Escape to the Chateau Lands with Peacock in the U.S.

All3Media International has inked a deal that sees Peacock become the exclusive U.S. home for the long-running series Escape to the Chateau, as well as the brand extension Escape to the Chateau: Make Do & Mend.

Peacock has secured exclusive rights to the new seventh season of Escape to the Chateau, which will premiere in the U.S. on October 1. This will also mark the start of Peacock’s exclusivity deal in the territory for the Escape to the Chateau brand.

Escape to the Chateau, produced by Two Rivers Media and Chateau Television for Channel 4, follows Dick and Angel Strawbridge’s family adventures as they embark on a renovation of a derelict 19th-century French chateau. The spin-off series Escape to the Chateau: Make Do & Mend made its debut in 2020 and recently returned for a second season.

Dick and Angel Strawbridge commented: “We feel incredibly humbled by the support and love shown by our American fans. It’s wonderful that Escape to the Chateau has found its home with Peacock in the U.S., and we cannot wait to tell everyone! Six years ago, when we collected the keys for our dream home here in France’s beautiful Pays de la Loire, we simply did not imagine that so many people worldwide would join us on our journey. We are really looking forward to sharing more of our life, our experiences, findings and knowledge with fans on Peacock.”

Sally Habbershaw, executive VP for the Americas at All3Media International, said: “This new partnership with Peacock creates a fabulous exclusive home in the U.S. for this hugely popular brand. Having previously shared rights in the territory, Peacock will now be the destination for U.S. fans to experience all of Dick and Angel’s adventures. Both titles are full of such warmth, joy and inspiration, whether we’re witnessing all the challenges the couple face as they renovate Chateau de la Motte Husson or getting a unique, and relatable, snapshot of the DIY dilemmas we’re tackling in our own homes.”

Lizi Wootton, head of popular factual at Two Rivers Media, commented: “We are delighted to be sharing Dick and Angel’s Chateau adventures exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. The success of the seventh series of Escape to the Chateau and its spin-off series, Escape to the Chateau: Make Do & Mend. on the global stage is tremendously exciting and a testament to the strong partnership between Two Rivers Media, Chateau TV and All3Media International.”
