Following a successful year, ABC Commercial is returning to the Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) to showcase an exciting new slate of content, featuring beloved favourites and compelling new additions.
ABC Commercial leads the ATF lineup with Ladies in Black, a vibrant drama series that explores the lives and friendships of women navigating personal and professional challenges in 1960’s Sydney. Joining this dynamic slate are fresh titles for kids and families, including Ready, Steady, Wiggle! Season 7, Fizzy & Suds Season 2, and the much-anticipated Muster Dogs Season 3, which continues the heartwarming journey of graziers and their pups with a competitive twist.
Returning to the lineup is the popular puppet-based preschool series Beep and Mort, back for its second season after strong international reception. This season promises more heartfelt adventures and continues its global reach, having been acquired by major international platforms, including WildBrain Television (Canada) and Sky Kids (UK), with additional plans for distribution in the Middle East and North Africa.
In factual programming, Living with Devils delivers a deep dive into Tasmania’s iconic but endangered marsupial, while Restoration Australia returns with stories of preserving Australia’s rich architectural heritage and creating spectacular homes. Additionally, Megafauna narrated by Hugh Jackman offers an exploration of Australia’s prehistoric giants, appealing to science and history enthusiasts alike.
For co-viewing and educational content, Secret Science unravels the secrets behind our brains and bodies through science, emerging research and entertaining human stories, and I Was Actually There is a bold new factual series that has already made waves with Broadcast UK selecting it as one of the Hot Picks ahead of MIPCOM, provides historical insights from those who witnessed pivotal moments firsthand.
ABC Commercial Sales Executive Alex Zhou, who is attending ATF, said, ‘Our 2024 slate reflects the ABC’s commitment to providing entertaining, educational, and globally resonant content. These new titles underscore our dedication to captivating storytelling across genres’.
