Wattpad, the Toronto-based storytelling app that combines crowdsourced content and original IP, is heading to Germany after striking a development and production deal with Bavaria Fiction.
This comes after numerous deals with Hollywood studio partners including Sony Pictures Television and eOne and broadcasters such as Hulu and Netflix.
The deal will give Bavaria Fiction, which is a joint venture between Bavaria Film and ZDF Enterprises, access to more than a million German-language stories on the platform and its 1.3m community in German-speaking territories. Germany users apparently spend an average of 10 minutes on the platform every day and Bavaria Fiction is keen to take a more data-driven approach to its slate.
