Global distributor Fremantle has secured multiple sales in Asia for the CTV original drama series Sullivan’s Crossing.

The series was acquired by Singapore-based Rewind Networks’ channel Hits Now for a pan-regional release, in addition to PCCW Media’s streaming service ViuTVsix in Hong Kong, and Mediacorp’s Channel 5 in Singapore.

Sullivan’s Crossing is executive produced by L.A. and Vancouver-based Reel World Management in association with CTV and Fremantle.

Fremantle handles international distribution for the series, which is based on a five-novel series from U.S. author Robyn Carr, and produced by Halifax’s Mike Volpe and Toronto’s Mark Gingras.

Quebecor Content

Quebecor Content has pre-bought the fourth season of murder mystery My Life is Murder from U.K.-based distributor DCD Rights ahead of the London Screenings.

My Life Is Murder, a Greenstone Pictures MLIM Production for TVNZ, Acorn TV and DCD Rights, stars Lucy Lawless as a private investigator. The New Zealand dramedy first premiered in 2019.

The series has also been pre-sold to YLE Finland, TV2 Denmark, Yes-DBS Israel, ProFour Media Distribution for Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia, and NBCUniversal International Networks and Direct-To-Consumer for Universal TV in Africa, 13ÈME RUE in France and CALLE 13 Spain.

Amuz Distribution

Amuz Distribution has inked deals for two Quebec music specials, Le Grand Concert de la SuperFrancoFête and the Celine Dion tribute Pour Toi Céline.

French broadcaster TV5Monde has acquired Le Grand Concert de la SuperFrancoFête, which features twenty artists representing ten countries from the French-speaking world. The concert was filmed live at Quebec City in August 2023.

Switzerland’s RTS has acquired Pour Toi Céline, which was filmed in September 2023 and features fifteen Francophonie performers recreating songs from Dion’s album D’Eux and other titles. Both specials will be broadcast in spring.

Triller TV

U.S. streaming service TrillerTV has partnered with Roku to launch its ad-supported FAST channel Fite by Triller 24/7 on the AVOD service in Canada.

The expansion is a natural step for the streaming service, as Canada “has been the third largest global market for TrillerTV’s subscription and pay-per-view business,” according to Louis Lewow, TrillerTV’s VP of distribution.

In Canada, TrillerTV’s FAST channel is also offered on LocalNow, Sports.TV, Plex, Distro TV and Zingo TV.
