Keshet International
Keshet International is actively taking its supernatural drama Nutuk to Mipcom buyers while a local adaptation of its children's format Master Class moves into production in Cyprus.
Current mandate
Keshet International is currently positioning itself across three distinct content lanes. First, the company is introducing Nutuk, a supernatural drama built around reincarnation as both emotional engine and investigative narrative device, to international buyers at Mipcom. Executives describe the concept as having "global resonance" given that reincarnation is a belief system relevant to more than two billion people worldwide. Nutuk was originally greenlit by Keshet Broadcasting in 2022 as part of an eight-scripted-show slate; titles from that same slate, including A Body that Works, Trust No One, and Save the Date, have since been picked up by Netflix, establishing a track record for the broader library. Second, Keshet International is actively seeking international buyers for Reset, a scripted romantic comedy-drama format it describes as "highly-adaptable" and built to "travel in local markets." Third, the company's format catalogue is generating active adaptation orders: Alpha Cyprus has ordered a local adaptation of the children's music talent show Master Class, retitled Music School, with the deal recorded in late June 2026.
Sellers and producers seeking representation should note that Keshet International operates as the international distribution and format licensing arm of Keshet Broadcasting, handling finished tape sales of Israeli originals alongside co-production and adaptation rights for international partners. The company's current slate reflects a deliberate mix of high-concept scripted drama and proven unscripted formats, with a clear appetite for partners who can execute local-language versions in their home territories.

- Access pattern
- The primary access point for Keshet International is its active Mipcom presence, where the sales team is currently meeting buyers for Nutuk and Reset. With 24 tracked decision makers spanning international sales, format licensing, and co-production, the company supports multiple entry points depending on deal type. Format adaptation inquiries, as demonstrated by the Alpha Cyprus Master Class order, can be initiated outside of market windows. Sellers and co-production partners should lead with territory-specific proposals and local-language adaptation rationale, consistent with the company's stated positioning around formats that "travel in local markets."
- Deal structure
- Keshet International transacts across two primary structures. The first is finished tape sales of Israeli originals, where the company licenses completed series to broadcasters and streaming platforms internationally; Netflix acquisitions of multiple titles from the Keshet Broadcasting 2022 slate illustrate this lane. The second is format licensing and local adaptation, where international broadcasters acquire rights to produce local-language versions; the Alpha Cyprus order for Master Class as Music School is the most recent confirmed example. Co-production arrangements are also within scope, particularly for scripted projects seeking international development partners. Budget terms are not publicly disclosed on recent deals.

Common questions about Keshet International
What films and series does Keshet International currently represent?
Keshet International's active slate includes Nutuk, a supernatural drama in which reincarnation drives both the emotional narrative and a suspenseful investigation story, currently being introduced to buyers at Mipcom. The company also represents Reset, a scripted romantic comedy-drama positioned as a highly-adaptable format. Its broader library draws from Keshet Broadcasting's Israeli originals, including titles from a 2022 eight-scripted-show slate. The children's music talent format Master Class is also actively licensed, with a local adaptation ordered by Alpha Cyprus as Music School.
Does Keshet International do pre-sales or only finished tape?
Keshet International handles both finished tape sales of Israeli originals and international co-productions and adaptations. The Master Class deal with Alpha Cyprus is a format adaptation order, demonstrating active pre-production licensing activity. For scripted drama such as Nutuk, the company is presenting finished or near-finished content to international buyers at markets including Mipcom. Producers with projects at an earlier stage should approach with co-production or format adaptation framing rather than expecting a straight finished-tape transaction.
Which markets and festivals does Keshet International attend?
Mipcom is confirmed as an active market for Keshet International, where the company is currently introducing Nutuk to international buyers. Given its mandate covering international rights across finished tape and format licensing, the company is expected to maintain a presence at major television markets. Activity metrics show 21 total records over the past 12 months and a latest signal dated late June 2026, indicating consistent year-round market engagement rather than a single-event strategy.
How do I reach Keshet International to pitch or license content?
Keshet International operates as the international distribution and format licensing arm of Keshet Broadcasting. The company has 24 decision makers tracked across international sales, format licensing, and co-production functions. The most direct access pathway is through its market presence at Mipcom, where the team is actively meeting buyers for Nutuk and Reset. Producers and distributors seeking representation or format licensing deals should approach with territory-specific proposals, as the company explicitly frames its formats as designed to travel in local markets.
What are Keshet International's strongest territories for sales?
Keshet International operates with an international mandate, and its recent activity reflects broad territorial reach. The Alpha Cyprus adaptation order for Master Class as Music School points to active engagement in smaller European markets. The Netflix pickups of A Body that Works, Trust No One, and Save the Date from the same Keshet Broadcasting slate indicate strong traction with global streaming platforms. For Nutuk, executives cite a potential audience of more than two billion people who relate to reincarnation, suggesting the company is targeting both Western and Asian territories.
Is Keshet International actively acquiring or only selling?
Keshet International's primary function is outbound sales and format licensing rather than acquisition. Current activity confirms the company is actively selling: it is introducing Nutuk to buyers at Mipcom, seeking international buyers for Reset, and has recently closed a format adaptation deal with Alpha Cyprus for Master Class. With a deal velocity of 5 over the past 30 days and 21 total records in the past 12 months, the company is operating at consistent commercial pace. Inbound pitches are most relevant when framed as co-production or local adaptation opportunities.
