The Coop Troop

Funny, fast, farcical, and feathery, The Coop Troop features the entertaining exploits of a gang of five unlikely heroes: hyperactive rabbit Maggie, eccentric inventor Flo the chicken, bon vivant swine Clive, excitable lamb Billy and enigmatic egg, Jo d’Oeuf. Thirsty for adventure to escape their mundane farm life, The Coop Troop’s mission is to help any animal with a problem – and they’re kept very busy by the precious, pampered pets of neighbouring town, Animauville.

All Round Champions Series 2

It’s the ultimate event for ten of the best young athletes in North America: instead of competing in their own sport, these future Olympians must master their competition’s events. Does a downhill skier have the drive to master powerlifting? Can a karate champ score on the hockey ice? Whether it’s fencing, snow kiting, artistic swimming or hurdles, these athletes will overcome adversity, display sportsmanship, and prove they have what it takes to be crowned the next All-Round Champion.

Minibods

Welcome to the fantastical Land of Odd, home to the Minibods. Join six furry little friends as they get up to hilarious mayhem, turning everyday situations into unexpected, super silly events. Whatever life throws their way, the Minibods overcome hurdles the unconventional way, to better understand themselves and the world around them!

Exclusive: 

The Other Mrs Jordan - Catching the Ultimate Conman (Part of ITVX's Swindles & Cons strand)

This brand-new series for ITVX unravels the complex strands of the multiple “other Mrs Jordans” and follows the manhunt led by retired U.S Marshal Tex Lindsay to track down the shady figure who left so much pain and confusion in his wake.

Mary Turner Thomson had grown used to her husband’s frequent and often sudden trips away to far-flung locations as well as the secretive nature of his work, which meant he was regularly unable to maintain contact with her. She contented herself that these challenges were a necessary sacrifice when your spouse, William Allen Jordan, was a CIA agent working in counter-terrorism in the early 2000s... or so she thought until a fateful phone call in April 2006 from someone claiming to be “The Other Mrs Jordan”.
