Toronto-based prodco Go Button Media is extending its partnership with international distributor Off the Fence (OTF) and Canadian pay-TV network Super Channel with a new deal that will see Go Button deliver six further factual series over a two-year period.
The deal follows on from the success that OTF and Super Channel enjoyed with Go Button’s recent factual title, the WWII docuseries Forgotten Frontlines. Under the terms of the agreement, Go Button will produce six series (totaling 36 hours of content) across the unscripted genres that it specializes in, including history, paranormal, engineering and science.
“Super Channel has long been a supporter of Go Button’s projects, and we are elated to be making new programs for its audience on our home turf, said Go Button Media co-founder and executive producer Daniel Oron (pictured). “In addition, following a previous project, we are especially thrilled to extend and deepen our relationship with Off the Fence, creating a range of new factual content for this dynamic company to take to broadcasters and platforms around the world.”
“Forgotten Frontlines worked very well for us last year, so we are now keen to replicate and scale that success across our key content pillars of ‘Yesterday, ‘Today’ and ‘Tomorrow,” added OTF head of acquisitions Loren Baxter. “This new partnership, alongside Super Channel, will not only give us six new series to sell, but, as a commissioner, we also have a fantastic opportunity to work closely with Daniel and the team to marry Go Button’s creative ideas with our own market insights and ensure each series readily meets current international demand.”
