    WARSAW: Series and films produced by Poland’s public broadcaster TVP are being sold worldwide to territories including Estonia, Latvia, China and Korea.

    The TVP sales office informed FNE that Estonian TV is set to produce the third season of The Ranch, a hit format created and produced by ATM for TVP since 2006. The Estonian broadcaster bought the format from TVP after it had become TVP’s most popular title ever for four consecutive seasons. TVP has commissioned the ninth season of the show set to premiere in 2015.

    Chinese public television bought screening rights to two documentaries coproduced by TVP: Kochani recywidyści (Belowed Recividists) directed by Irena and Jerzy Morawski, coproduced by TVP and Peny TV in 2013; and Jestes wojownikiem (You Are A Warrior) directed by Anna Więckowska, coproduced by TVP and Faster Piotr Matuszewski in 2012. A paid-per-view channel in South Korea will add the Tango of the Pope, a documentary directed by Krzysztof Tadej and produced by TVP.

    The Scottish local station STS bought the second season of a hit TVP war drama series Time of Honour and signed a contract stating that they are first in line to buy the third season of the production.
