Two police dramas, two factual series and a science-fiction kids drama are heading up Canadian indie E1 Entertainment's Mipcom slate this year.

Copper, already sold to ABC in the US and Global Television in Canada, is a one-hour workplace drama that centres on five rookie police officers. E1 Entertainment handles international distribution.

Joining it at Cannes is fellow police procedural The Bridge (13x60'), which stars Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica), as a police union leader who must battle against not only criminals but also his own bosses in order to protect the officers he represents. The series will air on CBS in the US and CTV in Canada.

In the factual vein are Outlaw Bikers, which airs on History Television in Canada and follows biker gang the Hells Angels; and makeover Re-Vamped, which follows eight single women in their bid to get in shape and form a burlesque troupe. Revamped is also available as a format.

Finally, teen-targeting sci-fi series Stormworld (26x30') centres on two friends who are transported to a parallel universe.
