MIPCOM Spotlight: Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution

The serial drama 24 won over legions of fans in the U.S. and around the world, and Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution is offering up the format for international buyers.

“In India, we have produced two seasons of 24 with great success, and we have also licensed the localized series to 50 countries,” says Dorothy Crompton, the company’s VP of format licensing. The format for Prison Break is also on offer, with its “multiple storylines and many twists” being highlights for global broadcasters.

How I Met Your Mother, meanwhile, is a love story told in reverse that features comedy, romance and friendships. “There are some things that connect people around the world no matter where they might live and each of these appeals to a broad audience because of these themes,” says Crompton.

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer and creator Seth MacFarlane, The Orville is a live-action space adventure series set 400 years in the future that follows the U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory spaceship.

“There is nothing like The Orville on TV today and that, combined with the high production value of every episode, makes this a show not to miss,” says Kristen Finney, the executive VP for EMEA at Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution.

The Gifted, produced by 20th Century Fox Television in association with Marvel Television, is set in the X-Men universe and centers on a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the discovery that their teenage children possess mutant powers.

The Resident is a new medical drama that reveals the truth about what happens behind the scenes at hospitals.
