International sales for Code 1: Minute by Minute

WTFN documentary series Code 1: Minute by Minute has its first international sales by distributor Fred Media.

Originally produced for Seven, the series has now been acquired by Warner Bros. Discovery in the UK, AMC Networks International for Spain and Portugal, SBS in Belgium and TVNZ.

Code 1: Minute by Minute breaks down the hours, minutes, and seconds of the biggest and most tragic recent news events to impact Australia including the 2017 Bourke Street Mall tragedy in Melbourne.

Episodes break down in forensic detail exactly how strangers came to cross paths. For many, it was a combination of sliding door moments and fateful decisions that set them on a tragic path.

Karen Connell, Fred Media’s senior sales manager for UK & Western Europe, said, “We are thrilled that Code 1: Minute by Minute has got off to such a great start in the international market. While it focuses on very specific Australian news events of recent years, the personal stories are universal, totally absorbing and will resonate with viewers everywhere. WTFN’s format can cleverly deconstruct any event with a big impact and lasting consequences and provides a fascinating examination of just how much fate can play a part in anyone’s day.”

A second series is in production for delivery in Spring 2023.
