MIPTV Spotlight: Beyond Distribution

CANNES: The factual series Beach Cops, one of Beyond Distribution’s MIPTV highlights, puts viewers at the center of the action on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, following the men and women responsible for street policing and rescue operations.

“Beach Cops is a series that will stand out in the market, as the characters are warmhearted, humorous but committed to their career,” says Munia Kanna-Konsek, the head of sales at Beyond Distribution.

The series Too Many Cooks, which Beyond also has the format rights for, follows three amateur cooking couples competing against each other to feed demanding party hosts.

The company is also offering the latest spin-off from the Love It or List It franchise with Love It or List It: Vacation Homes. “This property is exceptionally popular and goes from strength to strength,” says Kanna-Konsek.

“These programs are all very versatile,” adds Kanna-Konsek. “They lend themselves to assorted local versioning, as well as provide co-viewing opportunities.”
