International TV Commission Awards

Zinc Media is pleased to announce several new international TV commissions across its different TV production businesses.  Collectively, the commissions are worth approximately $6 million in revenue to the Group, with the significant majority of the revenue expected to fall in the current financial year.

The London Documentaries division, run by managing director Greg Sanderson, has been awarded its first series for National Geographic.  It has been commissioned to produce a six-part series which is a history themed format which has the potential to become a returnable series.

Following the successful delivery of our film on the Chibok girls in Nigeria, which was a co-production between BBC, HBO and Arte, HBO have also commissioned another international feature documentary from our Documentaries division.

The Specialist Factual division, run by managing director Lucy Van Beek, has also been awarded a five-part National Geographic premium content series that will see the team filming in remote locations across the globe. 

David Galan, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"These commissions serve not only to highlight and reinforce our strategy of securing long-running series but also to demonstrate our continued move into delivering premium content to the International market."
