Reaching more remote places, Beta has also closed Mongolia with Hulegu Media, on “Sisi” a mix of sex, politics and period glam from RTL, Beta and Story House, a modern mindset take on a film icon.
In further banner title deals when it comes to far-flung lands,“Hotel Portofino” – escribed as “a high-profile, classy affair” by The Times, the period drama, toplining Natascha McElhone as a hotel owner on a swish 1926 Italian Riviera – has now been sold by Beta to New Zealand and South Africa.
The deals come as Beta has also sold Seychelles public broadcaster “My Little Sister,” produced by Vega. Botswana BTV has acquired over 200 hours of content topped by Andie MacDowell-starrer “Cedar Cove,” from Orchard Road and the Hallmark Channel.
The Seychelles, Botswana or Mongolia don’t normally make headlines. In fact, they don’t normally make sales lists at all. But their sales carries larger point.
These series haven’t just travelled to the four corners of the earth, they’ve sold massively to major clients. “Atlantic Crossing” has closed 75 territories, among them U.S/Canada (PBS Masterpiece), Australia (SBS), Italy (Rai), Spain (Movistar Plus+), Germany (NDR/Magenta TV Telekom), Austria (ORF) and Israel (HOT).
