Seven Soon to Premiere the Hotly Anticipated New Titles The Crow Girl

MIPCOM Cannes, 21 October 2024 – The Seven Network has renewed its long standing output deal with ITV Studios until 2029. This multi-year agreement will see Seven extend its first look agreement for all ITV scripted and non-scripted finished content from around the world to run across Seven’s suite of channels and platforms.

Among the highly anticipated new scripted titles that will premiere on Seven are the multi-faceted contemporary psychological thriller The Crow Girl (Buccaneer Media for Paramount+). They join well known returners such as the most watched UK drama of the 21st Century Line of Duty (World Productions for the BBC) and the highly acclaimed and long-running detective dramas The Murdoch Mysteries (Shaftesbury Films for CBC and UKTV), Vera (Silverprint Pictures for ITV) and Endeavour (Mammoth Screen for ITV).

Seven’s Angus Ross, Group Managing Director, Television, said: “Seven and ITV have been partners for more than two decades and we are delighted to extend this long-term partnership. ITV content is an important part of our schedule across the Seven TV channels and our rapidly growing 7plus streaming platform. ITV has some great shows that Australians are going to love.”

Augustus Dulgaro, EVP Asia Pacific Global Partnerships, ITV Studios said, “I’m so pleased to continue this fantastic partnership with Angus and the team at Seven. Given the challenging macroeconomic conditions, this deal underscores the importance of long term relationships and brand alignment in the market. We’re delighted to see so much of our content find a home on Australia’s no.1 network, speaking to the commercial quality of our catalogue and upcoming slate”

Other recent ITV Studios programmes to air first in Australia on Seven’s platforms include ratings hits such as Mr Bates vs Post Office (ITV Studios and Little Gem for ITV), The Marlow Murder Club (Monumental Television for UKTV in co-production with Masterpiece), The Chase UK (Potato for ITV), Abused by Mum – The Ruby Franke Scandal (ITN Productions for Channel 5 and Peacock) and The British Airways Killer (Moonshine Features for ITV).
