MUMBAI: Infotainment broadcaster National Geographic Channels International’s (NGCI) London-based global content hub has announced greenlights for a new 10 part series and two new feature-length specials, all airing this April in over 170 countries and in 45 languages.
For a global audience hooked on the characters and dangers encountered in the fishing community, NGCI has picked up ‘Cold Water Gold’ from Passion Distribution in the UK.
The tense, ten-part series explores the harsh conditions fishermen in Canada’s Newfoundland contend with in a region dubbed “Iceberg Alley”.
Shifting gears for two new feature-length specials, NGCI partnered with London-based Drive for ‘Rebuilding Noah’s Ark’, in which a team unearths antediluvian instructions and sets about rebuilding the famous Biblical vessel.
Going back to similarly ancient times before zipping through history and into the future, ‘Mankind From Space’ takes a 12,000 year journey through space to see how humans have changed the course of history and the face of the earth.
This global celebration of humanity comes from a deal with Endemol Worldwide Distribution.
NGCI executive VP, head of international content Hamish Mykura said, “NGCI continues to find success with audiences who identify with and respond to colourful characters in specialized fields so we’re very excited to be adding Cold Water Gold to our series line-up.
Our two new feature-length exclusives are representative of the specialty programming NGCI is renowned for, with big, engaging stories that resonate with viewers of all ages.”
