ZEE5, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd‘s video streaming service, has announced a partnership with BBC Studios India, the production and distribution arm of the British Broadcasting Company (BBC).

“The goal for 2022 is to provide high-quality content across genres and languages.” ZEE5, in addition to expanding its portfolio of Hindi originals, is curating a list of unique stories across formats and languages to create a platform with a variety of options for its viewers.

The show, according to Sameer Gogate, general manager – of BBC Studios India, will be set in the world of TV news journalism. “The strength of our formats lies in their ability to cross-cultural and linguistic boundaries.” “We hope ZEE5’s Hindi audience enjoys the gripping personal and professional dramas that the characters face under the pressure of a 24-hour news cycle,” Gogate said in a statement.

Mike Bartlett created and wrote the original UK series Press, which is a Lookout Point, BBC Studios, and Deep Indigo production co-produced with Masterpiece. In 2018, it aired on BBC One in the UK and PBS Masterpiece in the US, with the original series taking place in a print newsroom rather than a TV newsroom.
