- Na Hong‑Jin's 'Hope' was also bought by Mubi a day earlier, highlighting a rapid acquisition spree at Cannes.
- Variety reports the same multi‑territory agreement as Deadline, confirming the scope and timing of the deal.
- Cannes competition now features 'Coward', 'Hope', and ZDF’s 'The Flaws' winning a Seriencamp award, indicating a crowded field of high‑profile titles.
