All3Media International has inked a slew of deals for the Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham feature-length drama Help, which is headed to platforms across Europe and the Asia Pacific.

Huanxi Media Group acquired Help in China, where the drama will be available on the OTT platform Huanxi Media. Network Ten acquired rights in Australia, launching Help on Paramount+ earlier this year. In New Zealand, the drama will premiere on Rialto next year, and RLJ will cover SVOD and DVD rights across Australia and New Zealand.

In Europe, the feature-length drama will broadcast on Telefonica (Spain), NPO (Netherlands), Estonia TV (Estonia) and COSMOTE TV (Greece). HBO Europe acquired rights across multiple territories, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Kosovo and Slovenia.

These deals follow the recent acquisition by Acorn, which will premiere the drama in the U.S. and Canada in early 2022.

Written by Jack Thorne, directed by Marc Munden and helmed by The Forge, Help follows the relationship between a young care home worker (Comer) and a patient (Graham), whose lives are changed forever by the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in spring 2020.
