So to see The Lie Detective<\/em> capture the imagination of so many international broadcasters so quickly is amazing. We hope the success of these international versions will see the brand continue to grow globally and create a platform for more of our ideas to travel internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n Angela Neillis, the director of non-scripted for the U.K., EMEA and Asia Pacific at FremantleMedia International, commented, \u201cWhen we first spoke to True North about The Lie Detective<\/em>, we knew that the show had massive potential for distribution as both a finished tape sale of the Channel 4 version, but also as a format, which FremantleMedia has converted into a remarkable number of sales. True North\u2019s show has absolute honesty at its core, which provides audiences with awkward revelations, heartfelt declarations or relationship-destroying confessions\u2014all addictive viewing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following the premiere of True North\u2019s The Lie Detective on Channel 4 in the U.K. in 2016, FremantleMedia has secured sales for the factual reality program with partners across the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[326,2412,2249],"class_list":["post-10430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-fremantlemedia","tag-the-lie-detective","tag-true-north","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
