Blue Ant Studios has announced the sale of rights for seasons 1-3 of investigative history series Mysteries from Above (30 x 60’, Blue Ant Studios) to A+E Global Media’s HISTORY(r) Channel in the U.S.. Announced at Banff World Media Festival, the deal demonstrates the studio’s commitment to exporting their Canadian productions to the U.S. market and globally.
“This sale is a true reflection of Blue Ant Studios’ commitment to showcasing premium Canadian content on a global scale,” says Mark Bishop, Co-President, Blue Ant Studios. “Our continued dedication to exporting homegrown titles is key to helping cement Canada’s position as a leader in our industry, and we’re excited to be doing so by expanding our existing partnership with A+E.”
The series sets out to investigate significant historic and contemporary sites from above with drone, satellite, and aerial photography.
