Korea's LG Uplus has acquired Australian drama series, "The Narrow Road to the Deep North", Sony Pictures Television said this evening. The licensing deal is part of a slew of global sales announced today.

The limited series starring Jacob Elordi ("Euphoria") premieres on 15 February at the Berlinale festival followed on 18 April on Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand.

Told over multiple time periods, "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" is about Lieutenant-Colonel Dorrigo Evans (Jacob Elordi) and how his brief World War II affair with Amy Mulvaney (Odessa Young) shaped the rest of his life.

Based on the Booker Prize-winning novel by Richard Flanagan, the series was written for TV by Shaun Grant ("Mindhunter") and directed by Justin Kurzel ("The Order"). 

Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner of SPT’s Curio Pictures executive produce. Flanagan, Grant, and Kurzel are also executive producers, with Alexandra Taussig serving as producer. Principal production funding is provided by Screen Australia, with assistance from the NSW Government through Screen NSW’s Made in NSW and PDV Funds.
