Keshet International To Shop New Form’s ‘Miss 2059’, ‘Mr. Student Body President’, And ‘Cold’ Globally

Global distribution company Keshet International has struck a deal with production outfit New Form Digital to bring three of its high-profile series — including Cold, Mr. Student Body President, and Miss 2059 — to global markets. Keshet will shop the series to buyers at MIPCOM, a Cannes TV trade show slated to kick off later this month, and will seek both linear TV and digital opportunities, according to a release.

“Partnering with Keshet on the international distribution of three of our signature series is a significant step forward for our long-term strategy of creating, producing, and distributing high-quality programs that have wide millennial appeal across multiple viewing platforms around the world,” New Form’s SVP of business development, JC Cangilla, said in a statement. “Keshet is widely respected in the international market as a leader in discovering entertaining new formats, narratives, and talent.”

New Form’s series are currently distributed via go90, Vimeo, Refinery29, Fullscreen, YouTube Red, and CW’s The Seed. “With these three remarkable new series,” said Keshet’s SVP of digital and acquisitions Sebastian Burkhardt, “we now have the unique opportunity to expand their reach beyond the booming U.S. market to both linear TV networks — with reformatted 30- and 60-minutes versions — and OTT services throughout the rest of the world.”

While Mr. Student Body President — a high school politics comedy — and Miss 2059, which is about a beauty queen who must represent humanity in an intergalactic tournament, have already premiered exclusively on go90, Cold is set to debut later this month. That series, starring Annalise Basso, is about a 16-year-old who must find out what really happened to her family after her mother was brutally murdered and her father is imprisoned for the crime.
