GRB Studios has inked a raft of deals for its celebrity-driven factual programming at MIPCOM.
The one-hour documentary Remembering Whitney, which celebrates the legacy of the six-time Grammy winner and features footage of interviews with the pop icon, concerts, private home videos and candid insights from her family, has sold to Globosat in Brazil.
The round table interview series Close Up with The Hollywood Reporter featuring A-list stars and directors such as Tom Hanks, Guillermo del Toro, Emma Stone, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Matt Damon was picked up by NBCU Latin America and MNET in South Africa.
RTL in the Netherlands acquired the docuseries Irreconcilable Differences, which sheds light on the inner workings of Hollywood’s most controversial breakups—from Caitlyn Jenner and Kris Kardashian, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and others.
Sarah Coursey, GRB Studios’ senior VP of international, said: “GRB is thrilled to provide compelling, celebrity-driven content to broadcasters across the globe, keeping audiences updated on the most current and exciting news and perspectives from the world’s biggest stars. Buyers looking for intriguing and in-depth stories and interviews featuring Hollywood A-Listers are consistently turning to GRB to entertain their audiences.”
