ATF 2023: Bomanbridge Media reaches multiple sales for its lifestyle and scripted slate

Bomanbridge Media starts ATF 2023 with a strong slate of lifestyle and scripted sales to Netflix Asia, BBC Asia, SBS Australia and Mediawan France.

Following the pick-up by Netflix Southeast Asia, new food doc series "Chefs Uncut" (6x30'), from Singapore’s Creators Lab, has been additionally acquired by PCCW in Hong Kong, SBS Australia and Mediawan in France.

Season 1 has just been delivered and premieres on Netflix Southeast Asia in Q1 2024, with Season 2 currently under development.

Elsewhere, BBC Studios Asia acquired "Billionaire Resorts" (6x60', Rumpus Media for Channel Five), which looks inside some of world’s luxurious holiday resorts, while Mongolia’s Mongol HD inked a 160+ hour drama package with "TV Prisoner No 1" (64x60'), "The Baker and The Beauty" (26x60'), "The Brave" (13x60'), "Deep Crime Unit" (D.C.U) (10x60'), "Blue Moon" (30x60’) and "The A Word" (18x60' - the UK adaptation of Israeli series Yellow Peppers), through Bomanbridge’s collaboration with Keshet International.
