Israeli drama Kvodo tells the story of a respected judge on the cusp of promotion when his son gets caught up in a hit-and-run accident that embroils him in the empire of a local crime lord.

The series was remade as Your Honor for Showtime in the US starring Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston, while a German version debuts this month on ARD and fellow pubic broadcaster ORF’s Austrian adaptation has Sebastian Koch in the lead role.

The series is a coproduction between Germany’s SquareOne Entertainment and Austria’s Mona Film Produktion, with the former having secured rights from Israel-based Yes Studios. The latter’s former MD, Danna Stern, who stepped down earlier this year, and SquareOne CEO Al Munteanu spoke to Ruth Lawes about the show and the challenges facing scripted formats in the age of streaming.
