MIPTV Spotlight: Electus International

CANNES: James Cameron directed and executive produced the doc series Years of Living Dangerously, which Electus International distributes.

It follows A-listers such as Harrison Ford, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon and Arnold Schwarzenegger as they travel to various regions to see how humans contribute to climate change and how these changes are affecting people around the world. “Climate change and how we as humans are affecting the planet is the most important global story of our generation, and Years tackles [the issue] in an entertaining and informative way,” says John Pollak, the president of Electus International.

The cooking game show Food Fighters is launching in the U.S. on NBC. “Cooking game shows have never been created at the scale of Food Fighters,” says Pollak. “Thanks to some early presales, we have already moved forward with productions in many of the world’s key markets.”

Bet On Your Baby is entering its second season on ABC in the U.S. this spring. “Bet On Your Baby is a family-friendly game show that unites viewers of all ages, from grandchildren to grandparents. ‘How well do you know your child?’ is a universal theme that is an incredibly entertaining idea that has been produced across the globe. We are on air in a dozen markets and have another dozen under option.”
