Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has extended its deal with TVF International for Unbelievable Me to include six additional regions.

Unbelievable Me shows people who refuse to allow their disabilities to dominate their lives, including an Indian schoolboy who suffers from hypertrichosis or “Werewolf Syndrome” and a teenage amputee who uses bionic arms. WBD’s linear channels and discovery+ will air the series in the Nordics, Central and Eastern Europe, Iberia, India, the Middle East and Africa, in addition to the territories previously announced.

WBD already bought the ten-part series for the U.K., Germany, Benelux, Italy, Latin America and Poland.
