Beyond Unveils In-House Slate for MIPTV

SYDNEY: This MIPTV Beyond Distribution plans to present 100 hours of programming produced by Beyond Productions, Beyond Action and Beyond Screen Production.

Titles include the 6×1-hour social documentary series Hidden in America—produced for Destination America—which focuses on secretive subcultures in the U.S. Other in-house-produced highlights include the 26×30-minute kids’ entertainment show History Hunters, which was ordered by Super RTL, TV Ontario, ABC Australia and Seven Network Australia.

Beyond is also set to showcase a number of returning titles, including MythBusters 8, Dark Minds 2, Toybox 4 and Rush TV 4.

Munia Kanna-Konsek, the head of sales for Beyond Distribution, remarked: "One of the strengths of the Group is that we have premium programs made in-house and Beyond’s producers never let us down with subject matter, genre or quality. We are especially excited about Hidden in America and everyone’s favorite MythBusters. Also, having commissioning broadcasters return for successive series and to commission new series, speaks volumes to the success we have had with sales of all our children’s titles. History Hunters has received various offers without us having even launched or pitched as yet."
