Description

I'm looking for: Natural History: on most of our buyers agenda; True crime: there's a strong appetite for crime that is binge-worthy, for series with a different angle or hook that feels high quality, or that focuses on a high profile case; One off documentaries: high-end stories in sports, music, crime - but the subject matter should be known worldwide such as Framing Britney Spears; Wonders of manufacturing and/or engineering: we have seen a continued uptake on our older series in this space, so an absolute need for more; History: When told in a new and inspiring way, possibly with new evidence or findings, history as a genre becomes popular again. Egypt or WW2 related is still popular; Adventure shows: the format Alone continues to travel, and broadcasters are looking for series where humans are being pushed to the limit; Luxury Space; be it hotels (Claridges), homes or places (Inside Monaco/Dubai) or brands; Uplifting/Feel Good/Makeover shows and home renovations: trends that is always relatable to people and have ongoing popularity (shows such as Repair Shop, Sewing Bee for example); Male skewed border control shows; Is there a possibility of a new take on Bondi Beach? NB: Each pitch session lasts fifteen minutes and consists of producers pitching their project to industry buyers and receiving immediate constructive feedback.
