A crowd of international A-list talent will descend on the Croisette next week for Mipcom Cannes. The likes of Succession star Brian Cox, Insatiable and Charmed actress Alyssa Milano, Drive My Car breakout talent Toko Miura, and supermodel and actress Cara Delevingne will be strolling the French Riviera for the 38th edition of the international television market.
The VIPs are in town to promote their latest television ventures, which are being shopped worldwide at Mipcom.
Cox, famous for playing the ultra-rich and ruthless billionaire Logan Roy in Succession, will be in Cannes shilling for That’s the Way the Money Goes, his two-part documentary series on the meaning of wealth and the impact of money on both the 1-percent and people living in poverty. The series, produced by Naked for Channel 5 in the U.K., is being sold worldwide by Naked parent company Fremantle.
Delevingne will also be in town promoting a Naked show: her BBC Three/Hulu documentary series Planet Sex With Cara Delevingne, which Fremantle’s Naked Television and Delevingne’s Milkshake Productions are co-producing and which sees Delevingne explore questions surrounding human sexuality by visiting communities who view and experience gender and sexuality in hugely contrasting ways.
Cox and Delevingne, along with several other on-screen talents, will attend Fremantle’s VIP party in Mipcom Monday night.
