The London TV Screenings announces an expanded 2025 edition, with the UK’s premier annual distribution event set to run Sunday February 23, to Friday February 28, 2025.

Kicking off The London TV Screenings 2025 is European producer and distributor STUDIOCANAL, with an early Sunday evening showcase at the Ham Yard Hotel. The week will close on Friday afternoon with events held by the four founding distributors, All3Media International, Banijay Entertainment, Fremantle and ITV Studios throughout. All events will span locations across Leicester Square, Soho and Covent Garden.

Along with the four founding distributors, the fifth annual London TV Screenings will see 30+ other companies, collaborate to run free-to-attend, independent events that are expertly curated to give the best experience to buyers worldwide. Attendees will have the opportunity to get exclusive first-looks and ‘deep dives’ into some of the most eagerly-awaited scripted and non-scripted content, including formats, as well as the chance to connect with world-class on- and off-screen talent.

The details of the founding companies’ events are announced today for the first time. Banijay Entertainment will be at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly on Wednesday 26th February with scripted and non-scripted in the morning followed by formats in the afternoon. The subsequent three distributor events will run at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square - ITV Studios Festivals throughout the day on Wednesday 26th February (Formats, Non-Scripted, Drama Festivals), All3Media International on Thursday afternoon, 27th February, and Fremantle (Scripted, Non-Scripted and Formats) on Friday morning, 28th February.

A London TV Screenings spokesperson said: “The London TV Screenings has firmly cemented itself as the leading distribution event in the UK, with last year’s edition seeing a surge in attendance across the capital. To ensure nothing is missed, and to accommodate an ever-expanding schedule, we’re delighted to begin the 2025 Screenings a day earlier, meaning we continue to deliver a high-quality, unmissable and free-to-attend event to the international content community.”

The 2024 Screenings enjoyed a 50% uplift in buyer attendance, some 750+ in total, as well as attracting 29 participating distributors/studios, an increase on the previous year.

The full line-up for London TV Screenings 2025 will be announced in the coming weeks.
