Lifting the lid on the plans for MIP LONDON last week in Cannes<\/a>, RX France\u2019s Lucy Smith highlighted that the February 2025 event will feature editions of MIPDoc and MIPFormats, two key calendar entries for the global unscripted segment. \u201cWe believe unscripted has huge potential that week, and we\u2019ll lean into this,\u201d Smith explained in her presentation. \u201cThe importance of MIPDoc and MIPFormats to their communities came through loud and clear after MIPTV ended.\u201d<\/p>\n

RX has assembled advisory boards to shape the agenda, which will see the first-ever London editions of the MIPDoc Co-Production Summit and the MIPDoc Pitch. \u201cIf you look beyond screenings and buyers, there is so much potential to broaden the offering,\u201d Smith added. \u201cFor example, the combination of so many key players already in London, along with those coming in that week, make for an ideal opportunity to host a London edition of FAST&GLOBAL.\u201d<\/p>\n

FAST remains a vibrant area of opportunity for content distributors, and factual IP owners, in particular, are tapping into it by rolling out their own services. That was a key theme of the non-scripted deal news out of MIPCOM. Of note,\u00a0BBC Studios announced a new deal with 9Network in Australia<\/a>\u00a0that includes the Home & Garden, BBC Earth, Top Gear and Antiques Roadshow UK FAST channels;\u00a0Blue Ant Media revealed it was teaming with Pluto TV<\/a>\u00a0for the launch of two FAST channels on the free streaming platform in the U.S.; and\u00a0Samsung TV Plus launched the TV5MONDE Voyage channel in France<\/a>, with the TV5MONDE Info channel to follow in December in France and Italy.\u00a0Samsung TV Plus also extended its relationship with ITV Studios<\/a>\u00a0to bring to German viewers\u00a0Fluss Monster<\/em>\u00a0(River Monster<\/em>) and, in collaboration with ZDF Studios, will launch ZDF zu Hause, featuring ZDF\u2019s most successful home and garden shows.<\/p>\n

BBC Studios had plenty of other news to share last week; the science and wildlife powerhouse signed\u00a0an output deal with Dutch public service broadcaster NPO<\/a>; scored new presales for two of its upcoming titles,\u00a0including the landmark natural history series\u00a0Asia<\/em><\/a>; and announced\u00a0unscripted packages across CEE and sub-Saharan Africa<\/a>. BBC Studios also announced new factual co-pro agreements,\u00a0aligning with JTBC<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0Deep Dive Korea: Song Ji-Hyo\u2019s Haenyeo Adventure<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0China\u2019s Guangdong Radio and Television (GRT)<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Our Home: Wild Guangdong<\/em>\u00a0(w.t.).<\/p>\n

In other high-profile co-pro news,\u00a0Channel 5 boarded as the first broadcast partner for the Keshet International and SandStone Global production<\/a>\u00a0Seven Wonders of the Ancient World<\/em>. The three-part history docuseries, presented by Professor Bettany Hughes OBE, is based on Hughes\u2019s eponymously titled book.<\/p>\n

Access docs tagged to milestone events remain paramount to broadcasters and streamers.\u00a0Tsunami: The Day the Wave Hit\u00a0<\/em>was among the highlights on offer from BossaNova<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>with the company clinching deals on the two-part doc, marking the 20th anniversary of the Indian Ocean tsunami, with Viasat World, SVT and Radio-Canada. All3Media International signed its first round of\u00a0presales with broadcasters across Europe, Asia and Australia for\u00a0Trump: The Criminal Conspiracy Case<\/em><\/a>, including with DR, NRK, SVT, Movistar Plus+ and Nine Network.<\/p>\n

In the factual-entertainment space, meanwhile, All3Media International landed agreements across Europe, Australia and Asia for\u00a0Lion TV\u2019s upcoming documentary\u00a0Irresistible: Why We Can\u2019t Stop Eating<\/em><\/a>. Cineflix Rights sealed multiple deals with international broadcasters and platforms for the\u00a0long-running franchise\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau DIY<\/em><\/a>, including CBC, Nine Network, TVNZ and RTL.\u00a0AMC Networks International UK took all seven seasons of\u00a0Braxton Family Values<\/em><\/a>\u00a0from GRB Media Ranch for AMC Reality, its reality-themed streaming collection on ITVX.<\/p>\n
