BACKENTERTAINMENT ONE AND BRAD PEYTON ANNOUNCE ALBEDO STARRING EVANGELINE LILLY FOR BELL MEDIA AND VUDULos Angeles, CA and Toronto, ON (May 1, 2019) Entertainment One (eOne), together with Brad Peyton and Bell Media, today announced an eight-episode series order for a mystery drama titled ALBEDO for Bell Media in Canada, in partnership with Vudu in the US. The show marks a return to television for Golden Globe -nominated actress Evangeline Lilly who will star and executive produce. Writing duo Max and Adam Reid serve as series creators and executive producers. Brad Peyton is also set to direct and executive produce the straight-to-series project that will be internationally distributed by eOne.

One-hundred-fifty years in the future, detective Vivien Coleman is dispatched to the edge of our solar system to investigate a scientist's mysterious death on board an isolated space station. She soon finds herself trapped and cut-off from Earth, along with the station's small crew of brilliant scientists all murder suspects all harboring their own secrets What begins as a classic murder mystery evolves into a fight for survival that may threaten the future of our species.

We are very proud to be working with Vudu as they make their foray into content, alongside our longstanding partners at Bell. eOne is designed to create and deliver content everywhere and that includes helping new buyers into the space, said Pete Micelli, eOne's Chief Strategy Officer, Film & Television. The opportunity to have Evangeline bring Vivien Coleman to life coupled with Brad Peyton's fantastic vision for this series will create a truly epic experience for audiences around the world, added Jocelyn Hamilton, eOne's President - Canada, Television.

Partnering with eOne on this project ensures high-level international engagement, including this new collaboration with Vudu, said Randy Lennox, President, Bell Media. We are delighted to work with the immensely talented Evangeline Lilly and the imaginative Brad Peyton and look forward to adding this compelling unique drama to our programming lineup, continued Mike Cosentino, President, Programming and Content, Bell Media.

Vudu is one of the fastest-growing video on-demand services, and providing exciting original and exclusive programming like Albedo at no cost to our customers is key to our continued growth, says Julian Franco, Senior Director, Product Management, Vudu. With an incredible team bringing this series to life, including actress Evangeline Lilly, I can't wait for Vudu viewers to be thrilled when they tune in. New programming efforts like this will delight audiences and allow Vudu to offer a unique value proposition to brand partners and advertisers.

Evangeline Lilly won a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2006 and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 2007 for her role in LOST. She most recently reprised her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with box office record-shattering AVENGERS: ENDGAME. Lilly's extensive roster of work also includes the upcoming film DREAMLAND and past films such as LITTLE EVIL, THE HOBBIT and THE HURT LOCKER.

Max and Adam Reid are best known for most recently producing and writing Amazon Prime Video series, SNEAKY PETE, and the eOne pilot for YouTube Premium, DARK CARGO, executive produced by Ben Stiller and Nicky Weinstock.

Brad Peyton's work includes films such as RAMPAGE and the Netflix and Discovery Canada series FRONTIER.

In development at Bell Media since 2016 and expected to begin pre-production in May, ALBEDO is the latest international original drama from Canada's leading content creation company. The series will be presented exclusively in Canada on Bell Media platforms.

Vudu is an ad-supported, Internet-based home entertainment service that provides access to a library of movies, images, television shows, artwork, and/or other episodic content. Its services can be accessed through computers, mobile devices, and Internet-capable televisions, as well as proprietary devices manufactured by the company and third-party devices. Vudu Inc. is a subsidiary of Walmart.

ALBEDO is produced by eOne in association with Bell Media, and the participation of the Canada Media Fund, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and the Province of British Columbia Production Services Tax Credit.

Lilly is repped by UTA and Silver Lining Entertainment. Max and Adam Reid are repped by WME, The Cartel and Suzanne DePoe. Brad Peyton is repped by CAA and The Character's Talent Agency.
