Ben Packwood, VP Sales

All3Media International has a robust new portfolio of dramas, documentaries, and entertainment formats designed to connect with global audiences this season. The distributor’s latest slate ranges from impactful real-life stories to high-end fiction, reflecting the British company’s distinctive stamp on the international market.

Leading the factual lineup is Michael Jackson: The Trial, a new series produced by the award-winning team at Wonderhood. Across four one-hour episodes, the production re-examines the media frenzy surrounding the music icon’s 2005 trial, offering a deep and contemporary look at the artist’s complicated legacy.

Another standout factual title is The Moonies: Married to the Cult, a 90-minute feature documentary. This production opens a window into one of the world’s most controversial and enigmatic religious movements, exploring how its influence continues to resonate today. Through testimonials and a compelling narrative, the documentary delves into the mechanisms of power, faith, and manipulation surrounding the so-called «Moonies.»

On the fiction front, All3Media International presents Secret Service, an international espionage thriller produced by Potboiler. With a cast led by Gemma Arterton and Rafe Spall, the series combines intrigue, action, and drama, traversing locations including London, Malta, and Finland.

The slate also features Babies, a love story created by two-time BAFTA winner Stefan Golaszewski. Produced by Snowed-In Productions and The Money Men, the series follows Lisa and Stephen—played by Siobhán Cullen and Paapa Essiedu. The drama focuses on a couple in their thirties navigating the pain of miscarriages while sustaining their relationship through humor, warmth, and a deep emotional connection.

In the unscripted format space, the company is pushing The Circle, the hit entertainment format from Studio Lambert. The show poses questions about identity and life in the digital age, as a group of strangers compete for a cash prize by interacting solely through a specially designed social media platform.
