Carbon Media is to make a third series on free running, titled Jump World.
The shows will be the first Carbon co-production with Lonely Planet and follows Channel 4 documentaries Jump London and Jump Britain.
Free runners will run around and jump from landmarks worldwide.
Carbon co-founder Mike Smith said: "Free running is a worldwide phenomenon now. We have seen its influence on YouTube and Google Video, where amateurs are producing their own versions."
C4 International will get a first-look for international rights. Smith explained: "C4I is content-hungry and we want to be able to have the kind of relationship where we can see the whole of their team to talk about ideas.
"Their international knowledge will feed into the projects we develop and they can sell formats internationally that we haven't necessarily sold in the UK yet."
The series will be directed by Carbon's Mike Christie.
