All3Media-owned Little Dot Studios in the UK has acquired over 200 hours of content from US-based factual streamer Curiosity Stream for its online channels.

The licensing deal includes titles such as Besieged Fortresses: Battle of Legend (4×52′), Queens of Ancient Egypt (3×50′) and Putin & The Oligarchs (1×44′).

The deal also includes series and specials on topics such as science, engineering and natural history.

Ludo Dufour, VP of licensing at Curiosity, said: “This collaboration enables Curiosity to leverage Little Dot’s extensive digital network and FAST channels, enhancing our global reach and the impact of our premium content.

“Thanks to this partnership, our evergreen, globally appealing, and high-quality productions will connect with new audiences and further our mission to enlighten, entertain, and inspire viewers around the world.”
