all3media international & Nutopia Pact for A World of Calm

all3media international has partnered with the factual producer Nutopia for A World of Calm, which brings viewers on an immersive journey to soothe the mind with the help of A-list narrators.

Based on the Calm app, the ten-part series was produced for HBO Max in the U.S., where it premiered earlier this month. The agreement will see all3media international handling global distribution rights (excluding the U.S. and Latin America) to A World of Calm. Among the narrators in the series are Mahershala Ali, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Idris Elba, Oscar Isaac, Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz, Lucy Liu, Cillian Murphy, Keanu Reeves and Kate Winslet.

Rachel Job, senior VP non-scripted content at all3media international, said: “We’re very pleased to partner with the incredibly talented team at Nutopia in taking the innovative A World of Calm to an international audience. Nutopia is renowned for producing high-quality non-scripted series with epic scale, and this latest collaboration, coming straight after our recently announced deal with Two Rivers Media, is the perfect next step in our drive to expand our premium factual portfolio.”

Jane Root, founder and chief executive at Nutopia and executive producer on A World of Calm, added: “With its combination of soothing sounds, immersive visuals and scientifically-engineered narratives, A World of Calm is the ideal antidote to our hectic modern lives. The series offers a calm and relaxing experience that audiences are seeking out right now, and we’re looking forward to working with all3media international to build the success of this timely and ambitious HBO Max title on the global stage.”

Michael Acton Smith, Calm co-founder and co-CEO, commented: “Calm started life as a meditation app but the brand has evolved far beyond that. We are delighted to bring the magic behind our audio Sleep Stories to the screen for the first time to an international audience. These experiences are visual Valium and will help people relax and unwind during these stressful times.”
