MED.TV, an ad-supported channel celebrating the Mediterranean, is adding two new original series to its lineup: Into the Med and Mediterranean Kitchen.
Both series are produced by Malta-based Med Media Services and are currently in production for June. Another four series have been greenlit and in preproduction for Q4: Architectures of the Mediterranean, Made in Med, Medset, and Med Leaders.
The channel launched last year, delivering original and acquired docs, travel and culinary series, movies, concerts, and more. Available on Rakuten TV since February, it is also delivered as a broadcast service via Eutelsat’s Hotbird satellite and as a FAST and streaming channel reaches more than 300 million homes across EMEA.
“Original programming is central to how we are building MED.TV as a distinctive global brand,” said Manolo Mantovani, COO of Med Media Services. “It allows us to move beyond aggregation and create content that reflects the Mediterranean with authenticity—through its people, industries, and creative communities. At the same time, these series are designed to travel, giving us premium IP that strengthens both our editorial identity and our international distribution strategy.”
