CANNES: Endemol Worldwide Distribution's new MIPCOM lineup includes The Ark and Death Comes to Pemberley, period dramas featuring star-studded casts.

The Ark, which tells the stories of World War I’s front-line medics, stars Oona Chaplin, Hermione Norris and Suranne Jones. Death Comes to Pemberley, adapted by Juliette Towhidi from P.D. James’s best-selling novel, features Anna Maxwell Martin, Matthew Rhys and Matthew Goode. The Endemol Group is presenting both titles along with The Incredible Spice Men.

“There is incredible demand for cooking programs around the world,” says Cathy Payne, the CEO of Endemol Worldwide Distribution. “The Incredible Spice Men aren’t reinventing the wheel, they are spicing up our lives and our food by offering an alternative—let’s not change those tried-and-tested recipes, let’s give them a bit of oomph!”
