ITV Studios has unveiled its full content lineup for Mipcom 2025, spotlighting a robust slate of premium scripted and non-scripted titles alongside bold entertainment formats.
Ruth Berry, Managing Director of Global Partnerships and President of Zoo55 at ITV Studios, stated: “Our Mipcom slate is built for global appeal, spanning everything from bold formats with mischievous fun to high-stakes premium drama and compelling non-scripted titles. This exceptional depth and diversity allows us to deliver world-class stories and showcase leading actors and presenters that will resonate with partners around the world.”
Among the key titles leading the entertainment front is “Celebrity Sabotage” (6x60), produced by Lifted Entertainment for ITV, from the creators of hits like “Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway” and “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”. In this show, celebrity saboteurs attempt to derail contestants in a reality game show setting. Another standout format is “Nobody’s Fool” (5x60), co-produced by Lifted Entertainment and Nobody’s Hero, a competitive quiz show driven by strategy and deception within a “Smart House” environment.
The slate also includes “Worlds Apart” (5x60) by South Shore, premiering October 7 on Channel 4, and “Time is Money” (25x60 for ITV), a fast-paced quiz format. ITV America contributes “Love Island: Beyond the Villa” (8x60) for Peacock, which set a record as the platform’s highest-ever unscripted original premiere, generating 77 million impressions across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, and Facebook in its first week.
On the drama side, “Frauds” (6x60), produced by Monumental Television in association with ITV Studios and TeamAkers, is set to premiere October 5. The series stars Suranne Jones and Jodie Whittaker as con artists involved in an art heist in southern Spain. Also on the slate is “A Taste for Murder” (6x60) from Eagle Eye Drama, a crime procedural with a culinary twist set on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, and the spy thriller “Betrayal” (4x60) from Mammoth Screen, featuring Shaun Evans as an embattled MI5 agent.
ITV Studios is also behind “Two Weeks in August” (8x60), from Various Artists Limited for the BBC. Set during a holiday-turned-nightmare, it stars Jessica Raine, Nicholas Pinnock, and Antonia Thomas. The drama explores emotional and psychological unraveling when tensions and secrets explode in a trapped paradise setting.
The non-scripted slate features “Operation Dark Phone: Murder By Text” (4x60), produced by The Garden for Channel 4. The series, from the makers of “24 Hours in Police Custody,” provides an in-depth look into a major global law enforcement operation. It has already been acquired by Seven Network (Australia), SVT (Sweden), DRTV (Denmark), NRK (Norway), YLE (Finland), and DPG Media (Netherlands and Luxembourg).
Natural history content also figures prominently, with “Extreme Earth” (6x60) by Plimsoll Productions, produced over three years for ITV and ARD Group Germany, and “Secret Garden” (5x60) for BBC and ARTE, which brings the hidden wildlife of backyards into focus. “Ages of Ice” (3x60) from Northern Pictures, commissioned by PBS and ABC Australia, explores Earth’s coldest frontiers through the lens of a new generation of explorers.
The studio’s delegation in Cannes includes high-profile talents such as Emily Atack (“Rivals,” “Nobody’s Fool”), Judi Love (“Celebrity Sabotage”), Warren Brown (“The Gathering”), Shaun Evans (“Betrayal”), and Jodie Whittaker and Elizabeth Berrington from “Frauds,” underlining ITV Studios’ commitment to global storytelling and premium talent partnerships.
