Sky in Germany has picked up a 16-hour true-crime package, headlined by The Killer Clown: Murder on The Doorstep, from London-based content creation, funding and distribution company BossaNova Media.

The 3×60′ miniseries comes from UK indie Flicker Productions and revisits a creepy case that gripped the US in the early 1990s – the murder of a young wife and mother on the doorstep of her Florida home by a clown bearing balloons and flowers.

The latest BossaNova Original true crime project, it was acquired by Sky for its UK subscribers earlier this year.

Sky in Germany has also acquired season three of Rare TV’s Cold Case Killers, originally commissioned by the UK’s 5STAR.

The 8×60′ series features gripping UK murder investigations that ran cold but were eventually cracked by dedicated and determined detectives.

Also headed for Germany are CJZ’s four-part documentary Con Girl, which chronicles the stranger-than-fiction story of serial con-woman Samantha Azzopardi, and The Ripper Speaks, produced by Content Kings/Green Rock for 5, in which the psychopath dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper talks for the first time about his horrific crimes.

It is one of numerous deals closed by Paul Heaney’s BossaNova Media, with the sales totalling more than 95 hours of premium content and brokered by head of sales Tatiana Grinkevich.

AMC Iberia has invested in four of BossaNova’s best-selling true-crime titles, including The Killer Clown.

The deal also covers The Cannibal Next Door (1×60′), originally produced for 5 by Future Studios; The Chameleon: The Killing of Ronald Platt (1×60’/1×90′), a twisted tale of murder, money and stolen identities; and BossaNova original The Flight Attendant Murders (4×60′), again produced by Flicker.

In CEE, Hearst Networks Romania has picked up all five seasons of Worldmark Films’ Caught on Dashcam, which features mind-boggling road incidents filmed by motorists around the world.

Polsat has also acquired several history titles, including ITN Productions’ one-hour special MH17: The Plane Crash that Shook the World, commissioned by Channel 4 to mark the 10th anniversary of the destruction of the Malaysian Airlines flight MH17.

The Polsat deal also includes AMS Pictures’ The Infinite Deep: Stories of Lost Submarines (1×60’/1×90′) and Perpetual Entertainment’s Greatest Escapes of World War 2 (6×60′).

Grinkevich said: “There’s surging demand across Europe for big, bold, channel-defining crime and history titles but relatively few producers and distributors are able to deliver these shows to the right editorial brief and at the right price.

“Happily for BossaNova, that’s exactly the space we occupy with our premium documentaries like The Killer Clown, The Flight Attendant Murders and MH17: The Plane Crash that Shook the World. And as these latest deals demonstrate, it seems to be an approach that works for Europe’s buyers.”
