Fifth Season & Roku Extend Distribution Pact For ‘Morimoto’s Sushi Master’ And More Into Lat Am & Canada
Fifth Season and Roku are extending their international unscripted pact into Canada and Latin America.
Programs included at that time were, among others, Jessica Alba and Lizzy Mathis’ Honest Renovations, survivalist competition Fight to Survive, Morimoto’s Sushi Master, the Sofia Vergara-exec produced Celebrity Family Food Battle, Jay Brewer’s Reptile Royalty and The Cupcake Guys, which features football stars turned bakers Brian “Rak” Orakpo and Michael “Griff” Griffin. Prentiss Fraser, President of TV Distribution at Fifth Season, said: “Since the start of our partnership with Roku, we’ve had significant interest from buyers internationally in this slate – who are drawn to these elevated and aspirational shows fronted by some of the biggest household names in Hollywood. As we build on the strong start of our collaboration with our first wave of sales, it’s a testament to the success of this partnership that Roku is already expanding our territory rights into Canada alongside Latin America – a major market we as Fifth Season are significantly deepening our presence in.”
