FME Adds to Home-Entertainment Catalogue

LONDON: FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) has taken on representation for the British label Odyssey and the Australian distributor Shock Entertainment to handle sales for DVD and digital platforms throughout the U.K. and Ireland.

The Odyssey label features titles such as Gone in the Night, Dead Before Dawn and First Do No Harm, as well as the drama Cefalonia and Holiday titles such as The Chrismas Shows. The label also houses a number of docs about the British royal family, including William & Kate: Into the Future, Diana: A Model Princess and The Queen: A Remarkable Life.

The Australian label Shock features such titles as Prisoner Cell Block H, The Twilight Zone and the daily drama Neighbours.

Pete Kalhan, the senior VP of home entertainment and archive for the U.K. at FME, commented, “Both catalogues are fantastic and will be a great complement to our existing portfolio. The Odyssey catalogue has a huge range of titles and the Royal titles will do very well in particular given the renewed interested in the Royal family since the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Shock Entertainment titles will further enhance the quality of our TV offerings; particularly exciting is the extras packed Blu-ray version of The Twilight Zone.”
