Prestige Drama with Global Appeal
"Beyond" ticks the boxes for prestige drama with its high production values and ability to tap into Europe's robust financing landscape.

Thrilling and Thought-Provoking
"Beyond" captivates viewers with its polished visuals, suspenseful soundtrack, and a potent blend of procedural elements and an incomprehensible reality. The series explores the weight of the past, both personal and historical, as well as themes of fantasy.
Market Debut at London TV Screenings
New Regency will showcase "Beyond" at the London TV Screenings, with market screenings for invited guests on February 24th and 25th. This debut marks the beginning of New Regency's expansion into the European premium scripted series market.
