Independent distributor All3Media International will debut one of its most diverse slates of unscripted programming yet at MIPCOM 2024. Alongside premium factual series, long-running true crime, new series from returning favorites, and more, it will also introduce a range of brand-new formats from renowned producers such as Studio Lambert, IDTV, and Optomen.
Underscoring the distributor’s position as the go-to destination for premium factual, All3Media International will showcase five new titles at MIPCOM. Major new BBC One series "Parenthood" – produced by leading natural history producer Silverback Films – explores life’s greatest challenge, revealing the incredible stories of animal parents. 72 Films’ signature, high-quality storytelling will capture all the action as it unfolds in "Trump: The Criminal Conspiracy Case," a new feature-length observational documentary for the BBC charting every step Trump makes as he doubles down on his efforts to reclaim the title of the world’s most powerful man. Recently announced "ZANDLAND," an investigative documentary "Barbie’s Dirty Secrets," will deliver never-before-seen access into the hidden worlds of Barbie and Mattel. Told with empathy, objectivity, and distinct filmmaking, this documentary is available now for clients around the world to license.
From Nutopia, world leaders in premium drama-documentary, "Jesus: Crown of Thorns" is the definitive story of one of the most significant figures in history, combining action-packed, character-led drama with compelling insight from experts. In the ambitious, pioneering film from Lion TV, "Irresistible: Why We Can’t Stop Eating," industry insiders and experts reveal the science behind ultra-processed food, exploring the underbelly of the food industry and investigating whether it puts profits over our health.
These latest releases add to All3Media International’s growing premium factual slate, joining recent launches including Raw’s "The Body Next Door," which launched as Sky Documentaries’ highest-rated series this year to date, in addition to two Roast Beef Productions’ documentaries; Grierson-nominated "Spacey Unmasked," HOYO Films’ acclaimed debut "Ukraine: Enemy in the Woods," and festival favorite "The Accidental President."
A slate of true crime documentaries from new All3Media group producer Bright North Studios will also showcase at MIPCOM. This includes all four series of "FBI True," totaling 48 episodes, in which real FBI agents divulge the gripping details of their most perilous and notorious cases. "PD True" for Paramount+, US takes viewers behind the crime scene tape as American police officers recall their most shocking and compelling cases, and "Holly Jolly Homicides" for Filmrise, US, and Paramount+, Canada explores the dark side of the holiday season.
More human-dog matchmaking features on All3Media International’s slate, including season five of "The Dog House" and the new second season of "The Dog Academy," both from Five Mile Films. Superstar chef Gordon Ramsay and reality television icon Lisa Vanderpump are competing to lead up-and-coming business owners to victory in the new second series of "Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars USA."
There are more epic adventures in the fourth series of BAFTA-winning audience favorite "Race Across the World," following five intrepid duos across Asia, plus the second series of the celebrity version, which follows four famous faces on a race across South America. Both titles are produced by Studio Lambert for BBC One, UK. Joe Lycett is back for another quartet of mini-breaks in series 13 of "Travel Man: 48 Hours In…" showing his celebrity traveling companions how to get the most out of weekends away in Malaga, Rotterdam, Washington DC, and Malmö, and series 18 of "The Yorkshire Vet" follows all the drama, laughter, and tears at James Herriot’s former veterinary practice.
A line-up of brand-new unscripted formats will make their debut at MIPCOM. New from Studio Lambert, creators of "The Circle," and originally produced for USA Network, "The Anonymous" is a strategic reality competition that sees players competing in two worlds – the real world and anonymous mode. Expect the unexpected in Optomen’s "Bad Boyfriends," as eight unsuspecting bad boyfriends are flown to a paradise destination, only to find that the real purpose of their trip is to whip them into better boyfriend shape – at the behest of their long-suffering girlfriends. The original 12-part versions, hosted by Olivia Attwood, are also available.
From IDTV, creators of "The Traitors," "Turn on the Charm" (originally produced for Net5, Netherlands) delivers a flirty road trip meets reality competition adventure, as 12 single contestants attempt to charm their way to a cash prize. As this latest IDTV format arrives, All3Media International continues to achieve incredible success around the world with the producer’s recent creation "The Traitors." New adaptations - soon to be announced – are about to see the format hitting over 30 local versions globally, and the US version just celebrated its third Primetime Emmy, winning Outstanding Reality Competition Program at the 2024 event. All3Media International is also further expanding the brand with a highly successful merchandising line including a board game, card game, interactive book, as well as apparel wear. "The Traitors" was created and developed by Marc Pos and IDTV Creative Director Jasper Hoogendoorn in cooperation with RTL Creative Unit. Studio Lambert’s real-world adventure format – and BAFTA winner – "Race Across the World" (originally produced for BBC One, UK) now has over 100 episodes produced globally.
Finally, the reality format "The Underdog" – originally produced by Primal Media and GroupM Motion Entertainment for E4, UK – is ready for local adaptation, as is the addictive prime-time quiz "Picture Slam" (originally produced by Triple Brew Media for BBC One, UK), which, following its ratings-winning debut, will soon return for a second series in the UK. Finally, buyers can also secure rights to Studio Lambert’s "Buy It Now," a studio-based format that turns the product pitch into an entertainment performance, with a new "Buy It Now" recently commissioned by Prime Video in the US.
