AMC Networks has acquired the acclaimed series Mix Tape, a Foxtel Group commission for Binge, from Boat Rocker Studios for AMC+ and Acorn TV.
AMC Networks has secured the exclusive streaming rights to the series in the U.S., and co-exclusive rights in Canada, where the drama is also available on CBC Gem. Set between 1989 and the present day, the winner of the 2025 SXSW TV Spotlight Audience Award stars Teresa Palmer and Jim Sturgess. The four-parter was produced by Subotica and Aquarius Films, in association with Boat Rocker Studios, for Foxtel. AMC+ and Acorn TV launch the series in 2026.
Brad Horvath, VP of content sales and distribution at Boat Rocker Studios, brokered the deal with Don Klees, SVP of programming at Acorn TV.
“Mix Tape is a smart, nostalgic series that captures how music, memory and connection shape us,” said Horvath. “It’s got a great cast, killer soundtrack, and a love story that stays with you—all paired with the central question of what really happened between Alison and Daniel. We’re excited to partner with AMC Networks to share it with U.S. audiences.”
“Mix Tape is the kind of sophisticated storytelling our viewers appreciate and is the perfect addition to both AMC+ and Acorn TV’s lineup of distinctive international dramas,” said Klees. “We’re thrilled to offer this award-winning series exclusively to our U.S. subscribers.”
Since landing on Binge this summer, the series has sold to CBC Gem, Movistar Plus+, RTV Slovenia, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, RTÉ, Pickbox NOW and Pickbox TV and MTV3 in Finland.
Mix Tape, written by Jo Spain and directed by Lucy Gaffy, is adapted from the novel by Jane Sanderson. It received major production investment from the Foxtel Group in association with Screen Australia and Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland. It was financed with support from the Finnish Impact Film Fund, Screen NSW’s Made in NSW Fund, and The Post Lounge.
