It premiered on Epix in the U.S. on September 14, 2020, and now Fremantle bosses, who are handling international sales on the series, have closed a number of global deals to take the show to 130 territories worldwide.
Ahead of securing deals in mainland Europe, South America, and Africa, Fremantle chiefs previously closed a deal with British network BBC Two for Enslaved, which will air a revised four-part version of the series.
“For me, this is much more than a TV series,” the actor previously explained of the show. “For me, Enslaved is an attempt to give a voice to the millions whose voices were silenced.”
