Radial Entertainment and ITV Studios have announced a major expansion of their longstanding distribution partnership, encompassing marquee scripted series, an extensive British drama catalog and select unscripted franchises.
The expanded agreement broadens Radial Entertainment’s streaming footprint for the acclaimed dystopian thriller “Snowpiercer” from Tomorrow Studios (an ITV Studios partner). Radial added U.S. AVOD, SVOD and FAST rights to all four seasons on top of its current exclusive TVOD, EST, and physical media rights across the U.S. and Canada.
Radial Entertainment has also retained extensive AVOD, FAST and hybrid SVOD rights to seasons 1- 23 of Gordon Ramsay’s ITV America-produced franchise “Hell’s Kitchen” across the Americas, and seasons 1-6 of the original “Kitchen Nightmares”.
The expanded partnership further provides Radial Entertainment with premiere streaming rights to two limited crime drama series from ITV Studios: “The Gathering” (U.S. only), from World Productions, and the four-part drama series “Finders Keepers” (U.S. and Canada), from Seven Seas Films and Quay Street Productions. Additionally, premiere U.S. and Canadian streaming rights to Michael Sheen’s directorial debut “The Way” were secured in the deal. The new drama was written by James Graham and created by Sheen, Graham and Adam Curtis.
Separately, Radial Entertainment has renewed more than 2,700 hours of drama catalog content, further strengthening its UK library and expanding its offering of international programming.
“This underscores the strength, trust, and long-term nature of our relationship with ITV Studios,” said David Buoymaster, chief investment office and chief content officer of Radial Entertainment. “From the international hit and cult thriller ‘Snowpiercer’ to globally iconic unscripted franchises like ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ and ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ this expanded partnership reflects our shared commitment to provide entertaining content to platforms and audiences at scale.”
Rob Kaplan, SVP, U.S. and Latin America, for ITV Studios, said, “We are thrilled to strengthen our strategic collaboration with Radial Entertainment through this significant expansion of U.S., British and international content. Building on our long-standing relationship, this deal facilitates access to some of the world’s most coveted entertainment franchises and drama series for audiences across the Americas.”
