FilmRise Picks Up North American Rights to Medici

FilmRise has acquired the exclusive North American distribution rights to the historical drama Medici, produced by Lux Vide.

The deal covers all three seasons of the series, which stars Dustin Hoffman (Tootsie, Rain Man), Richard Madden (Bodyguard, Game of Thrones), Stuart Martin (Miss Scarlet and the Duke), Daniel Sharman (Fear the Walking Dead, Immortals) and Alessandra Mastronardi (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent). The show delves into the mix of art, politics, betrayal and ambition that characterized the Medici family’s dominance over 15th-century Florence.

The series is produced in collaboration with Rai Fiction, Big Light Productions, Wild Bunch TV (season one) and Altice (seasons two and three). The series premiered in the U.S. and Canada on Netflix.

“With its legendary cast, high-quality production and captivating historical backdrop, Medici is a standout addition to our vast library of compelling content,” said Jonitha Keymoore, head of content at FilmRise. “We’ve always been committed to making programs accessible to everyone, whether through FAST channels or subscription-based platforms, and we’re proud to continue that tradition with Medici.”
