Fifth Season has secured a slate of international sales for both seasons of the detective thriller Sight Unseen, starring the fresh talent Dolly Lewis, Agam Darshi (DMZ), Jarod Joseph (Coded), and Daniel Gillies (The Originals).
Among the new buyers are Channel 5 and Paramount+ in the UK & Ireland, which have acquired both seasons, each consisting of 10 hour-long episodes. Other international sales include Play Media (Belgium), AXN Asia (pan-regional), Nine Network (Australia), yes (Israel), Disney Bulgaria, Action Channel (Japan), and Talpa TV (Netherlands). Additionally, season one has been sold to Warner Bros. Discovery (New Zealand) and Disney Middle East.
The series follows Tess Avery, a top homicide detective forced to step down after nearly shooting her partner and being diagnosed as clinically blind. Reluctantly, she connects with Sunny Patel, an agoraphobic professional guide. With Sunny as her remote seeing-eye partner, Tess returns to track down dangerous killers as a civilian consultant.
Created by Karen Troubetzkoy (Killjoys) and Nikolijne Troubetzkoy (Skymed), Sight Unseen is produced by Blink49 Studios, a Fifth Season-backed company, and Front Street Pictures, in association with Sisters Troubetzkoy Productions. The crime drama is produced for CTV in Canada and The CW in the U.S.
“It’s great to be bringing another show from our partners at Blink49 to broadcasters all around the world,” said Jennifer Ebell, EVP of Television Distribution at Fifth Season. “Sight Unseen is a fresh take on the crime genre, with a female lead who is sight impaired and authentically cast at its centre. Crime procedurals continue to have strong global appeal, and this series delivers with smart twists on a bankable genre.”
