Rainmaker Content, the international distributor specialising in drama, factual and special event programming, has today confirmed it has been appointed as the international distributor for TIME100, marking the first time the one-hour television event has been available to worldwide audiences outside of the United States.

Returning to ABC in the US for the second year in a row on Monday, Sept. 20 at 10:00 p.m. ET, TIME100 will celebrate the individuals on the 2021 list with exclusive interviews, in-depth profiles, marquee musical performances, honorary tributes, a history of the iconic TIME100 list, and surprise appearances from previous honorees. 

In 2020, TIME100 featured musical performances from Halsey, Jennifer Hudson and The Weeknd, alongside appearances from Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Trevor Noah, Sandra Oh, John Legend, Kumail Nanjiani and many more.

The full 2021 TIME100 list, which features surprising pairings of the list members and the guest contributors TIME selects to write about them, multiple worldwide covers and exclusive photography and video packages will go live on Time.com on Wednesday, September 15 and will be available in print on newsstands beginning Friday, September 17.

Vicky Ryan, co-founder and director of Rainmaker comments, “We are extremely pleased that our long-held experience and knowledge of distributing high-end event programming has enabled us to be selected to represent TIME100 on the global stage.  This unique event promises to be a headline-making, star-studded broadcast filled with music, emotional profiles and inspirational moments which, particularly during these difficult times, will remind us all of the power and benefits of influence.”
