National Geographic Channels in the UK and Ireland has picked up Go Button Media-produced factual series Secret Nazi Science from London-based distributor Cineflix Rights.
The 8×60′ show, which originally aired on Super Channel in Canada, reveals how the Nazis commandeered Germany’s top scientists to work around the clock as they attempted to win the Second World War.
Toronto-based Go Button Media has announced that Super Channel in Canada has commissioned its new historical docuseries, Secret Nazi Expeditions, with Cineflix Rights on board as its international distribution partner with a focus on pre-sales.
The 6 x 60-minute series focuses on the work of an elite team of Nazi scientists who searched the far reaches of the globe for ancient artifacts alleged to possess mystical powers in the name of Hitler’s regime.
“Super Channel has been an incredibly supportive broadcaster to our business this year, so we couldn’t be more pleased to move into production with them on this second history series,” Daniel Oron, Go Button Media’s co-founder and series executive producer, said in a release. “We are also thrilled to be working with Cineflix Rights for the first time. The team was extremely enthusiastic about this new series from the first conversation and, given Cineflix’s impressive track record and extensive international network, I have every confidence that Secret Nazi Expeditions will soon find a raft of excellent homes across the world.”
Secret Nazi Expeditions is set to begin production soon. It’s Go Button’s second Super Channel Fuse Original commission this year, following the World War Two series Forgotten Frontlines (6 x 60 minutes), co-commissioned by SBS Australia and Off The Fence.
