Property Brothers builds global sales

MIPCOM: Lifestyle franchise Property Brothers has expanded its global footprint, with multiple international buyers licensing the latest show from Cineflix Rights in Cannes today.

Property Brothers: Forever Home

Property Brothers: Forever Home (40×60’) is produced by Scott Brothers Entertainment for cable channel HGTV in the US and Canada.

The largest deal is with Discovery Networks for its channels in Asia, Benelux, Latin America, New Zealand, the Nordics and Spain. Other sales include Foxtel in Australia, UKTV, Sky Italia, SIC in Portugal, RTL in Croatia, Platforma Canal+ in Poland and Talit in Israel.

The new show in the franchise, 300 episodes of which have already been sold into 160-plus territories since it launched in 2011, sees Drew and Jonathan Scott help couples to transform their houses into forever homes.

Earlier this year Canada’s Cineflix Media struck a distribution and production agreement with Scott Brothers Entertainment, with its London-based sales arm, Cineflix Rights, taking global distribution rights to the current 40×60′ instalments, excluding the US and English-speaking Canada.
