In a significant non-scripted deal covering four continents, recently launched direct-to-consumer streaming service discovery+ has announced a high-volume, multi-territory subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) deal with leading independent distributor all3media International.
In addition to exclusive original titles, discovery+ features top non-fiction content from all3, Warner Bros., A&E, The HISTORY Channel and Lifetime, as well as exclusive streaming access to the largest collection of natural history content from the BBC. The new deal will see more than 250 hours of premium non-scripted content features in the acquisition, including Race Across the World (pictured), Naked Attraction, The Undateables and titles from all3media International’s Gordon Ramsay portfolio.
Both seasons (15 x 60’ in total) of Studio Lambert’s hit adventure BAFTA-winning series Race Across the World have been picked up in the new contract, with SVOD rights signed for North America, India, Italy and Spain. Both seasons are now streaming on discovery+.
In addition, all four seasons (40 x 60’ in total) of dating series Naked Attraction, also from Studio Lambert, will be available on discovery+ later this year in North America, and are currently available across multiple international markets, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Poland and the Netherlands, with additional territories to come. Original, local versions of the format also premiered in Italy and Finland, with another set to launch in Norway on discovery+.
Subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) rights to 11 series – a total of 45 episodes – of Betty’s award-winning The Undateables have been signed for North America, launching later in 2021 on discovery+. The deal also covers North American SVOD rights to overhours of content from all3media International’s Gordon Ramsay portfolio. Titles include two high-octane cooking competitions – Culinary Genius (UK) and five seasons of The F Word (UK) – as well as six seasons of Kitchen Nightmares, two seasons of Gordon Ramsay’s Great Escape and three documentaries: Gordon Ramsay Behind Bars, Gordon Ramsay: Shark Bait and Gordon Ramsay On Cocaine. All titles are now streaming on discovery+, with the exception of Gordon Ramsay On Cocaine, which is set to launch later this year.
