MIPCOM Spotlight: Tricon Films & Television

CANNES: Tricon Films & Television has been named the exclusive worldwide distributor for the slate of original scripted comedies from the U.S. network IFC and will be showcasing these titles at MIPCOM.

The first two IFC series that Tricon is bringing to the market under the new pact are Comedy Bang! Bang! and Bunk. “IFC has attracted an incredible lineup of marquee talent to their projects moving forward, and Comedy Bang! Bang! and Bunk are good examples,” says Lia Dolente, the manager of international sales at Tricon.

Alongside the IFC offerings, Tricon is presenting I Didn’t Do It, a factual crime-and-investigation series airing on Investigation Discovery in the U.S., Crime & Investigation in the U.K. and Discovery Canada. “Factual crime series are a very popular genre internationally,” says Dolente.
