MIPCOM Spotlight: Power

CANNES: Power is co-producing a brand-new lavish period drama, New Worlds, along with Company Pictures for Channel 4 in the U.K.

The four-hour mini-series is set in the 1680s in England and America, and charts a story of love, loss and the fight for the freedoms and liberties enjoyed today. Along with launching the new project, Power is unveiling a brand refresh this MIPCOM. “We are repositioning ourselves as a generalist producer and distributor of powerful entertainment,” says Susan Waddell, the company’s CEO. “We are playing to our strengths as a small, adaptable and hands-on operation with an intimate knowledge of our product that can supply content distinct from that of the studios.” Power is also highlighting the doc series Breaker Morant: The Retrial and wildlife-focused The Great Penguin Rescue.
