Parade Media secure rights to Demolition NZ

UK-based distributor Parade Media has secured global distribution rights to the New Zealand factual series Demolition NZ.

“We’re thrilled to have secured this series with its winning combination of great action and great characters, which will only get stronger in future seasons”- Mark Caulton, CCO of Parade Media

Demolition NZ, a ten-episode series, is produced by Broadcast Media for Prime TV and takes viewers behind the security fence and into the hidden world of demolition. The production follows a cast of character-filled crews working across New Zealand’s largest demolition sites, including action from its quake-damaged regions, and featuring some of the country’s biggest controlled explosions.

Demolition NZ has already sold to Viasat Explore across CEE and Scandinavia as well as Prima Zoom in the Czech Republic and production on a second season is already underway.

Based in London, Miami, Sydney and Singapore, Parade has, since launch in 2015, built a library of more than 1600 hours of premium factual programming and has produced over 50 hours of original content.

“There’s so much coming down, down-under it’s no wonder New Zealand’s known as the land of the long white cloud.” – Jeff Hampton, Series producer of Broadcast Media
