Get started with our original formats
Since the summer of 2014, Panenka has been realising a range of productions within these genres: entertainment, fiction & documentary.
Panenka’s ambition is to create content that appeals to local audiences, but at the same time has the potential to be internationally successful.
The best proof of this is the many remakes and ready mades of our programmes that can be seen far beyond the national borders. Taboo got its own version in no fewer than nine countries, including Spain, Canada and Australia, a remake of Switch has been running for more than 150 episodes in the USA and Two Summers can be seen in 180 countries worldwide thanks to Netflix and Canal+.
