Series available include acclaimed Belgian series, 13 Commandments; addictive Dutch thriller, The Adulterer; and, haunting French crime drama, Vanished by the Lake.
Walter Iuzzolino, co-founder and curator of Walter Presents, commented: āNew Zealanders are renowned for their love of travel and their curiosity about the world, so I am really delighted and excited to offer a slice of so many different cultures for their enjoyment on-demand in the comfort of their own homes. TVNZ is one of the worldās most established and admired broadcasters and weāre truly thrilled to be partnering with them to make the very best international drama freely available to view anytime and anywhere.ā
