NBCUniversal Global Distributor has struck an old school multi-year content deal in Europe’s Baltic region. NBCU’s sales arm has struck a wide-ranging set of agreements with TV3 Group for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
This will encompass first-run and library films and scripted shows, animated series, Telemundo’s ‘Super Series’, TV movies and direct-to-vide films, and unscripted shows.
Studios output deals like this have become increasingly rare in the era of global streaming services and local original programs so the deal is a boon for NBCU.
The Comcast-owned distributor has worked with TV3 in the past but the agreement is understood to be on a far greater scale. Included in the agreement are the Jurassic, Bourne and Fast film franchises, animated films such as Abominable and Trolls; and other titles such as Belfast, Nope and BlacKkKlansman, plus current series La Brea, Chicago Fire, Law & Order, Young Rock and Devils, plus library titles such as Downton Abbey, Below Deck and The Titan Games, and animated shows including Dragons: Race to the Edge and All Hail King Julien.
