Present at this year’s Mipcom in Cannes, Electric Entertainment is unveiling new series and films for the international market at their booth on R8B1.
“This year we will be presenting a few titles”, Breanna Perez, International Sales Assistant at Electric Entertainment, said to ttvnews in Cannes.
“There’s a couple of series that we’re very excited for. The first is The Librarians: The Next Chapter. It’s our newest series which will premiere on TNT”, she said.
The Librarians: The Next Chapter is a spinoff of the original TV series The Librarians, which followed the adventures of the custodians of a magical repository of the world’s most powerful and dangerous supernatural artifacts.
“This is really our highlight here at Mipcom. We’re excited that the series hasn’t come out yet, but we have already been picked up for a second season.”
“We also have the second season of The Ark, which is out right now on the SyFy Channel. And we have Leverage: Redemption, season 3 coming out soon in 2025. Those are our main three series and we’re excited for everyone to see them here at Mipcom in our booth”, she added.
Over on the films side, Electric is presenting a very special title, one that was created in-house.
“We have One Big Happy Family. We are very excited for people to see this film. We will be screening it at AFM. It’s a script that’s written the wife of Dean Devlin, CEO of Electric Entertainment. The company is 100% behind it. It’s a heart-warming family movie”, she explained.
In the film, in the midst of planning her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, Rachel’s (Brenner) DNA results come back in the mail. Much to her dismay, it reveals that the man that she had revered for the past 40 years is not her biological father. And now, with every new notification on her phone, Rachel gains new siblings of every ethnicity and career path possible. Questioning her identity, she decides to go on a pilgrimage with her mother, Lenore (Lavin), intent on finding her “real” father. The journey brings her face to face with her siblings, a shady private eye, an inept gynecologist, and an ex-con tattoo artist. The wild voyage culminates in an emotional apex that threatens the indestructible bond between Rachel and Lenore.
