Power Announces MIPCOM Lineup

LONDON, October 5: Power will offer up a lineup of new
mini-series, contemporary action series and a range of TV movies at MIPCOM.

On Power’s slate is the action thriller XIII: The
Conspiracy; Pinocchio, a big-budget adaptation of one of the best-loved
fairy tales of all time; and The Summit, a two-part action mini-series for CBC. Also part of Power’s MIPCOM
offerings is the 13-hour Robinson Crusoe, a remake of Daniel Defoe’s classic novel for NBC, and the new 13-part
fantasy drama series The Changeling,
which is being produced for ABC and CBC.

Power will also highlight a range of programming from its
longstanding output deal with RHI Entertainment. These include Tin Man, a remake of the Wizard of Oz; the action-packed thriller Final Approach; and Flash Gordon, RHI’s 22×1-hour live-action series starring Eric
Johnson (Smallville) in the title
role.

Building on the success of its Power Thrillers, a stable of
two-hour prime-time made-for-television movies featuring dynamic female leads,
Power will also present Lethal Obsession
and Voices, the latest titles in that
growing portfolio. Lethal Obsession
stars Kellie Martin (Live Once, Die
Twice, ER) as a young mother who hides a blighted past. Voices stars Amy Acker (Angel, Alias)
as a woman who is forced to play detective
when she discovers an unlikely ability to communicate with the dead.

Justin Bodle, the founder and CEO of Power, said: “This
slate consolidates Power’s position as one of the leading producers of high end
event television in the world. All our new mini-series go into production
shortly and in addition, we are committed to producing a further six Power
Thrillers, our successful in-house TV movie brand, over the coming 18 months.”
