Wild Bunch TV announced its 3 new event series: the RTS’s humanitarian thriller Crisis Unit, the new Radio-Canada’s original psychological thriller Fragile and the RTL2 coming-of-age teen show We are now, all headlining Wild Bunch TV’s slate to be launched during MIPCOM 2020 and MIA 2020.

These 3 series are brand new, recently completed, and ready to broadcast, and appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Crisis Unit is a humanitarian thriller that tackles questions of social responsibility and the underworld of ONG’s and Fragile is a Gemeaux-awarded off-beat Canadian show.

This remarkable trio completes an already powerful and appealing slate for Wild Bunch TV, including Albatros, VRT’s latest Original just recently completed and premiering in spring 2021.
