All3Media International is debuting five new titles at MIPCOM that underscore its focus on premium factual. The new BBC One series Parenthood, produced by Silverback Films, explores life’s greatest challenge, revealing the incredible stories of animal parents.

In the Lion TV film Irresistible: Why We Can’t Stop Eating, industry insiders and experts reveal the science behind ultra-processed food, exploring the underbelly of the food industry and investigating whether it puts profits over our health.

These latest releases add to All3Media International’s growing premium factual slate, joining recent launches such as Raw’s The Body Next Door, which launched as Sky Documentaries highest rated series this year to date, in addition to two Roast Beef Productions’ documentaries, Spacey Unmasked, HOYO Films’ Ukraine: Enemy in the Woods and the festival hit The Accidental President.

Regarding true-crime documentaries, there are new offerings from the All3Media group producer Bright North Studios. This includes all four series of FBI True, totaling 48 episodes, in which real FBI agents divulge the gripping details of their most perilous and notorious cases. PD True for Paramount+ takes viewers behind the crime scene tape as American police officers recall their most shocking and compelling cases. Holly Jolly Homicides for FilmRise in the U.S. and Paramount+ in Canada explores the dark side of the holiday season.

More human-dog matchmaking features on All3Media International’s slate, including season five of The Dog House and the new second season of The Dog Academy, both from Five Mile Films. Gordon Ramsay and reality television star Lisa Vanderpump are competing to lead up-and-coming business owners to victory in the new second series of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars USA.

The BAFTA-winning Race Across the World is back, following five intrepid duos across Asia, plus the second season of the celebrity version, which follows four famous faces on a race across South America. Both titles are produced by Studio Lambert for BBC One. Joe Lycett returns in season 13 of Travel Man: 48 Hours In…, showing his celebrity traveling companions how to get the most out of weekends away in Malaga, Rotterdam, Washington DC and Malmö. Season 18 of The Yorkshire Vet follows all the drama, laughter and tears at James Herriot’s former veterinary practice.

In the way of unscripted formats, Studio Lambert, creators of The Circle, has The Anonymous, a strategic reality competition that sees players competing in two worlds: the real world and anonymous mode. Optomen’s Bad Boyfriends follows as eight unsuspecting bad boyfriends are flown to a paradise destination, only to find that the real purpose of their trip is to whip them into better boyfriend shape—at the behest of their long-suffering girlfriends. The original 12-part versions, hosted by Olivia Attwood, are also available.

From IDTV, creators of The Traitors, Turn on the Charm delivers a flirty road trip meets reality competition adventure, as 12 single contestants attempt to charm their way to a cash prize.

The reality format The Underdog is being rolled out for local adaptation, as is the prime-time quiz Picture Slam. Studio Lambert’s Buy It Now, a studio-based format that turns the product pitch into an entertainment performance, rounds out the slate.
