MEDIA RELEASE: Cineflix Rights partners with True North TV on Help! We Bought A Village

Cineflix Rights has extended its partnership with leading UK production company True North to become the exclusive worldwide distribution partner for long-running hit brand Help! We Bought A Village.

Help! We Bought A Village (Seasons 1-3, 80×60’, True North for Channel 4, UK), follows couples and families as they restore abandoned villages across Europe. Faced with a seemingly impossible task, with the help of locals, these intrepid property developers have seized a growing opportunity to transform sprawling ruins into beautiful homes and thriving businesses through these supersize renovation adventures.

Following the deal to acquire Help! We Bought A Village, Cineflix Rights is now the home for three of Channel 4’s most popular lifestyle franchises, as the exclusive worldwide distribution partner for A New Life in the Sun (True North) and Château DIY (Spark Media Partners).

Catherine McCormick, VP Acquisitions, Cineflix Rights who brokered the deal said: “We are thrilled to be extending our partnership with True North to now include another of their hit shows, Help! We Bought A Village, alongside A New Life in the Sun. Cineflix Rights is home to the UK’s most successful daytime factual franchises, allowing us to offer global buyers hundreds of hours of quality, high-performing brands to keep audiences locked in and loyal.”

Norma Wisnevitz, CEO, Truth North added: “We originally partnered with Cineflix Rights due to their proven track record with long-running returning television brands globally. It’s been a great success, and we’re therefore pleased to work with them on another brand to take out to the international market.”
