Keshet International Aligns with New Form on Digital Series

LOS ANGELES: Keshet International (KI) will be launching three millennial- and youth-targeted digital scripted series from New Form to the international market.

KI will offer New Form’s comedy, sci-fi adventure and dark thriller series, all of which are available or soon to premiere in the U.S. on go90, as part of a 20-plus title MIPCOM slate. Two of the three New Form series appearing at MIPCOM have already premiered on go90 in the U.S.: Mr. Student Body President and MISS 2059. KI will also offer COLD, set to premiere in the U.S. on go90 this month on October 13.

“New Form has been at the forefront of creating original premium digital content for new OTT players in the U.S.,” said Sebastian Burkhardt, the senior VP of digital and acquisitions at Keshet International. “With these three remarkable new series, we now have the unique opportunity to expand their reach beyond the booming U.S. market to both linear TV networks—with reformatted 30- and 60-minutes versions—and OTT services throughout the rest of the world. All of which are keen to reach millennial and youth audiences with quality content.”

“Partnering with Keshet on the international distribution of three of our signature series is a significant step forward for our long-term strategy of creating, producing and distributing high-quality programs that have wide millennial appeal across multiple viewing platforms around the world,” added JC Cangilla, the senior VP of business development at New Form. “Keshet is widely respected in the international market as a leader in discovering entertaining new formats, narratives and talent.”
