Walter Iuzzolino said: "We know that Wales is a producer of world-class and award-winning drama, which makes me truly excited to be able to share my selection of dramas with a knowledgeable and progressive audience.

"The best shows take hold of the viewer and never let go, and that is precisely the aim of Walter Presents ar gyfer S4C."

Amanda Rees, S4C Content Director, said: "Y Gwyll, Un Bore Mercher and Bang are excellent examples of Welsh original drama which have become international successes.

Based on Kristina Ohlsson's novels, Offeren Stockholm (Stockholm Requiem) is a stylish Swedish drama featuring criminologist Frederika Bergmann as its main character.

After a tragic car accident, she accepts a job at Stockholm police's special investigation unit. Despite her colleagues' initial hostility towards her, she applies her unique perspective and sense of logic to help them solve their cases.

In Afonydd Gwaedlyd (Crimson Rivers) old-school police detective Pierre Niemans and his former student Camille Delaunay tackle complex, brutal murder cases involving unsettling rituals in this breathtaking French crime drama.

No case is too shocking or bizarre for the two formidable detectives as they investigate extraordinary crimes in remote areas of France steeped in regional myths, cults and beliefs.
