Vanished History (10×60’, Shark Teeth Films for Bell Media, Canada), an investigative approach to unlock some of the most enigmatic mysteries of all time has sold to Foxtel (Australia), RTL (Germany), Mediaset (Italy), Discovery (Iberia), and Hearst Networks for Benelux and Africa.

SBS (Australia), Société Radio-Canada (SRC, French Canada), Foxtel (Australia), and Creo South Korea have all acquired Commando Missions (4×60’, Galaxie Presse for Canal+, France) which recounts daring top-secret operations behind enemy lines, as part of the Allies’ bold strategy to attack Hitler’s Reich. The latest deals follow sales to Hearst Networks (UK, Benelux, CEE, Middle East and Africa), and Czech TV.

Cape Carnage: Killer Catch (10×60’, McAvoy Media for Seven Network Australia, UKTV, TVNZ) which follows the Davey family, who make a living from one of the most dangerous and remote jobs on earth: hand-line fishing in the treacherous waters of northern Australia, has been acquired by National Geographic Channel (US), and Viasat World for Scandinavia and Central and Eastern Europe.

Sandra Piha, SVP Sales, Pan-Regional, UK, Eire, and Scandinavia Cineflix Rights said: “World War II documentaries which shed new light on military strategies and operations remain consistently popular with audiences, and we’re also seeing a lot of demand from buyers for ‘history mystery’ content. We’re delighted to have closed deals for two of our newest titles from this genre, along with the latest series from our long-term partners McAvoy Media, who are adept at delivering long-running successful franchises for networks worldwide.”
