Munich, March 31, 2022 – LEONINE Studios has sold the rights to the suspenseful series SURREALESTATE to more than 160 territories following its premiere on SYFY (USA) and on CTV Sci-Fi (Canada) in July 2021. NBCUniversal International Networks & Direct-To-Consumer has acquired the series among others for its science fiction channel SYFY in France, Spain, Portugal, Latin America as well as Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Sky has acquired the series in the UK, Ireland and Italy. Further deals were closed with Rock Entertainment Holdings for Asian territories as well as Stod2 for Iceland and TV2 for Norway.

The acclaimed writer George R. Olson served as creator, showrunner and executive producer on the series together with fellow executive producers Lance Samuels (GINNY & GEORGIA), Daniel Iron (GINNY & GEORGIA), Armand Leo (THE DETAIL), and Danishka Esterhazy (THE BANANA SPLITS MOVIE). Directors are Paul Fox (SCHITT’S CREEK), Paolo Barzman (WYONNA EARP), Danishka Esterhazy, and Melanie Scrofano (WYNONNA EARP), who also guest stars in one of the 10 episodes.
SURREALESTATE is a one-hour drama about a team of real estate specialists who investigate, discover and correct the unconventional problems that make certain properties difficult to sell. They refer to these properties as “metaphysically engaged.” Most of us would call them haunted houses. What makes the team at The Roman Agency unique - and in demand - is their uncanny ability to investigate and explain the truly inexplicable…and find a solution. Solving the mystery, closing the portal, expelling the demon, putting the tortured soul to rest, those are all just the means to a greater end: A sale. After all, closure is nice - but closings are what The Roman Agency is all about.
The series was produced by Blue Ice Pictures for SYFY (USA) and Bell Media (Canada). Worldwide sales are handled by LEONINE Studios and Rainmaker Content.
