This month’s C21 Marketplace Hot Properties playlist offers 19 new titles for buyers to enjoy, including a returning hit medical drama, a gritty murder mystery set in the heat of Southern France and a portrait of a much-loved film director.

A couple of returning dramas head this month’s list of shows to watch. First comes ITV Studios’ ratings-winning medical thriller Malpractice, once again delving into a case of suspected medical negligence. Then there’s All3Media International’s The Ex-Wife. Tasha is on the run and living off-grid with her daughter in Cyprus, while Jen is set to walk down the aisle again. When Jack is released early from prison, this taut psychological thriller finds them all caught in a tangled web of lies.

Elsewhere we have StudioCanal’s The Embers. Created by award winner Thomas Bidegain and set in the incendiary heat of Southern France, it is a gritty crime thriller and murder mystery unfolding across two different timelines. Meanwhile, in Murderesses, from Viaplay Content Distribution, rising police officer Karolina delves deep to uncover her missing ex-cop father’s fate, stumbling upon treacherous family shadows and a corrupt police scheme. As she battles against toxic masculinity, shocking revelations about her father emerge.

On a more light-hearted note, Banijay Entertainment’s Just Act Normal is a comedy drama about three stubbornly optimistic siblings with a dark secret. When their mother disappears, they will do anything to keep it quiet so they can stay together as a family. But as feistily resilient and fiercely loyal as they are, can they really outwit the authorities and carry on with life under the radar?

Then there’s Happiness from DCD Rights. After working his way to the top of the musical theatre world, Charlie unexpectedly ends up back helping his mother at the local community theatre, Pizazz, where he inadvertently finds himself challenging the leadership and upsetting everyone. As Pizazz’s new musical hurtles towards opening night, Charlie must find a way to make the best show without destroying everyone’s Happiness.

Cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and have their young raised by them. But it’s not only birds that engage in this sort of behaviour in Fuji Television Network’s My Precious – humans do too. Also from Japan, Tokai Television Broadcasting Company’s The Hidden Heroes tells the story of a man who conveys the significance of supporting others through the sport of baseball.

Based on books by international bestselling author Chris Hammer, the second season of Scrublands is titled Scrublands: Silver. From Sphere Abacus, it features returning characters including Martin (Luke Arnold) and Mandy (Bella Heathcote).

Finally, two Holmes are better than one in Federation Studios’ Sherlock & Daughter.

For those seeking factual and format fodder comes season three of Muster Dogs. Border collies and Kelpies face off in the latest season of ABC Commercial’s smash hit series.

Meanwhile, couples matched by experts are marooned on a desert island and left to fend for themselves for three weeks in Seven.One Studios International’s Stranded on Honeymoon Island. Will the experience lead to love or loathing?

Brave expats are on a mission to resurrect the ghost towns of Europe in Cineflix Rights’ Help! We Bought a Village. Viewers join in the supersize renovation adventures as these back-to-the-village champions transform sprawling ruins into beautiful homes and thriving businesses.

Meanwhile, season five of Autentic Distribution’s popular long-running, adrenaline-fuelled series What Went Wrong dives deep into six recent catastrophes, including deadly maritime disasters, engineering failures and climate-related tragedies.

StudioFact Rights’ Pedro Almodovar, the Rascal of La Mancha presents a bold portrait of the fearless auteur who revolutionised Spanish cinema. From taboo-breaking stories to vibrant post-Franco expression, this film explores how his artistic defiance became a symbol of freedom, and why, in today’s Spain, remembering that legacy is more vital than ever.

It’s the legal battle that all of Hollywood is talking about. Blake Lively has accused It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni of sexual misconduct on set, and he has countersued for defamation. Follow the twists and turns of this scandalous battle in Blue Ant Media’s He Said, She Said: Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni.

Finally, from the creators of American Idol, Sony Pictures Television’s So You Think You Can Dance has been an epic success around the world, becoming the ultimate dance competition.

For the kids we have the Australian Children’s Television Foundation’s Windcatcher, which finds 10-year-old Percy Boy Collins and his eclectic crew of friends outsmarting a gang of bullies to triumph at their school’s athletics carnival. Then there’s The Mindful Adventures of Unicorn Island, from Cake, helping children everywhere better understand and manage their emotions, equipping and empowering them with the lifelong skill of mindfulness.

That’s all for this month, stay tuned for more Hot Properties throughout the year!
