TCB Teams with Barcroft for Extreme Love

Barcroft Media and TCB Media Rights have entered into a co-production deal that sees the distributor acquire the worldwide rights to sell a new long-form TV series based on the popular digital show Extreme Love.

Extreme Love features tales of relationships where traditional notions of romance are reimagined for the 21st century and features stories such 21-year old Jess from Florida who lives with her 24-year-old boyfriend and spends time in her cot as an “adult baby.” Barcroft Media has produced a series of short-form documentaries in the Extreme Love strand that have collectively attracted more than 146 million views to date on the Barcroft TV YouTube channel and more than 42 million views on Facebook Watch in five months. The long-form version features eight hour-long episodes.

Barcroft Media CEO Sam Barcroft said: “We are delighted to be collaborating with TCB Media Rights to deliver this fantastic new series. People are endlessly fascinated by unusual relationships, and now we get to supersize this subculture for television.”

Paul Heaney, CEO of TCB Media Rights, said, ‘‘Barcroft Media has shown its unrivalled prowess once again in gaining access to the world of stories that feature in Extreme Love. It’s a perfect example of how a nonlinear idea can inspire new long form ideas to new TV audiences. TCB’s mission is to work with the best indies in each sector of factual programs so working with Sam and his colleagues means that is accomplished.”
