The company’s slate features the series Chuck’s Week Off: Mexico, World’s Weirdest Restaurants, The Twitch, Vintage Hunter, Obsessions and Highway Cops. Buyers at MIPDoc will see new blue-chip documentaries from Beyond, including Hero Dogs of 9/11, Gallipoli From Above, Programmed to Be Fat, Generation Boomerang, Chuckmas and Charlotte: A Life Without Limbs. In addition, series returning to MIP include Hot Property, Behind Mansion Walls, The Holiday Show, Lab Rats Challenge, Rush TV and Dick ‘n’ Dom Go Wild!

Yvonne Body, the head of acquisitions for Beyond Distribution, commented, “We are really happy to have so many new and returning programs from producers we already work with, as well as welcoming some new companies to the Beyond fold. Once again Beyond has all bases covered in the range of program we are releasing.”

Body continued: “We’re particularly excited to be able to introduce Chuck Hughes in person at MIP to the buyers who have been airing Chuck’s Day Off, and will hopefully be adding Chuck’s Week Off: Mexico and Chuckmas to their schedules. I’ve eaten at his restaurant in Montreal, so I know that they’re in for a treat at his cooking demonstration in Cannes.”
