MGM Television and Israeli-based global entertainment studio Sipur have renewed their first-look production and distribution deal. The agreement, which began in 2020, has resulted in projects such as “We Will Dance Again,” the feature chronicling firsthand accounts of the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel’s Nova Music Festival.
“We Will Dance Again,” directed by Yariv Mozer, is scheduled to appear on Paramount+ in the U.S., co-producers BBC Storyville in the UK and HOT Channel 8 in Israel. Mozer previously collaborated with Sipur and MGM Television on “The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes,” which also appeared on the BBC.
“Sipur has been a tremendous partner, sharing our vision for elevating premium content that informs audiences around the world,” said MGM TV head Lindsay Sloane. “We are thrilled to continue this fruitful collaboration and, together, we’re poised to bring even more compelling stories to the global stage.”
Emilio Schanker, Sipur CEO, added: “MGM Television is a great partner that has been highly supportive of our ambitious co-production slate. We are excited to continue this very productive relationship, which has given us the bandwidth to successfully pursue our overall company focus of elevating high-end film and television projects to the international stage through key strategic partnerships.”
In addition to “We Will Dance Again,” MGM Television — a division of Amazon MGM Studios — has produced scripted series including “Wednesday” (Netflix), “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu), “Fargo” (FX), “Vikings: Valhalla” (Netflix), and the upcoming “El Gato” starring Diego Boneta for Prime Video. The division’s television programming regularly airs in more than 100 countries worldwide.
Sipur’s recent works include “Munich ’72,” reality dating show “Hungry For Love” and the upcoming scripted series, “Bad Boy.”
