Other territories that Sky Vision secured deals for include Australia, Canada, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Israel, New Zealand, Croatia, Latvia and Hong Kong. The new series airs on Discovery UK on Thursday, June 27, at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><em>Arabia with Levison Wood<\/em> follows as the eponymous explorer, writer and photographer tells the story of the Middle East through its people. The eclectic cast of characters he meets includes Syrian grandmothers, Iraqi snipers, shepherds, drug dealers, freedom fighters and nomads, all against a backdrop of majestic landscapes and ancient histories. Wood crosses deserts, dodges warzones and follows in the footsteps of great explorers as he depicts the cultural diversity of the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Wood\u2019s production company Blackmane Media produces, with the series co-funded by Sky Vision, who acquired international distribution rights from Blackmane\u2019s agent, Wolfsong Media.<\/p>\n<p>Niki Page, head of factual and factual entertainment acquisitions at Sky Vision, said: \u201cLev is a veteran traveler and his journey through Arabia is his most challenging and engaging series to date. We\u2019re delighted that it has sold so well internationally and appeals to such a wide global audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wood added: \u201cFilming <em>Arabia<\/em> was a dream come true. I first travelled to the Middle East 15 years prior, so this was a great opportunity to see how it has changed in that time. It&#8217;s one of the most misunderstood regions of the world, so it&#8217;s exciting that Sky Vision is able to distribute the series to an immense global audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jo Cantello, director of Wolfsong Media, said: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled by the success <em>Arabia<\/em> is enjoying so far and to have Sky Vision on board. We can\u2019t wait to share the series with Lev\u2019s supporters worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sky Vision has secured a raft of deals, including a sale to BBC Worldwide, for the adventure series Arabia with Levison Wood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":12992,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[3701,1272,139],"class_list":["post-12991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-arabia-with-levison-wood","tag-levison-wood","tag-sky-vision","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Arabia with Levison Wood Lands Around the World - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/arabia-with-levison-wood-lands-around-the-world\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Arabia with Levison Wood Lands Around the World - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sky Vision has secured a raft of deals, including a sale to BBC Worldwide, for the adventure series Arabia with Levison Wood.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/arabia-with-levison-wood-lands-around-the-world\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-06-25T14:45:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Levison-Wood-619.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/arabia-with-levison-wood-lands-around-the-world\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/arabia-with-levison-wood-lands-around-the-world\/\",\"name\":\"Arabia with Levison Wood Lands Around the World - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-06-25T14:45:15+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-06-25T14:45:15+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/arabia-with-levison-wood-lands-around-the-world\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/arabia-with-levison-wood-lands-around-the-world\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/arabia-with-levison-wood-lands-around-the-world\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Arabia with Levison Wood Lands Around the World\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
