With the launch of ITVX she has commissioned a selection of premium documentary boxsets and singles, these include: a three-part contemporary true crime series called ‘The Other Mrs Jordan’, a two-part series revealing the truth behind con artist Belle Gibson: The Search for Instagram’s Worst Con Artist and singles: The Real Fatal Attraction, Dwarf Story and feature length film ‘It’s Showtime!’
Attendees were treated to in-depth information about each commissioner’s focus and what they are currently looking for.
