Arrow Films is also the leading distributor of international TV series, through its Arrow TV imprint, and single-handedly pioneered the Nordic Noir TV genre, from 2010 onwards, with its releases of iconic DVD box-sets of seminal Scandinavian crime dramas, including The Killing, Wallander, Borgen and The Bridge. From this distinguished legacy of Nordic Noir, Arrow TV has since unearthed some of the finest examples in British TV series, as well as the very best drama that the Nordics, Europe and the rest of the world has to offer, plus some never-before-seen shows curated specifically for its subscription channel, which is dedicated to offering fans of quality TV drama a unique series showcase.
