UK & China Seek Co-Pro Opportunities; BBC Studios Sets ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’ iQiyi Streaming Launch For China — Filmart

At the UK-China Screen Forum held with Hong Kong’s Filmart, BBC Studios unveiled that Walking with Dinosaurs will premiere exclusively on iQiyi for mainland China audiences in 2025, and a Chinese-dubbed version of nature series Asia will also launch on Phoenix Chinese Channel.

The forum, now in its fourth edition, featured a delegation from the UK’s Department of Business and Trade (DBT), British Film Institute (BFI), BBC Studios, Film Export UK as well as from China’s Pheonix TV and Bilibili. Organizers said that another UK-China Screen Forum will run during the BFI London Film Festival in October.

Delegates from UK and China emphasized the need to increase co-production and co-development opportunities between both territories, as well as sharpen distribution opportunities, which will also provide clearer data on what kinds of films and shows work in each market.
