Welcome to Global Breakouts, Deadline’s strand in which, each fortnight, we shine a spotlight on the TV shows and films killing it in their local territories. The industry is as globalized as it’s ever been, but breakout hits are appearing in pockets of the world all the time and it can be hard to keep track. So we’re going to do the hard work for you.

A very European outing this week, as we spotlight a French-Hungarian series telling the story of the unprecedented 1997 chess match between Garry Kasparov and… a supercomputer, which has plenty resonance nearly 30 years on. Arte’s Rematch won big at Series Mania earlier this year and streamers have taken rights in a wealth of different territories. Could a U.S. sale be on the cards?
