MIPCOM Spotlight: Beyond Distribution

CANNES: There are a number of crime and investigation series in the Beyond Distribution catalogue this MIPCOM, alongside shows in the people and society genre and a number of kids' titles.

Munia Kanna-Konsek, Beyond’s head of sales, calls the genre “an absolute must and an absolute winner,” highlighting the new series Addicted to the Life and A Stranger in My Home. Also in the genre is season seven of Deadly Women and ten new Facing Evil specials.

The people and society genre has Charlotte: My Story, which is the follow-up to Baby Charlotte and Charlotte: A Life without Limbs. “The program is heart-wrenching and heartwarming,” says Kanna-Konsek. “It is a truly inspiring piece of television.”

Beyond also has a wealth of children’s programming. Absolute Genius with Dick & Dom and Hero Squad are both live-action, educational series for the 6-to-12 group.
