Vanguard Tops Viaplay Content Distribution’s MIPCOM Catalog

Vanguard, on offer from Viaplay Content Distribution, tells the story of a media mogul who broke state monopolies and reshaped the media landscape in ways that stretched beyond Sweden.

“With cinematic scope and high-end production value, it’s a compelling choice for audiences drawn to stories of power, legacy and disruption,” says Vanda Rapti, executive VP of Viaplay Select and content distribution.

A Life’s Worth follows young Swedish soldiers on their first UN mission in Bosnia, where a peacekeeping assignment turns into a brutal conflict. Its cast includes Young Royals star Edvin Ryding. “Inspired by true events, it captures both the moral dilemmas of war and the bonds forged in its chaos—offering a raw, human perspective on the cost of duty and the resilience of friendship,” Rapti says.

The four-part docuseries Sport vs. Money takes a deep dive into how football became a billion-dollar business, hosted by Simon Jordan, the Premier League’s youngest-ever club owner. It “provides exclusive insider access to some of the biggest names in football and business, unpicking how the world’s most beloved sport became a billion-dollar industry,” Rapti explains. “With the World Cup on the horizon, the series taps into urgent global conversations around ownership, ethics and the future of football.”

At MIPCOM, “our mission is to reaffirm Viaplay as the home of premium Nordic and European scripted and non-scripted and to inspire partners with the scale and adaptability of our distribution models,” Rapti adds. “Through Viaplay Select and our international Viaplay SVOD channels, we offer tailored solutions for global streamers and aggregators—and Cannes is the perfect place to bring these opportunities to life.”
