Quintus Studios Acquires Slew of Factual Titles

Quintus Studios has secured a raft of factual acquisitions from France and the U.K., from history series to science documentaries.

Through a collaboration with the French independent documentary distributor Java Films, Quintus Studios has picked up the doc Dinosaurs: On The Trail Of Prehistory, the travel and discovery series Deadliest Journeys—Dicing with Death and two episodes of the engineering series Extreme Constructions (“The Meraviglia Cruise Ship,” “Thunder Boat”).

From the Paris-based international distribution company ONLY DISTRIB, Quintus Studios has acquired the science and lifestyle show Did You Know? The company has also added to its portfolio Special Forces, a series that dives into the world of Asia’s elite; and the science series’ SuperTornado, Snow Wars and Moon Shots from the U.K.-based TVF International.

Through a deal with Drive in London, Quintus Studios picked up World’s Worst Flights and Super Scary Plane Landings. The former is produced by Arrow Media for Channel 5, while the latter is produced by Peacock UK for Channel 5.
