Seven’s group MD for TV, Angus Ross, said Seven and ITV have been partners for more than two decades and the networks are 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," he said.
ITV Studios' EVP Asia Pacific global partnerships, Augustus Dulgaro, said 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," said Dulgaro.
Other recent ITV Studios programs to air first in Australia on Seven’s platforms include 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).
