MEDIA RELEASE: Cineflix Rights partners with Cream Productions on Deep Water Secrets

Eight-part series presold to Hearst Networks UK and EMEA

Realscreen, Miami, 2 February 2026: Cineflix Rights has partnered with Canada’s Cream Productions to co-finance and produce Deep Water Secrets, a thrilling investigation of history’s most baffling aquatic mysteries, from legendary sea-creatures to unexplained natural anomalies, sunken cities and lost monuments. A presale for the eight-part series is already signed with Hearst Networks UK and EMEA.

Deep Water Secrets (8×60’, Cream Productions) plunges into the vast, uncharted frontier beneath the waves, revealing the unexplained mysteries hidden within the 95% of the world’s oceans which have remained largely unexplored. Using cutting-edge technology and never-before-seen footage, scientists historians and other experts examine the cases of rare creatures of unexplained origin—ensnared in fishing nets or washed ashore on remote beaches—from the Tasmanian Globster to the Montauk Monster as well as better known species such as the Giant Squid, and Frilled Shark, and alleged sightings of the supposedly extinct Megalodon.

Deep Water Secrets also investigates some of history’s most enduring underwater enigmas including the Lake Michigan Stonehenge, a structure that predates even Stonehenge itself, alongside age-old myths surrounding the Lost City of Atlantis, alien craft at the bottom of the ocean, and the Bermuda Triangle.

Cineflix Rights has also acquired worldwide distribution rights to the second season of Cream’s An Optimist’s Guide to the Planet with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (6×60’, a Canada-United Kingdom coproduction produced by Cream Productions and Wildfire Television, in association with Bloomberg (US) and Bell Media (Canada), and in association with Ill Kippers Aps, which sees actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) criss-cross the globe exploring the delicate relationship and challenges of protecting biodiversity while meeting the needs of living in a modern world.  Cineflix Rights has sold the first season to broadcasters and streamers including: DR (Denmark), YLE (Finland), and (Australia) AMC Multicanal Iberia, and TV3 Group Baltics.

The deal with Cream reflects Cineflix Rights’ successful strategy of providing the financing to help North American producers bridge worldwide financing gaps and get their projects into production. This includes a 60-hour slate deal with Go Button Media to greenlight six factual series for Super Channel, two of which have sold to National Geographic International; partnering with Law&Crime Productions on series such as Murder Uncut, Killer Cases, and Cult Justice; and financing Ancient Bodies: Secrets Revealed from Farpoint Films and Mysterious Islands from Shark Teeth Films.

Felicia Litovitz, VP, Acquisitions, North America, Cineflix Rights said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Cream to get this exciting new series into production, with a presale already in the bag with Hearst Networks for the UK and EMEA.  Cream has a great track record of creating and delivering high quality content with strong international appeal, with An Optimist’s Guide to the Planet, History of the Sitcom and The Story of Late Night all selling well. We are looking forward to taking Deep Water Secrets out to buyers, starting at the London TV Screenings later this month.”

David Brady, co-Founder and CEO, Cream Productions added: “For many years, we at Cream have trusted Cineflix Rights to take our products to market. Their successes have led us to a new level of coproduction relationship, and we are thrilled to be producing and distributing Deep Water Secrets – the first of many in the new model – with them.”
