Ahead of the fireside chat, on Monday 16th October, BBC Studios will be bringing the hit international primetime entertainment format from Magnum Media, The 1% Club, to life with a one-off experience for Cannes delegates. The exclusive play-along game will take place in the Hi5 Studio from 9.45 -11:00 CET with buyers seeing if they have what it takes to join The 1% Club for themselves.
Alongside the in-person events, BBC Studios will be presenting a curated slate of premium titles to international buyers across all genres. Several titles from the extensive catalogue are represented across awards ceremonies taking place throughout MIPCOM, including 8 nominations at TBI’s Content Innovation Awards and 3 nominations at the MIPCOM CANNES Diversify TV Awards.
Titles across the Scripted slate include:
Moonage Pictures modern adaptation of Enid Blyton’s much-loved children’s classic The Famous Five which is co-created and executive produced by world renowned writer, director and producer Nicolas Winding Refn and co-produced with ZDF in Germany.
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder adapted from Holly Jackson’s global bestselling mystery thrillers for the BBC and ZDFneo, and also produced by Moonage Pictures, sees Wednesday star Emma Myers as the insatiably smart, slightly square heroine Pip Fitz-Amobi unravelling the case of a murdered schoolgirl.
Jimmy McGovern’s highly anticipated second series of Time, produced by BBC Studios Drama in co-production with BritBox North America, follows the BAFTA winning original series with a new story told through the lens of three very different inmates, offering a moving and high-stakes portrayal of life inside a women’s prison. The series stars Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who, Broadchurch), Tamara Lawrance (The Silent Twins, The Long Song), Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us, His Dark Materials) and Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Downton Abbey).
Truelove for Channel 4 from Clerkenwell Films, the team behind BAFTA award-winning series The End Of The F***ing World and Somewhere Boy, delivers a unique and uncompromising thriller with twist and turns, irreverent humour and passionate romance, led by a mature ensemble cast.
The adaptation of Lucy Clarke’s bestselling thriller, The Castaways, commissioned by Paramount+, finds Erin (Celine Buckens - Showtrial, Warhorse) searching for her missing sister Lori (Sheridan Smith - Mrs Biggs, The C Word) after her island-hopping plane crashes whilst they’re on the holiday of a lifetime in Fiji. As dark secrets are revealed both in the past and present day, each shocking twist and turn slowly reveals the truth about what happened, a truth that someone on the island will kill to keep secret.
