"Cult Justice"
Cineflix Rights has extended its partnership with leading true crime company Law&Crime Productions, greenlighting the addition of 30 new hours of premium true crime content. Two 10-part series are already in production for Law&Crime Network in the US, which Cineflix Rights will distribute globally. Next, let's go over each of them.
On one hand, "Most Likely to Murder" (10x60’, w/t) explores what happens when the most popular students in class turn out to be cold-blooded killers, revealing the secrets of the infamous young people who became engulfed in the dark world of crime. Meanwhile, "Kill Switch" (10x60’, w/t) reveals how cunning criminals take their crimes to a whole new level, killing their victims to assume their personas in an even more twisted version of identity theft.
Cineflix Rights’ previous deal with Law&Crime Productions greenlit 50 hours of original true crime content, including series such as "Cult Justice", "Murder Uncut" and "Killer Cases", which have sold all over the world including Hulu (US), A&E (US), Channel 4 (UK), Sky (UK), Sky (Germany), TV4 (Sweden), CBC (Canada), ProSieben (Germany), Planète (France), Hearst Networks (EMEA territories including the UK, Africa, Italy, Iberia, Germany Poland, and Africa), and Viasat True Crime (Poland).
Felicia Litovitz, VP Acquisitions, North America, Cineflix Rights who brokered the partnership deal mentioned that agreements of this nature had great reach with international buyers: “Law&Crime are leaders in securing exclusive access to up-to-the minute cases that haven’t been seen before, as well as access to those critical to the investigations including law enforcement, prosecutors, witnesses, and victims. 'Killer Cases', 'Murder Uncut', and 'Cult Justice' have been very successful with our international buyers, and we’re thrilled to be extending our global partnership with Law&Crime through this new deal to greenlight several new series which we are confident will be equally popular;" explained.
Finally, Rachel Stockman, President, Law&Crime Productions referred to the expertise of their partners: “We’re excited to continue our longstanding partnership with Cineflix Rights, a team that has been instrumental in helping us find the perfect partners and bringing our compelling true crime content to audiences around the globe. Their expertise in developing and distributing hit programming has made them invaluable collaborators, and we look forward to creating even more must-watch series together,” noted.
