- "World's Most Evil Prisoners" is becoming a Radial Entertainment original for its 10-part Season 4, airing exclusively in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Austria and Switzerland
- Woodcut International will sell Season 4 to remaining territories beginning at MIPCOM Cannes this week
- Production on Season 4 began in September, with a planned 2027 premiere date
- Radial is backed by funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management and holds a library of more than 75,000 movies and episodes spanning true crime, reality, animation, action and westerns
- The series examines offenders serving life sentences who go on to torture, kidnap and kill while incarcerated, drawing on accounts from victims, family, journalists and police
- Seasons 1 to 3 of "World's Most Evil Prisoners" are already available on Radial's free-streaming services
- The deal was negotiated by Katie Carroll, Director of Originals & Business Development at Radial, and Koulla Anastasi, Managing Director of Woodcut International
Why it matters: Radial is locking down a proven true-crime franchise with a 10-episode Season 4 commitment and a 2027 premiere pipeline, while Woodcut International keeps the international sales window open by launching at MIPCOM Cannes — meaning buyers outside the five- Radial-territory footprint must negotiate separately for worldwide rights.
