PBS Distribution has picked up the U.S. rights to two new dramas from All3Media International: Trespasses and I Fought the Law.

Ahead of the London TV Screenings, Banijay Rights has closed a deal that brings seasons one and two of the Bergerac reboot, commissioned by U and U&DRAMA, to PBS in the U.S.

Germaine Sweet has been promoted to head of content acquisitions and sales at PBS Distribution as Joe Barrett prepares to retire.

Buyers at PBS Distribution's London TV Screenings event will be able to hear from Bettany Hughes, Lynn Novick, and Dan Chambers as the distributor showcases Vikings: First Blood, Crime and Punishment in America, and Mystery of the First Temple.

PBS's NOVA and France Télévisions are on board as co-pro partners on Blink Films' Göbekli Tepe: Mystery of the First Temple, which has also secured a presale to SBS in Australia.
