“Adding Cream Productions’ top-tier content to our offering emphasizes our promise to deliver a reliable pipeline of high-quality content,” Solange Attwood, SVP, Blue Ant International said in a statement. The catalogue of  Cream Productions, which focuses on factual productions, includes titles such as Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan and The Weapon Hunter.

This latest deal follows a number of recent moves the media co has made with an eye to expanding globally and into new markets. Last week, Blue Ant announced it has partnered with VOD app developer adRise to bring its free, ad-supported video streaming service Tubi TV to the Canadian market.

Last month, Blue Ant also announced it would make its Love Nature factual channel available for international distribution on both linear and SVOD platforms, with a programming pipeline pipeline that will be fed by Blue Ant’s previously announced commitment to produce 300 hours of original 4K content per year. In June, Blue Ant CEO Michael MacMillan announced at the Banff World Media Festival the company would be launching its Love Nature channel in the U.K. as an OTT TV product, available in app form on Samsung Smart TVs and Android and iOS tablets.
