Cineflix Rights has unveiled the Spring 2023 slate of content it has prepared for buyers who will attend The London TV Screenings. "The leading independent distributor is showcasing more than 200 hours of fresh content, including the premiere of a high-profile entertainment format, compelling new dramas, and multiple new factual shows spanning a wide range of genres, together with returning seasons of scripted and unscripted brands," Tim Mutimer, CEO Rights, Cineflix Media said. “As The London TV Screenings grows ever bigger in scale and importance, we’re thrilled to be launching our largest ever spring slate at the event,."

The catalog includes "Tempting Fortune."

But, as they make their way across tough and hostile terrain they’ll be met with tantalising and enticing temptations, each with an exorbitant price tag, the cost of which is removed from their shared prize pot. The ultimate test of willpower and self-restraint, this noisy and provocative social experiment promises to reveal what we truly value.
