The London TV Screenings isn’t going anywhere.
The content and sales market, launched five years ago by independent distribution giants All3Media International, Banijay Entertainment, Fremantle and ITV Studios, is coming off a banner 2025, with a record 850 buyers worldwide attending last week’s event.
The founders confirmed plans are already under way for next year’s edition, which will be held in the final week of February 2026.
London has quickly established itself as the must-attend spring market for the international TV industry and slipped nicely into the gap left by the demise of long-running Cannes-based event MIPTV. The 2025 line-up included more than 35 distributors and studios running independent events. Alongside the four organizers, London featured a who’s who of studio and independents including Warner Bros. International Television Production, Disney, NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution, Sony Pictures Television, Paramount Global Content Distribution, Amazon MGM Studios Distribution, Cineflix Rights, Fifth Season, Studiocanal and Beta Film.
“The showcase is now a go-to destination for unparalleled insights into the latest premium shows and formats,” said a London Screenings representative. “We look forward to planning an exceptional event for 2026 – which will be tailored to the feedback we’ve heard from buyers and their experiences across the week.”
2025 event highlights included the return of Andrew Lincoln to British TV. The Walking Dead star took the stage at the ITV Studios presentation to unveil his upcoming Brit thriller Cold Water. Fremantle pitched its new adventure tale Sandokan featuring Turkish star Can Yaman, Banijay Entertainment showcased Maigret, a modern-day update of the iconic French detective novels, and All3Media International launched action thriller The Assassin, starring Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore.
Other standouts included Cineflix Rights’ Sunny Nights, the new series from Colin from Accounts showrunner Trent O’Donnell starring Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden; and Studiocanal’s A Prophet, a small-screen reimagining of Jacques Audiard’s iconic 2009 prison drama.
On the non-fiction and format side, Banijay launched its new docuseries 7/7: The London Bombings and reality dating challenge 30 Dates and 30 Nights; All3Media pitched knockout competition Chess Masters, Fremantle introduced its gameshow reimagining of Scrabble; and ITV Studios showcased Celebrity Sabotage, a prime-time hidden camera prank show.
