Crime-solving cafe owner Kerry Godliman in Whitstable Pearl
UK distributor Cineflix Rights has unveiled a slate of scripted and factual content for next week’s Digital MipTV, led by crime drama Whitstable Pearl.
Six-part procedural Whitstable Pearl stars Kerry Godliman (Derek, After Life) as a crime-solving cafe owner. It is produced by Cineflix-owned Buccaneer Media for Acorn TV, the AMC Networks-owned platform hosting UK content for a foreign audience.
Another crime offering is Rebecca (8×60’), a French series made locally by Elephant for French broadcaster TF1. Based on Cineflix’s ITV series Marcella, which has run since 2016, the show sees Parisian police officer Rebecca return to the force after six years away, only to find that her previous target is also back.
