All3Media International has signed a raft of new deals for Two Brothers Pictures’ latest installment of the detective drama Baptiste, which has sold to more than 180 territories across five continents.

Broadcast partners include Masterpiece in North America, Tohokushinsha in Japan, Sky in New Zealand and a pan-territory deal with Starz covering German-speaking Europe, French-speaking Europe, Italian-speaking Europe, Latin America and French overseas territories. Deals are also in place with BBC Studios ANZ for Australia and BBC Studios Asia for BBC First.

Multiple European broadcasters have acquired the drama, including TV+ (Turkey), DR (Denmark), Seznam TV (Czech Republic) and VRT (Belgium), C More (Scandinavia), TV4 (Sweden), Canal+ (Poland) and Disney+ (Portugal).

Maartje Horchner, executive VP of content at All3Media International, commented, “It is fantastic to see so many broadcasters continuing their commitment to Baptiste as we await delivery of the much-anticipated second season. Since his debut as the insightful but stubborn investigator Julien Baptiste in Two Brothers Pictures’ The Missing, Tchéky Karyo has created an iconic, complex character who has enthralled audiences around the world. With the equally mesmerizing Fiona Shaw joining the cast and a new twist-laden investigation devised by acclaimed writers Harry and Jack Williams, season two promises to offer another masterclass in gripping detective drama.”
