The series has funding from Paul Heaney\u2019s BossaNova Media, which holds the worldwide distribution rights.<\/p>\n<p>back2back will also produce a third season of <em>Unexplained: Caught on Camera<\/em> for discovery+, Really and the Travel Channel. It uses a clip-show format to explore UGC footage\u2014from poltergeist activity caught on mobile phones to apparitions on CCTV systems and car dash-cams. A team of paranormal experts casts a critical eye over the footage and listens to the firsthand accounts of the people involved. <em>Unexplained: Caught on Camera<\/em> is represented globally by Canadian distributor Boat Rocker Media.<\/p>\n<p>The series producer for <em>Engineering Repurposed<\/em> is Hannah Assenza (<em>Food Unwrapped<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Undateables<\/em>). <em>Unexplained: Caught on Camera<\/em> is produced by Brett Lawrence (<em>Gogglebox<\/em>, <em>Dating No Filter<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>In other deals, back2back has presold the fifth season of <em>The World\u2019s Deadliest Weather<\/em> to BBC Earth and M6 France. The new season, which is distributed internationally by Drive, features archive and user-generated footage of extreme weather events from across the planet. The series producer is Nigel Gainsborough (<em>Scrap Kings<\/em>, <em>Richard Hammond\u2019s Workshop<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>David Notman-Watt, founder and managing director of back2back, said: \u201cAs a regional indie, we thought we were doing well to still be trading after the last two years, which have seen so many small creative businesses go under. To be able to announce a new commission\u2014and a commission from a media giant, at that\u2014is genuine cause for celebration. With Quest and BossaNova on board, <em>Engineering Repurposed<\/em> is not only guaranteed to be seen and sold around the world but will be a welcome addition to our growing slate of returnable bankers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>back2back Productions\u2019 new science series Engineering Repurposed has been presold to Quest, while Unexplained: Caught on Camera will return for Really.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":17963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2018,6146,824,3604],"class_list":["post-17962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-back2back-productions","tag-engineering-repurposed","tag-quest","tag-unexplained-caught-on-camera","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>back2back Secures Deals for Unscripted Series - 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\/back2back-secures-deals-for-unscripted-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"back2back Secures Deals for Unscripted Series - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"back2back Productions\u2019 new science series Engineering Repurposed has been presold to Quest, while Unexplained: Caught on Camera will return for Really.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/back2back-secures-deals-for-unscripted-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-04-20T14:40:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-04-20T16:34:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Engineering-repurposed-back2back-0422.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"401\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\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\/back2back-secures-deals-for-unscripted-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/back2back-secures-deals-for-unscripted-series\/\",\"name\":\"back2back Secures Deals for Unscripted Series - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-04-20T14:40:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-04-20T16:34:53+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/back2back-secures-deals-for-unscripted-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/back2back-secures-deals-for-unscripted-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/back2back-secures-deals-for-unscripted-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"back2back Secures Deals for Unscripted Series\"}]},{\"@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\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
