Banijay brings combined All3Media catalogue to Mipcom 2026
Banijay Entertainment will shop its catalogue as a combined group with All3Media for the first time at Mipcom 2026.
Mipcom is the international TV market in Cannes where channels, streamers and producers buy and sell shows and show ideas. Banijay’s base there, in front of the steps of the Palais des Festivals, will be called Banijay House, according to Variety.
The outing follows Banijay Group’s announcement in 2026 that Banijay Entertainment and All3Media would combine, subject to customary regulatory approvals. Banijay Entertainment chairman Jeff Zucker and chief executive Marco Bassetti are also set to headline a Mipcom Cannes 2026 keynote, according to Mipcom’s programme notes.
The sales operation is led by Cathy Payne, chief executive of Banijay Rights. She is joined on content by James Townley, chief content officer for development, and Lucas Green, chief content officer for operations.
Scripted drama leads the new sales slate. The company will present Reputation, a BBC legal thriller starring Naomie Harris and Christina Hendricks. The series is bound for BBC One and BBC iPlayer and comes from The Forge Entertainment.
In Reputation, Harris plays a lawyer hired to represent international pop star Davina Knight, played by Hendricks. The case pulls both women into a wider legal fight.
Another thriller on the list is Maya, a high-stakes U.K. drama headlined by Tobias Menzies. The project is described as one of Starz’s latest moves into British drama.
Netflix buyers will see several Banijay-backed launches. They include Beat Luke Littler from Workerbee, Will You Marry Me?, co-produced by Workerbee and Initial, Simon Says from Bunim/Murray Productions, and Monopoly from Studio Lambert. Further Netflix titles are House of Guinness from Kudos and Legends, co-produced by Tannadice Pictures and Lion Television.
Unscripted formats, meaning show ideas that broadcasters can remake locally, sit together under one roof. The offering includes The Traitors, Survivor, Fear Factor and The Circle.
New ideas join them. Banijay has unveiled Date Knight, a dating reality format that mixes dating, role play and fantasy in what is described as a romantasy world, according to Variety and Senal News. It will be offered to buyers at Mipcom as new intellectual property, meaning an original idea not yet remade in other markets.
The back catalogue travels too. Evergreens, meaning long-running and returning titles available for new sales, include Rogue Heroes, A Remarkable Place to Die, A Woman of Substance, Bergerac, Midsomer Murders and The Assassin.
For viewers at home, none of this decides what gets commissioned next. It decides what is on the shelf. A sale in Cannes keeps a writers’ room open, keeps a crew of two hundred in work, and decides whether a story gets finished.
