Among the titles included in the deal is the unique treasure-hunt format Worlds Apart (5×60). The series follows unlikely duos from two different generations who believe they have nothing in common as they compete in a unique journey across Japan. From ancient temples to neon cityscapes, the teams must learn to work together and find common ground to stand a chance of winning a life-changing prize.
Also included is the first season of the RTS Award-nominated Ashley Cain into the Danger Zone (6×60), which sees the former footballer immerse himself in extreme male cultures to explore issues affecting young men born into worlds of criminality. From drug gangs in Marseille to Brazil’s most notorious favelas Cain pushes himself to his limits to understand what it takes to survive.
In the dating space, the original US version of My Mom, Your Dad (8×60) has been acquired. The series follows seven single parents looking for love in a luxurious mansion, unaware that their college-aged kids are secretly observing them and completing challenges to win the right to meddle in their parents’ dating lives. The format went on to be made in 12 further countries including UK, Brazil, Germany, and New Zealand.
The package also features three seasons of the long-running global hit River Monsters (6×60, 6×60, and 7×60). Biologist and adventurer Jeremy Wade casts his line into the murky world of aquatic myths and terrifying predators, combining science and travel to solve extraordinary and deadly mysteries of the deep across seven continents.
Adding to the lifestyle and factual offering are series one of Dream Car Fixers (8×60) from Wiser Films, following lifelong friends Sheldon Nichols and Peter Harriott as they bring vintage motors back to life, and the first series of Skin A&E (10×60) from Boom Cymru, part of ITV Studios, which follows a specialist dermatology clinic treating life-impacting conditions.
