Passion Distribution Sets MIPCOM Slate

Passion Distribution arrives at MIPCOM with a slate that aims to “cut through the noise and grab audience attention,” says Nick Tanner, director of sales and co-productions.

Leading that slate is The White House, a new four-part docudrama from Nutopia about America’s most iconic building and its historical residents, including John and Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James and Dolley Madison and many more.

In the reality show #CoupleChallenge, celebrity duos battle in intense physical and mental challenges for a cash prize of €100,000.

I Bought It at Auction with Sarah Beeny dives into the booming world of property auctions.

Other titles on offer include World of Wonders, a quiz show pitting three celebrity teams against each other; The Quest for Camelot, a one-hour documentary in which professor Mark Horton uses scanning technology and archaeological evidence to determine if the legend of Camelot is real; and What Happens in Vegas, a two-parter that follows investigative journalist Tir Dhondy through Las Vegas.

Also available are In Real Life, covering the stories shaping the world; Angus Ashworth’s Yorkshire Country House Weekend, in which the titular auctioneer revives the spirit of the 1930s country house weekend; and The Murder of Nick Billingham.

Returning titles include Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over (season four), Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams (season three), I Met My Murderer Online (season two) and Killer at the Crime Scene (season four).

“Passion Distribution’s mission is to champion bold, genre-defining non-scripted content, formats and IP,” Tanner says. “Our aim is always to push boundaries and provide fresh perspectives in our core genres of factual entertainment, lifestyle, blue-chip series and documentaries.”

He added, “At MIPCOM 2025, we aim to deepen our existing global partnerships and forge new connections for distribution, development, our digital channels and production ventures with UpStream Media.”
