MIPCOM Spotlight: STUDIOCANAL

Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, The Imitation Game) stars in The Child in Time, which is part of STUDIOCANAL’s MIPCOM offering.

The 90-minute drama feature is adapted from Ian McEwan’s Whitbread Prize-winning novel. “The Child in Time is a lyrical and heartbreaking exploration of love, loss and the power of things unseen,” says Beatriz Campos, the head of international sales for TV series at STUDIOCANAL.

The company also has a new ten-part Nordic noir crime thriller, The Lawyer, and the Canal+ original dramedy Paris etc. “We know that our global clients are seeking high-quality event drama that delivers subscribers and increases viewer numbers,” says Campos. “Our wide-ranging and brand-new MIPCOM programming offers strong, engaging and universal storylines with exceptional talent both in front of and behind the camera.”

Campos adds: “We have seen that there is a global demand for high-end series and that, with the right marketing and scheduling, language is just not an issue anymore.”
