La Presse Télé Notches Up New Sales

MONTREAL: La Presse Télé has landed new deals on The Parents, including a sale in Poland to TVP.

Sales agent Barbara Kalicinska from BK Media sealed the deal with TVP over the summer. The company LLC Yello Black and White Group from Russia also signed up for the scripted family comedy. Barbara Vallant from Aroma TV handled the negotiation of the agreement.

Meanwhile, the Israeli version of The Parents premiered this summer on Channel 10. United Studios of Israel has now ordered a further 10 episodes for a total of 36 episodes in a first season. The French territory was attracted to the original Québec series, acquiring the rights to the ready-to-air version. The three seasons (64 episodes) will be partly dubbed by the Québec actors to harmonize the series with the French expressions. Thanks to La Presse Télé’s exclusive agent of ready-to-air, Double V, the contract was signed with Canal+ Family channel in France.
