France TV Distribution has picked up international rights to “Apocalypse Civilizations: Rome,” a first new installment of the high-rating, worldwide-sold historical historical doc franchise, written and directed by Thomas Marlier (“Sardinia, the Mysterious Civilization of the Nuraghi,” “Science Grand Format”).

“We are really excited about this reboot of Apocalypse. Since the first series launched in 2013, the ‘Apocalypse’ collection – with its innovative approach of colorization of archives – became the strongest French documentary brand in terms of ratings in France and also in terms of international distribution. Since then, it has been aired in over 180 countries,” said Julia Schulte, SVP international sales at France TV Distribution.
