As the London Screenings commence, Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) has revealed the key titles to be presented at its Showcase event this Thursday, February 26th. The new slate spans from courtroom dramas to classroom-based comedy, alongside fresh iterations of successful reality and dating franchises.

Among the new formats is "See You in Court", produced by Wall to Wall for Channel 4. This fixed-rig series follows claimants and defendants as they resolve serious legal disputes in a single day, supported by barristers and independent arbitrators. Meanwhile, "Class Clowns" (WBITVP Australia for ABC) features comedians returning to school to compete in classic academic and physical activities overseen by a playful Principal.

The distributor is also expanding its reality portfolio with "Reality Queens of the Jungle: Family Edition" from WBITVP Netherlands, which introduces family members into the survival competition. Additionally, the "FBoy Island" universe grows with "FBoy Survival" (produced by Fox6 Media for Discovery India), a series that moves the social experiment from a luxury island to a harsh desert environment to test the sincerity of the contestants.

In the factual category, WBITVP is launching two premium specials. "Artemis" (1 x 60’) provides unparalleled access to NASA’s Artemis II Moon mission, while "L.S. Lowry: The Unheard Tapes" (1 x 60’) uses restored audio recordings of the famous artist, with actor Ian McKellen lip-syncing to Lowry’s own words.

André Renaud, WBITVP’s GVP of Format and Finished Sales comments: "We are delighted to be back at London Screenings this year to showcase the best of our formats – as well as selected finished programmes – to our broadcast, streaming and production partners from around the world. This spring’s slate reflects our continued commitment to strong storytelling and fresh, distinctive ideas. From high-stakes reality and innovative entertainment to premium factual specials with extraordinary access, expect a few surprises, too, as we share a broad range of content designed to create conversation and deliver real impact."
