Meanwhile, SBS, RTL in the Netherlands, TV2 in Denmark and TV2 in Norway have acquired South Shore Productions’ 2×60’ docuseries Eat Smart: Secrets of the Glucose Goddess. Commissioned by the UK’s Channel 4, the show follows biochemist Jessie Inchauspé on a mission to help people improve their health by controlling their blood sugar levels.

In Canada, Corus Entertainment has picked up 120 hours of Freeform Productions’ property-search series A Place in the Sun for its Home Network. The long-running series is produced for Channel 4 in the UK.
