Key shows

Secret Stories of the Museums – Uncovers intriguing stories of museum objects, their conservation, and unexpected origins, as professionals reveal rare collections and tales from artists, journeys, characters and social contexts.

The Push – During a weekend getaway to Edinburgh’s iconic ‘Arthur’s Seat,’ the joyous celebration of a young couple turns tragic as Fawziyah Javed, a 31-year-old lawyer and expectant mother, fatally plunges from the rocky summit, unveiling darker details that hint at a potential murder in the picturesque setting.

Key Genres: Factual, factual entertainment.

Strategy: BossaNova says its strategy is to “hold our nerve and stick to the carefully crafted three-pronged plan,” which involves building up existing franchises such as Borderforce USA, Highway Cops and Dog Patrol, birthing new ones such as Secrets of the Lost Liners and “watching and waiting” for docs and limited series like The Infinite Deep and The Push. This liberates and declutters the team’s objectives, according to the company, fully focusing sales efforts.
