Cineflix Rights

Current mandate

Cineflix Rights is positioning itself as a co-production financier and international distributor for scripted television that combines genre familiarity with a distinctive creative angle. The company's current tentpole is "Hildur," an Icelandic-Finnish crime thriller adapted from Satu Rämö's trilogy, which has sold over one million copies across 22 territories. The series, budgeted at €1 million per episode through a consortium of local broadcasters, a private venture fund, and Cineflix Rights itself, is headlining the company's Mipcom scripted slate and has already attracted strong buyer interest ahead of first pre-sales announcements.

Across its recent acquisition and co-production activity, Cineflix Rights has demonstrated a clear appetite for projects that sit within recognisable genre frameworks but carry a differentiating element, whether tonal, cultural, or IP-driven. The Mipcom lineup also includes the RTÉ/BBC drama "The Walsh Sisters," the Australian crime comedy "Sunny Nights" starring Will Forte and D'Arcy Carden, and the recently acquired title "So Long, Marianne." The company's stated strategy targets projects adapted from exciting IP with first-class talent both in front of and behind the camera, and it enters projects at an early stage to help shape them for global audiences. Its Canadian partnerships remain a core pillar, with executive Felicia Litovitz actively meeting producer partners at Banff to identify new projects for financing and distribution.

Material reaches Cineflix Rights primarily through its established network of co-production and broadcast partners, as well as through market-facing meetings at events such as Banff, Mipcom, and comparable international television markets. The company's executives are publicly active at these forums, and trade coverage consistently shows new projects entering the slate via early-stage co-production arrangements rather than post-completion acquisitions alone. No unsolicited submission pathway is documented; every tracked deal in the ScriptMatch dataset arrived through a producer partner relationship or a market introduction.
