At Home with the Furys producer Demi Doyle is opening a Banijay-backed label under the Workerbee umbrella.
Doyle is leading Navybee, which will focus on talent-led premium docs. She has spent her last seven years with All3Media-backed Optomen, during which time she produced Netflix smash At Home with the Furys along with ITV’s Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King, while she developed and produced BBC hit Sort Your Life Out with Stacey Solomon. Prior to joining Optomen, she produced The Secret Life of 4,5,6 Year Olds, The Apprentice, Gogglebox, Educating Cardiff and London and Naked Attraction.
Doyle’s new label is jumping aboard the trend for premium docs featuring big talent and access. Workerbee has already made the likes of Lifetime’s Janet Jackson and Netflix’s Human Playground narrated by Idris Elba. Having been handed additional cash by Banijay, the company recently became a group and backed Welsh production label Ty’r Ddraig.

An acute sense of instability will inform much of the content bought and sold on the MipTV floor, though the symptoms might manifest themselves beyond doom and gloom. Somewhat unsurprisingly, given an unrelenting remit of climate anxieties and global unrest, this tendency has left no genre untouched.
“Obviously the world in which we live is quite dramatic at the moment, and that has created an appetite for stories that offer solutions,” explains international distribution expert Beatrice Rossmanith. As head of global business for consulting firm Glance Ltd (formerly known as Tape Consultancy), Rossmanith monitors content across hundreds of channels in 45 territories worldwide. And lately she has noticed a pervasive trend.
“There’s obviously a thirst for truth nowadays,” Rossmanith says. “[And a thirst] to tackle modern anxieties by asking what more can we do?”
