Trends & Outlook 2025
" • Increased openness to LGBTQ+ Topics in Storytelling We are noticing a growing openness toward LGBTQ+ themes in content. While the region is gradually embracing diverse perspectives, there is a noticeable effort to catch up with global trends in inclusive storytelling. This shift creates opportunities for distributors to offer authentic and meaningful LGBTQ+ narratives that resonate with younger, more progressive audiences, while still respecting cultural nuances. • Demand for Innovative Takes on Major Anniversaries We forecast a surge in demand for innovative approaches to major anniversaries. As audiences seek fresh perspectives on familiar historical stories, there will be a growing emphasis on reimagining significant events through creative storytelling."

Asia focus in 2025
In 2025, PBS Distribution’s primary focus in Asia is to expand its reach and deepen partnerships with both pan-regional and local streaming platforms. PBS is known for being the most trusted documentary brand in the U.S., with a strong commitment to providing authentic, reliable, and thought-provoking content. This aligns perfectly with the needs of streaming platforms, where audiences are increasingly seeking high quality factual programming. As streaming platforms continue to dominate, PBS Distribution aims to be a key content provider for those platforms, offering a unique value proposition of trust, depth, and quality.” Anna Alvord, Director of Sales Operations
