MIPCOM Spotlight: Entertainment One Television International

CANNES: The legal drama Conviction just debuted on ABC in the U.S., and Entertainment One (eOne) Television International will be offering up the series for international buyers.

“From The Mark Gordon Company and ABC Studios, the provocative network drama Conviction revolves around a strong ensemble cast featured in an investigative procedural, which is a hugely popular genre that plays well globally,” says Stuart Baxter, the president of eOne Television International.

The eOne slate also features Cardinal, adapted from the novel Forty Words for Sorrow, which is the first of the John Cardinal Mysteries series, and Ransom, following a crisis and hostage negotiator.

“The caliber of talent in front of and behind the camera on all three series is exceptionally paired with strong writing and three-dimensional, layered characters that are truly compelling,” says Baxter.
