Newly formed production company Spiderlight Films is launching Ice Patrol at Mipcom this month under a deal with Passion Distribution.
The 6 x 60-minute series for Five is the indie's first project and will take the viewer on a journey to the Antarctic on board HMS Endurance, the only Antarctic patrol ship that can endure the conditions and break through the ice. The series is to air on Five next year.
Sally Miles, Passion Distribution's chief executive officer, described the series as a gift for the distributor. "Shot in HD the landscape is breathtaking as are the stories and lives of those onboard HMS Endurance," she said.
"The ground-breaking experiments and research that the scientists will undertake with the backdrop of life onboard HMS Endurance will be captivating."
Spiderlight was set up earlier this year by producers and directors Martin Kemp and Rosie Kingham.
