The MIP List is a curated list of new shows that are hitting the global market at MIPCOM this year. Check out what’s making waves, and why they’re sked-worthy. MIPCOM runs from October 16 to 19 in Cannes, France.
Established as a VOD distributor in 2009, Toronto’s Syndicado has since released more than 1,500 feature docs and unscripted series internationally across the major streamers — from Apple TV+ and Prime Video to Peacock and Pluto TV, and any number in between. The company began theatrical distribution across North America in 2014, and today has a catalog of more than 2,500 hours of broadcast series, docs and award-winning features.
Syndicado works with sales agents and distributors, releasing new and library titles to major streaming partners. It also works directly with independent producers from Canada, the U.S., UK and Australia, helping to finance, pre-sell and distribute projects to major partners in their respective markets, as well as internationally.
In 2022, Syndicado expanded to financing, pre-sales and all-rights distribution to focus on English-language unscripted entertainment for international broadcasters and streamers. The company is offering a line-up of new true crime and history series, plus a slate of development projects in the true crime, history and paranormal genre for broadcast and VOD sales at MIPCOM 2023.
Wild Assassins
The world’s most deadly animals have their own weapons to help them survive in the wild, from camouflaging cuttlefish and hidden hippos to ferocious great white sharks and venomous spiders and snakes. Wild Assassins takes you on a journey through land, sea and sky to showcase the cunning killers who live there, and how they get their next meal… or avoid becoming one. (8 x 45 minutes)

Raiders of the Lost Scroll
Award-winning journalist and archaeologist Simcha Jacobovici embarks on a mission to find an ancient scroll from the time of Moses that is said to contain the original Ten Commandments. In this epic adventure, Jacobovici makes discoveries about enigmatic biblical figures such as Mary Magdalene and Saint Paul, all leading him to his most profound discovery to date. (1 x 90 minutes)

Finally Caught
While homicide cold cases leave loved ones with unanswered questions, killers run free thinking they’ve gotten away with murder. Whether it’s due to botched investigations, lack of evidence or science not evolving fast enough, these unfinished tales leave us all demanding justice. Finally Caught investigates these cold cases to ensure the killers are apprehended. (26 x 42 minutes)

Family in the Wild
Filmmaker Kim Wolhuter, wife Saskia and two-year-old daughter Kiki are a family like no other. They live in the middle of the Sango Wildlife Conservancy in Zimbabwe, home to a vast number of amazing animals, including lion, buffalo, leopard, rhino and elephant. In Family in the Wild, Wolhuter documents his family’s relationships with these incredible animals. (3 x 8 x 24 minutes)
