THRILLING PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMAWOLF CREEK  PREMIERES FIRST ON FOX

Wolf Creek follows American teenager Eve Thorogood (Lucy Fry, 11.22.63) on holiday with her family in Northern Australia.  Sadistic killer Mick targets the family, viciously slaughtering them for his own twisted pleasure.  Seriously injured, Eve survives the massacre of her parents and little brother, and sets out to bring the killer to justice.  And so begins a chilling game of cat and mouse, with the roles reversed and the hunter becoming the hunted. A Tarantino-esque revenge tale, Wolf Creek reveals Eve’s complex and extraordinary journey, as she evolves from child to adult, from prey to predator. But can she triumph over Mick Taylor, evil incarnate?

​Toby Etheridge, Head of Programming, FOX UK, commented: “Wolf Creek is a slick and tense psychological drama boasting gnarly thrills and heart-stopping tension. FOX is renowned for its high-quality horror hits including exorcism drama Outcast and the American Horror Story franchise, making Wolf Creek a perfect addition to our portfolio. Mick Taylor may not be good for tourism, but he’s great for entertainment!”.   Chris Stewart, VP Sales & Acquisitions, commented: “Zodiak Rights is delighted to be partnering with FOX to bring this fantastic series to UK viewers. Wolf Creek terrified a generation when the original film released in 2005 and with the same creative team at the helm, this brand new series is guaranteed to provide another premium dose of tension and terror!”

Why this has piqued our interest. The tension is building as the 12th of October gets ever closer. Thankfully though FOX have realised this and are drip feeding us more and more in the way of Walking Dead info. Along with this are some great Promo shits which you can see below.

The Walking Dead premieres S6 on Monday 12th October 9pm, First on FOX

Beautiful.  Brilliant. Deadly. Before there was S.H.I.E.L.D. there was Agent Peggy Carter  UK Premiere to air this July First On FOX

Why this has piqued our interest The range of Marvel shows is growing but the absence of Agent Carter from UK screens has been something on an anomaly. Considering the show is headed by Hayley Atwell (a dual nationality actress born in London) and is the most British property on Marvel's television roster at this time, it has seemed odd that no UK network until now has picked the series up. Thankfully come July this will change as FOX UK will be showing the series in full. The first series runs for 8 episodes but considering the show has a second season in production we are hopeful that FOX will continue their relationship with the show into next year. For now though we only have a little while longer to wait until the show airs.

All the Details

The Walking Dead was shortlisted in the brand new ‘multi-channel category’ for the National Television Awards 2015.

Three ‘walkers’ attended the awards, rubbing shoulders with celebrities on the red carpet and backstage, signing autographs for fans and taking selfies.  Below is a clip of the walkers story from the night: their background before they were turned,  getting ready, backstage at the awards and all the fun they had.

The Walking Dead Season 5 Part B premieres Monday 9th February 9pm on FOX

Please beware we will not spoil this episode but will point to events from the Previous seasons.

When we first met up with Rick Grimes and the rest of the cast in Season one life was about mere survival but as time has gone on the idea of rebuilding the world has come into the forefront of people's desires. This led the group to what they thought would be their "Sanctuary". As we now know this ended up being more of a nightmare then anyone really anticipated, though not from the walkers but instead from other survivors. This examination of power and survival permeates this episode as we find out what happens in a direct continuation of the end of Series 4 and if the Terminus crew really are "Screwing with the wrong People".

Why this has piqued our interest Coming from Howard Gordon one the producer's behind 24 and Homeland gives this show a level of expectation that it will be gritty and pull no punches. From the release below this certainly seems the way the team are heading. Add to that a interesting cast and a setting we have yet to explore in this way you have the makings of a must see TV series. We will be keeping you abreast of any more details as well as reviewing the show when it airs later this year.

FOX International Channels UK has acquired the rights to FX drama Tyrant from Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution.  The 10 x 60 US series was created by Gideon Raff (Prisoners of War) and is executive produced by Howard Gordon (24, Homeland). The series is produced by Fox 21 and FX Productions. Tyrant will premiere in the UK this September on FOX.

The deal was brokered by Toby Etheridge, Head of Programming & Scheduling, FIC UK, and Jason Simms, SVP Global Acquisitions for FOX International Channels, with Steve Cornish, SVP & Managing Director, Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution

Tyrant is a tense, political and family drama, bringing a Godfather style plot to the Middle East. It tells the story of Bassam “Barry” Al-Fayeed (English actor Adam Rayner), who has escaped his past and now lives in California with his American wife Molly (Jennifer Finnigan) and two children Emma (Anne Winters) and Sammy (Noah Silver).  Barry is the youngest son of Khaled Al-Fayeed (Nasser Faris), a war-torn country’s controversial dictator and authoritarian President. 

After 20 years of a self-imposed exile, Barry returns to his homeland for his nephew’s wedding and is immediately thrown back into the familial and national politics of his youth. Barry’s concern intensifies when he sees the degeneration of his older brother Jamal (Ashraf Barhom), heir to the throne. Amidst a chain of tragedies, this all-American family find themselves embroiled in the geopolitical intrigue of a volatile and turbulent Middle Eastern nation that will forever change their lives.

Toby Etheridge, Head of Programming & Scheduling, FIC UK, commented:  “Topical and relevant, Tyrant is an engrossing political series. At its heart a family drama, Tyrant is fascinating and well-made, and everything you would expect from the makers of Homeland and 24, and the broadcaster that brought us Fargo, Louie and American Horror Story. “

Cecilia Beacon, Director of Broadcasting & Marketing FIC UK added: “Tyrant is the perfect addition to our Autumn line up on FOX – with big subject matter and bold themes, we know this will appeal to our passionate audiences who come to FOX for the best in first run US drama series.’

Steve Cornish, SVP and Managing Director of Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution concluded: “Tyrant, which is set in a fictional nation in the Middle East is a thrilling and dramatic family saga on a grand scale.  It  is international TV at its very best. Lead by Brit Adam Rayner, it features an amazing cast from the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the US.”
