MONTREAL – Quebecor Content has sold Vol 920 in Italy and Australia.
The deals follow the sale of Mensonges in France and Germany, and of the Un sur Deux format in Poland, a move that confirms the appetite for Québec television titles in international markets, the company said.
Vol 920 takes 20 adventure-seeking singles on a round-the-world backpacking trip in the hopes of finding their soul mate. Italian production company Magnolia TV has acquired the Vol 920 format and will produce its own version of the program that will begin airing in April. In Australia, the SBS production company will present the Québec version of season 1 of Vol 920 on the SBS2 channel. The program will air with English subtitles from March 21 to May 30.
The Italian and Australian deals were made by the Israeli company Armoza Formats on behalf of TVA Distribution, the international distributor of the format and the series.
"We are very pleased to be able to bring another Québec production to the international scene," said Quebecor Content SVP France Lauzière, in the news release. "It is a testament to the immense talent of our creators and artists, who can compete with the best in the world."
