Autentic has commissioned from Go Button Media the new series Engineering Marvels and a second season of Secrets of Ancient Structures.
Engineering Marvels is a six-part series on contemporary engineering achievements using CGI, archive, and expert contributors. Secrets of Ancient Structures returns with six episodes on some of history’s most extraordinary buildings and monuments with experts, archive material, and CGI reconstructions. The latest commissions extend a long-running collaboration between the companies that has included Secrets of Cold War Ruins, The Animal Within, Milestones of the Solar System, A Cold War of Spies and Colossal Machines.
Daniel Oron, co-founder and executive producer at Go Button Media, commented, “We’re inspired to be continuing our relationship with Autentic through two new series that really play to our strengths as factual storytellers with a fascination for engineering challenges. The new series take us into the world of extraordinary human achievement, from our recent past as well as ancient history, examining the ingenuity behind different structures and technologies that have changed our lives. Both series are packed with fascinating discoveries, compelling stories and spectacular visuals, and we’re delighted that Autentic shares our enthusiastic commitment to bringing them to audiences across the globe.”
Mirjam Strasser, director of sales and acquisitions at Autentic, added, “These two new commissions are a fantastic addition to our growing factual slate and continue to demonstrate the strength of our ongoing partnership with Go Button Media. Engineering Marvels offers a fresh and compelling perspective on some of the world’s most impressive construction achievements, while the return of Secrets of Ancient Structures allows us to build on an established series with a wealth of extraordinary stories still to tell. Both have the combination of strong storytelling, fascinating subject matter and international appeal that audiences are looking for.”
Autentic has worldwide distribution rights, excluding Canada, to both series, expected to be delivered in 2027.
