Cineflix Rights Picks Up A New Life in the Sun

Cineflix Rights has signed a deal to become the exclusive worldwide distribution partner for True North’s long-running franchise A New Life in the Sun.

The series follows fearless expats as they start new lives and businesses in dream locations across Europe. Cineflix Rights will be presenting ten seasons of the original show at MIPCOM, along with seven seasons of the spin-off A New Life in the Sun: Where Are They Now? and one season of A New Life in the Sun: Road Trip.

“A New Life in the Sun is one of the U.K.’s best-performing, long-running brands, offering audiences the perfect mix of escapism, jeopardy and advice to viewers thinking of pursuing their own dreams to live abroad,” said Richard Life, senior VP of acquisitions and co-productions at Cineflix Rights. “We are thrilled to be True North’s international distribution partner and new home for the brand and looking forward to launching the series to buyers at MIPCOM.”

Norma Wisnevitz, CEO of True North, added, “Cineflix Rights has a great track record of building global television brands and delivering the maximum returns to producers from international buyers, so they were a natural fit for A New Life in The Sun. We’re looking forward to working with their fantastic team to make the series even more successful on a global scale.”
