Banijay Rights has licensed Workerbee’s true-crime documentary series The Promise: Finding My Mother’s Killer to Hulu in the U.S.
It marks the first deal for the Banijay U.K. label Workerbee series, a three-part true-crime documentary centered around the decades-long quest of Iranian-American Pooneh Entezari. A rags-to-riches story of a daughter who has spent over 30 years working to pursue her mother’s case. Ultimately, Pooneh spent millions of her hard-earned fortune to fund an investigation into the person who killed her mother and to clear her father’s name in the process. The series is produced in association with Advance Originals & Circle M+P.
The deal with Hulu also sees Stan Original drama Invisible Boys head to the streamer. Invisible Boys is a coming of age drama that explores the challenges faced by a group of gay teens in the remote coastal town of Geraldton, Western Australia, after one of them is outed on social media following an encounter with a married man.
