The brand-new adaptation of A Woman of Substance for Channel 4, part of Banijay Rights’ London TV Screenings lineup, has been acquired by BritBox for North America, Foxtel and BINGE in Australia, and a raft of other broadcasters and platforms.
Produced by The Forge, the adaptation of the Barbara Taylor Bradford novel has landed several deals ahead of Banijay Entertainment’s London TV Screenings event on Wednesday.
In a deal brokered by Matt Creasey, EVP of sales, acquisitions and coproductions for Banijay Rights, the series has been acquired by BritBox in North America. “BritBox is the perfect North American home for this bold new adaptation of Barbara Taylor Bradford’s classic story, which follows Emma Harte’s extraordinary rags-to-riches journey,” Creasey said. “We’re in no doubt this premium drama will captivate global audiences in what has been an incredible sales effort from the Banijay Rights team.”
Other deals include with Foxtel and BINGE in Australia, TVNZ, NPO, Cellcom TV Plus in Israel, COSMOTE TV in Greece, and RUV in Iceland.
