ITV Studios Global Entertainment brings the UK's most successful presenters Ant and Dec to Cannes and unveils rich and diverse MIPCOM 2019 slate
Brand-Defining Drama For All Demos, Breath-Taking Blue Chip Factual and Uniquely Fun and Fast Formats
30 September, 2019 - ITV Studios Global Entertainment (ITVS GE) today announces it will bring the UK's most successful TV presenters, Ant and Dec, to Cannes to share the story of their 29 years in the entertainment industry and, alongside the show's popular host Stephen Mulhern, present the buzzy street-based gameshow In For A Penny to MIPCOM buyers. They will also discuss their dual roles as on-screen talent and creators in the panel BIG TALENT, BIGGER IDEAS with Angela Jain, MD ITV Studios Entertainment and Stephen Mulhern at 2.30 PM on Tuesday 15th October at Esterel level 5, Palais Des Festivals.
ITVS GE also unveils its MIPCOM 2019 slate which spans heart-racing UK and international drama to attention-grabbing non-scripted, and uniquely different formats - bursting with titles that are set to be the most moving, gripping and talked about TV around the world.
DRAMA
The much-anticipated Noughts Crosses, based on the award-winning young adult novel series by Malorie Blackman, headlines the drama slate. A provocative tale of first love set in a dangerous alternate society, it is a powerful story that shines a light on societal issues of race, prejudice and identity. In contrast, the contemporary family drama Flesh and Blood weaves the complex, yet relatable, relationship dynamics of three adult siblings into a thrilling investigation and Sticks and Stones (formerly named The Man) explores the corrosive effects of workplace bullying.
As the leading international producers in the ITV Studios family deliver more new European titles, ITVS GE launches the award-winning Une Belle Histoire - the French adaptation of Big Talk and ITV's global hit Cold Feet, alongside Masantonio and Petra two intriguing Italian procedural crime dramas. Also new is the hit revival of the iconic 90s series Seachange, which has become Australia's number one drama of 2019.
A host of fresh character-driven comedies and comedy dramas also make their debut, including Glass Houses, a humorous yet cautionary tale about the perils of idle gossip, and Zomboat a gorily funny and unique take on the zombie apocalypse. Edgy, authentic and laugh-out-loud comedy Brassic returns with a second season commission, as does the sixth and final season of the universally-adored 2019 Emmy -nominated Schitt's Creek.
NON-SCRIPTED
From nature to human nature, family life to true crime, the ITVS GE non-scripted slate has the real world covered.
Signalling the company's invigorated commitment to wildlife programming India's Wild Karnataka. The exquisite one-hour special is narrated by Sir David Attenborough who describes it as sending a message of hope, not just across India but across the whole world . Another title fronted by a world-renowned star, Judi Dench's Wild Borneo Adventure allows us a sneak peek into the celebrated actress' lifelong passion for nature, and as the world's media turns its attention to Tokyo for next year's Olympics, the beautifully shot Wild Tokyo explores the vast array of wildlife that thrives alongside the city's human residents. Meanwhile, Anatomy of a Wild Fire looks at how these increasingly frequent raging infernos begin and what those on the frontline of the fight can do to stop them.
Closer to home, The Arrival takes an up-close and personal look at one of the most intense and life-changing events for any family - the arrival of a new baby; and named after the radio call sign issued by officers who need urgent assistance, Police Code Zero: Officer Under Attack exposes, examines and empathises with the wide range of dangerous situations that police forces face every day; and Belmarsh Prison sees Ross Kemp enter HMP Belmarsh, the UK's most notorious Category A prison, for an unflinching look at life behind bars.
FORMATS
The global record-breaking and award-winning hit Love Island, which has now been commissioned in 13 territories, once again heads a slate of new and successful returning formats, including Catchpoint, the physical gameshow which has been recommissioned by BBC One and has successfully launched in Hungary; and In For A Penny, the Saturday Night Takeaway feature now a fully-fledged show in its own right, which is returning to ITV for a second series.
Among the new formats being launched are Comedians Giving Lectures, a unique comedy format which guarantees brand new hilarious content every week as three comedians give their own take on an academic lecture, Old Wife, New Wife which examines what happens when an ex-wife moves in with newly-weds to try and resolve old issues, and The Switch a brand new fast, funny and play-along quiz show in which it's easy to win cash but harder to keep it - and the opportunity to win is up for grabs until the very last question of every game.
Completing the new line-up are kids show Project Z, the part structured reality, part gameshow set in an imaginary world where Zombies roam the earth and Embarrassing Pets, which showcases a host of interesting owners and their cherished pets which all have something in common - embarrassing behavioural or health issues.
Ruth Berry, Managing Director of ITV Studios Global Entertainment, said This year's MIPCOM slate is everything you'd expect from ITVS GE and more. From young adult drama, to breath-taking nature programming and fun and fast formats, this is our richest and most diverse slate to date. We recognise that today's audiences want us to challenge their perspectives by providing programming that is creative, memorable and thought-provoking and our new titles
