ViacomCBS’s Smithsonian Channel has picked up Game Of Thrones star Kristofer Hivju’s living history series Ultimate Viking (working title). Production has begun on the show in the UK and Norway, and it is slated to air in 2021.

Satellite event planned live from Hockney’s Los Angeles studio.
Picturehouse Entertainment has acquired Randall Wright’s feature documentary on artist David Hockney and will open it across the UK on Nov 28.
