FremantleMedia Enterprises has optioned the rights to produce and distribute "The Drivers," a series based on the high-octane 24-hour motor race in Le Mans in the 1950s/1960s, as part of its global drama strategy.

This news follows last week's announcement of FME's plans to elevate its drama offering to finance and package English-language European drama series for the U.S. market, as well as the rest of the world. As part of its strategy to offer funding to new dramas, FME plans to fund and package "The Drivers" in Europe and then sell it into the U.S. and internationally.

"We are putting significant resources behind our aggressive global drama push," says David Ellender, global chief executive officer of FME. "In addition to 'The Drivers,' we have many projects in development and are currently looking for more. 'The Drivers' is an exciting property with true transatlantic appeal that lends itself to our expertise in extending brands to their full potential across multiple platforms."
