of Coventry and Birmingham in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The music united Black, white and Asian youths in an expression of unity.
It will go into production later this year and will be made in Birmingham at Knight’s new Digbeth Loc film and TV studio. Banijay Rights will handle international distribution. The Kudos-Knight partnership will make a substantial long-term financial investment in skills and training in the U.K.’s West Midlands region, with Digbeth Loc as its hub.
It has the ambition of growing the local workforce, incubating talent and generating a scripted production pipeline in Birmingham. Knight said: “This is a real opportunity to nurture and grow the TV industry in the fertile soil of Birmingham. We need local people, local locations, local know-how and local stories to help us make world beating screen content.
