All3Media International has placed The Larkins with new broadcasters across Europe, the Asia Pacific, North America and Africa.

The series, from Objective Fiction and Genial Productions, was picked up by Acorn TV for North America, while ABC acquired the feel-good show for Australia and TVNZ for New Zealand. BritBox International took SVOD rights in a pan-territory deal covering Africa.

Broadcast partners in Europe include Filmin (Spain), DR (Denmark), NRK (Norway), Yle (Finland), RUV (Iceland), MTVA (Hungary) and HRT (Croatia). BBC Studios signed a pan-European territory deal covering regions in Central and Eastern Europe. In the U.K., Dazzler Media has signed rights for home entertainment, and BritBox has secured SVOD rights.

The incarnation of H.E. Bates’ novel returned for a second season on ITV with six additional hours.

Layla Smith, CEO at Objective Media Group, commented, “It’s been a joy to join forces with All3Media International on The Larkins as they continue to find partners around the world that offer the perfect fit for the golden-hearted Larkin family. Feel-good, escapist entertainment has never been more sought after, as proven by these brilliant sales, and we look forward to continuing The Larkins’ international adventures.”

David Swetman, senior VP of content and commercial strategy at All3Media International, commented, “Objective Fiction and Genial Productions have created feel-good drama at its best. It’s been wonderful to watch audiences all over the world connect with universal themes of family and community whilst immersing themselves in the glorious Kent idyll and to see so many of our broadcast partners continuing their commitment to the charming adventures of Ma and Pop Larkin and their clan.”
