NEW YORK - March 23, 2021 - discovery+, the definitive non-fiction, real life subscription streaming service, today announced a high-volume, multi-territory SVOD deal with leading independent distributor All3Media International.

Both seasons (15 x 60' in total) of Studio Lambert's hit adventure BAFTA-winning series Race Across the World have been picked up in the deal, with SVOD rights signed for North America, India, Italy and Spain. Both seasons are now streaming on discovery+.
