MIPCOM Spotlight: Keshet International

Keshet International is highlighting its drama and unscripted titles at MIPCOM, including The Trial of Christine Keeler.

The drama tells the story of the Profumo affair political sex scandal. In Secret Bridesmaids’ Business, a wedding turns deadly when a stranger invited by a bridesmaid ends up triggering a potentially fatal chain reaction that opens a world of secrets. Rachel Griffiths (Brothers & Sisters) stars in the Australia-set political drama Black B*tch (Total Control). Rose Hughes, VP of sales at Keshet International, says: “From the richly evocative re-creation of the Swinging Sixties in The Trial of Christine Keeler to the expansive, sun-drenched Outback featured in Black B*tch and the richly decaying autumnal Australian vineyards of Secret Bridesmaids’ Business, these beautifully crafted series will take viewers on a journey with their universal stories of power, intrigue, sex, politics and revenge.”

“Keshet International has an ongoing pipeline of high-end, glossy-looking and star-studded dramas,” she says.

In unscripted fare, Dominic Littlewood immerses himself in dangerous U.S. institutions for 24 hours to find out what it takes to be one of America’s unsung heroes in Dom Does America. In Speed Freaks, the legendary daredevil Zef Eisenberg pushes cars to their limits and attempts to break and set a new record. From the initial call into the animal emergency room to the reactions of grateful pet owners whose unwell companions needed urgent care, the documentary-reality series Animal Ambulance follows the hard work of emergency veterinary doctors and nurses. “All three of these are high-octane, broad-appeal factual-entertainment shows with heart alongside genuine jeopardy and drama,” says Hughes.

She adds, “Keshet International has a guaranteed pipeline of fresh, diverse and high-quality English-language factual finished tape and formats.”
