Cineflix Rights Reveals MIPCOM Scripted Slate

Cineflix Rights has unveiled its MIPCOM scripted slate, which includes Rebecca, an official selection at Series Mania 2021.

Produced by Elephant and based on the hit series Marcella, Rebecca centers on the eponymous woman who returns to the police force after quitting six years prior. When she comes back, she becomes convinced a killer from her past has resurfaced.

“The series is filled with enough red herrings, twists and turns and a heart-wrenching journey of loss and redemption to keep viewers gripped through every episode,” says James Durie, head of scripted at Cineflix Rights.

Irvine Welsh’s Crime, from Buccaneer Media, is adapted from the acclaimed author’s best-selling book Crime. It follows as Detective Inspector Ray Lennox undertakes criminal investigations while engaged in his own battle. Dougray Scott (Mission: Impossible 2) stars.

From Yoav Gross Productions, Manayek sees an investigator stumble upon a police corruption case in which the prime suspect is his best friend. The series won Best Drama Series, Best Screenplay for a Drama Series, Best Director, Best Leading Actor and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 2021 Israeli Academy of Film and Television Awards.

“We’re very excited to be launching these three fantastic new series to the international market this fall,” Durie says.

In addition, Cineflix Rights picked up a second season of Happily Married, which sees two middle-class couples in crisis after dropping their kids at summer camp in July 1974. Their search for marital bliss leads them into a life of murder and criminality, ultimately becoming the most infamous criminal quartet in Québec history.

Also on Cineflix Rights’ slate are returning seasons of espionage thriller Tehran, global hit Coroner, supernatural series Wynonna Earp, International Emmy-winning Marcella, Series Mania-winning An Ordinary Woman, cozy crime series Whitstable Pearl, espionage series Mirage and political drama The Minister.

The film slate includes two holiday features: An Ice Wine Christmas and Miracle in Motor City. Left for Dead: The Ashley Reeves Story is also available.

Tim Mutimer, CEO for rights at Cineflix Media, said, “I’m thrilled to be presenting our buyers with an incredibly strong slate of English-language [and] international dramas and movies from some of the most talented writers, producers, directors and actors around the world. From compelling crime to nail-biting espionage and quirky, dark humor, our high-quality catalog of standout new and returning dramas will provide audiences with thrills, entertainment and escapism.”
