Alchimie Strikes Deal for Off the Fence Docs

Alchimie has entered into a pact with Off the Fence to distribute 150 hours of the nonfiction specialist’s content via its themed subscription channels.

The new agreement adds premium German- and Spanish-language documentaries to Alchimie’s 45,000-hour strong portfolio of multilanguage factual content. The titles include history, travel, science, nature and culture documentaries for Alchimie’s editorially themed subscription Crime, Humanity, Species and Big Name channels, which are distributed to over 40 digital platforms and telcos across Europe, including TV Player, Alchimie’s U.K.-based OTT platform.

Alchimie has also acquired six U.S. reality titles from Off the Fence to support its recently launched lifestyle channels in France.

Off The Fence’s specialism of prestigious factual content with global appeal is a great fit for our content portfolio, which we rely on to regularly refresh our channels and keep viewers engaged.”
