Toronto-based producer and distributor Tricon Films and Television has sold a slew of scripted series into territories including Sweden, Australia and Taiwan.
At home, Bell Media’s Comedy Network picked up IFC’s scripted comedies Comedy Bang! Bang! and Bunk. Hosted by Scott Aukerman, Comedy Bang! Bang! is a talk show that features unfiltered and improvisational questioning with comedy guests like Seth Rogen, Amy Poehler and Zach Galifianakis. Bunk is a game show where comedians compete in inane challenges to win surreal prizes.
And overseas, Beyond Entertainment took DVD rights for both series in Australia and New Zealand.
Comedy Bang! Bang! was also sold to SBS Australia, SVT Sweden and AV Jest Airways Taiwan, while SBS Australia and A-Team Media Ancillary in Korea picked up Bunk.
Tricon also sold CBC series’ Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays to SVT Sweden and SBS Studio Australia, and Insecurity to Korea’s A-Team Media Ancillary.
The company also struck a host of sales for Sanctuary, including the fourth season to RAI SAT Italy, seasons one and two to Romania’s Antena TV Group and seasons one through four to Pyramid Entertainment in Qatar.
Elsewhere, Sidetick TV in the U.S. picked up House Party, about a young man’s attempts to keep his parents’ house intact during an out-of-control house party.
