CEEMEGA Distributions presents brand-new Greek drama Collision
MEGA Distributions is now pitching Collision, Mega Channel’s new limited psychological thriller, crime, and legal drama, to broadcasters and platforms worldwide, the Greek distributor announced. The series in the Sunday primetime in Greece.
The eight-part series is written by Melina Tsampani and Petros Kalkovalis, the powerful writing duo behind MEGA’s crime thriller Silent Road, which has been sold to Italy, the US, Canada and Australia. In October, Collision’s mystery-driven storyline ignited buyers’ interest during MIPCOM 2026, building on the growing presence of Greek drama in the premium scripted television market. In Collision, a fatal crash draws a lawyer into a case that becomes dangerously personal. Across 8 episodes, the character-driven story explores a high-stakes legal case, manipulation, lies, love, and the dangerous gap between proof and belief. “Collision begins with our shared need for justice”, said writers Melina Tsampani and Petros Kalkovalis - “but when a case gets out in the open, the pressure of public opinion mounts, the desire for catharsis becomes personal, and the line between truth and lies begins to blur”. At the center of this uncertainty is Philippos (Dimitris Kapouranis), the man accused of the crime, whom the writers describe as the most complex character to write. “Every reaction of his had to be convincing, whether you see him as a victim or as a perpetrator. The challenge was to preserve that double reading while building a person whose behavior is consistent and recognizable, keeping the question of his guilt or innocence open”, they explain. “As soon as I read the script, I knew Collision was a story built to connect with audiences”, said Kostas Sousoulas, Chief Content & Programming Officer at MEGA Channel. “Following the worldwide success of Silent Road, the creative team has delivered another gripping narrative that transfers universal themes to the screen through sharp storytelling and raw emotion. This is exactly the kind of story we want to invest in,” he concluded. The series features an acclaimed ensemble cast with strong international and theatrical credentials. Dimitris Kapouranis (Philippos) won the prestigious Dimitris Horn Award for best young stage actor in Greece, alongside Melina Mercouri Award nominee Eliza Skolidi (the lawyer). Maria Nafpliotou (the victim’s mother) was featured in Ilya Khrzhanovsky’s DAU project at the 83rd Venice Film Festival this September, while Nikos Psarras (the victim’s father) brings international experience from Costa-Gavras’s Adults in the Room and US series such as The Shield and Guiding Light. MEGA Distributions is the international distribution arm of Alter Ego Media, representing the premium catalog of MEGA, Greece’s leading commercial broadcaster. RELATED
