Cineflix Rights launches London TV Screenings 2026 slate
18 February 2026: Cineflix Rights has unveiled its slate for London TV Screenings 2026, featuring an upcoming USA Network procedural crime drama set against a spectacular national park backdrop; documentaries spanning history, mystery, adventure, and one of the world’s biggest performance brands; market leading true crime; and the latest offerings from its most popular franchises.
Leading the distributor’s scripted slate is Anna Pigeon (10×60’, Cineflix, December Films and SEVEN24 Films for USA Network in association with Bell Media). Based on the best-selling novels by Nevada Barr, and starring Tracy Spiridakos (Chicago PD), the series follows the former city slicker who becomes a park ranger after a devastating loss changes the trajectory of her life forever. While Anna tries to outrun her demons, her focus turns to solving crimes that have taken place within national park grounds, no matter who or what gets in her way.
Other hit series include The Walsh Sisters, the heartwarming drama about five Irish sisters bound by love, history, and a tendency to self-destruct, and based on the best-selling novels of Marian Keyes, which launches on BBC1 this month; gripping Nordic Blue crime thriller Hildur, the landmark series for Siminn and Nelonen, which embraces the themes of family, friendships, humour, and the power of love; and Sunny Nights, the darkly comedic crime drama directed and executive produced by Trent O’Donnell (Colin from Accounts, Hacks) starring Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden, which premieres in the US on Hulu next month after launching to rave reviews on Stan.
Cineflix Rights’ new factual lineup includes:
Cirque Life (5×60’, Cineflix for CBC, Canada) offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at one of the most celebrated shows from the global performance brand Cirque du Soleil. The series follows the cast and crew of smash hit LUZIA, capturing every triumph and challenge as performers and crew tackle up to ten gruelling shows a week during an epic four-month run, showcasing the exceptional talent, commitment, and courage it takes to be part of the team.
Château DIY: Win the Dream (20×60’, Spark Media Partners for Channel 4, UK) is the follow-up to the hit global franchise, this time with a competition element as 12 starry-eyed couples battle it out for the ultimate life-changing prize—the keys to their very own fairytale French château.
Property Brothers: Under Pressure (14×60’, Scott Brothers Entertainment for HGTV, US and Canada)
chronicles maxed-out home buyers, guided by Drew and Jonathan Scott, as they face the biggest purchase of their lives—and the overwhelming high-stakes decisions that test more than just their finances in today’s turbo-charged housing market.
War Trains (8×60, Go Button Media for Super Channel, Canada) uncovers how trains shaped global warfare—from battlefield logistics to covert operations—across conflicts spanning the American Revolution, World Wars, and the Cold War. Featuring archive, expert insight, and cutting‑edge CGI, this high‑end factual series reveals how trains evolved from vulnerable early machines into armoured, tactical weapons of war.
Deep Water Secrets (8×60’, Cream Productions for Hearst Networks, UK and EMEA) plunges into the vast, uncharted frontier beneath the waves, revealing the unexplained mysteries hidden within the largely unexplored depths of the world’s oceans. Using state-of-the art graphics and never-before-seen footage, leading experts examine the cases of rare creatures of unexplained origin, and mysterious structures and objects on the seabed.
The Great Icelandic Swim with Ross Edgley (3×60’, Big Wave Productions for Channel 4, UK) follows world-record-holding ultra-athlete Ross Edgley, as he takes on his most extreme challenge yet: to become the first person to swim 1,000 miles around Iceland.
Kings of Coke (3×90, C3 Media and Urbania Media for Crave, Canada) is a three-part cinematic trilogy, that traces how Montreal—a city best known as a carefree party capital—became ground zero for one of North America’s most formidable criminal empires.
Featuring the never-before-heard confession tapes of homicidal dentist Colin Howell, Confessions of a
Killer (2×60’, Below the Radar for BBC One, UK), chronicles the double murder that rocked a close-knit community in Northern Ireland and captivated a nation.
These latest titles join returning seasons of long-running factual brands including ratings hit Inside Taronga Zoo, Help! We Bought a Village, The Yorkshire Auction House, Richard Hammond’s Workshop, and Ambulance: Code Red.
