MIPCOM Spotlight: Entertainment One

CANNES: Entertainment One (eOne) Television International is heading to MIPCOM with the martial-arts series Into the Badlands.

The film features choreographed fight scenes similar to those found in film, according to Stuart Baxter, the president of Entertainment One (eOne) Television International. The company is also promoting Fear the Walking Dead, the companion series to the hit horror show The Walking Dead that begins at the onset of the zombie apocalypse. The program’s summer premiere secured record-breaking audience numbers for AMC Global. “Like the original groundbreaking series, Fear merges captivating story lines, compelling characters and edge-of-your-seat suspense; but what’s unique about this prequel is that viewers will get to see how this apocalyptic world unfolds,” says Baxter. Another highlight is David Attenborough’s Great Barrier Reef.

Baxter notes, “We’re looking forward to meeting potential co-production partners and continuing to expand our creative partnerships with high-caliber talent and producers.”
