Shows include Australian drama Watching You, with Disney+ EMEA also acquiring the Lingo Pictures series
Disney+ in Europe and Hulu in the US have picked up Australian drama Watching You following a deal with ITV Studios.
The thriller, which will debut on both services on 20 February, was produced by ITVS-owned Lingo Pictures for Aussie streamer Stan, with the deal forming part of a broader package acquired by Hulu.
The US-based streamer has also struck renewal deals for Love Island UK from Lifted Entertainment and Love Island Australia, as well as Hell’s Kitchen and hospitality drama Kitchen Nightmares from ITV America.
Hulu has also picked up thriller Malpractice from ITVS’s World Productions and shows from the Agatha Christie collection, including Marple and Poirot, as well as murder mystery Sparkling Cyanide from Company Pictures.
The streamer has also renewed its library from Vice, with both seasons of Dark Side of Comedy, six seasons of Dark Side of the Ring and four seasons of F*ck, That’s Delicious among shows included.
The package was brokered by ITVS duo Katie Buchanan, exec vice president of Americas, and Rob Kaplan, senior vice president of US & Latin America.
Tom Clark, ITVS’s exec vice president of global sales and commercial strategy, said “We’re absolutely delighted that the incredible Watching You has found a global home on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ in EMEA and that we were able to deliver such a strong, eclectic slate of record-breaking reality and captivating crime drama for Hulu’s discerning subscriber base.”
