MIPCOM confirmed
that Keith Le Goy, Chairman of Sony Pictures Television (SPT), will deliver a
keynote conversation at this year’s edition of MIPCOM CANNES, the world’s
largest marketplace for television and streaming content (13–16 October 2025).
The
keynote, staged as a fireside chat, will take place on Monday 13 October at
15:50 in the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals. It forms part of the
"C Suite Conversations" series, organized in partnership with
"Variety", on the market’s opening afternoon.
Le Goy
assumed his current role earlier this year, overseeing all television
production activities, including SPT’s game shows, the global distribution of
Sony Pictures film and TV content across broadcast and home entertainment, and
the studio’s cable networks such as GSN (Game Show Network) in the US, Latin
America, and Europe.
The keynote
comes ahead of SPT’s exclusive opening-night preview of the much-anticipated
dramedy "The Miniature Wife", also scheduled in the Grand Auditorium
on Monday at 18:00 and open to all attendees. The screening will be followed by
a Q&A session with cast members Matthew Macfadyen, O-T Fagbenle, and Sian
Clifford. The series will premiere on Peacock in the US next year, with SPT
managing worldwide distribution.
“Keith Le
Goy is one of the most respected and influential dealmakers in the
international arena,” said Lucy Smith, Director of MIPCOM CANNES. “SPT’s proven
strategy of investing in creative storytelling and taking calculated risks,
combined with the freedom to produce and distribute each series independently,
gives Keith a unique perspective on industry challenges, opportunities, and the
road ahead.”
Produced by
Media Res ("The Morning Show", "Pachinko"), "The
Miniature Wife" is a high-concept dramedy that explores the balance of
power within a marriage. Elizabeth Banks ("The Better Sister") and
Matthew Macfadyen ("Succession”) portray a couple whose relationship is
thrown into chaos after a technological mishap leaves the wife physically
miniaturized. Based on the short story by Manuel Gonzales, the show was created
by Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner ("Boardwalk Empire",
"Goliath"), who also serve as showrunners and executive producers.
