BBC, DR, NPO, NRK, and VRT are launching The Northern Star Project, a partnership focused on the development of scripted fiction series for children aged 7 and up, with the produced series being broadcast in all participating countries. The initiative offers Dutch writers and producers concrete opportunities for international co-production, while AVROTROS is involved in the first Dutch series to emerge from this process. Further details will be announced in July during the Children's Media Conference in Sheffield.
