Nikita & Chase coming to Living

LivingTV have secured the UK rights to The CW's spy-action drama Nikita (starring Maggie Q, left) and NBC's Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Chase, about a team of US marshals. Nikita will be the jewel of Living's autumn schedule, with episodes airing shortly after their US broadcast. Interestingly, Chase will be renamed when it debuts on Living later this year.

Amy Barham, Living TV Group Head of Acquisitions:

"Nikita is the hottest, most action-packed new drama of the season with an amazingly strong female lead that we know will excite and engage Living's audiences this autumn."

Jeffrey Schlesinger, President of Warner Bros International Television Distribution:

"Our series have enjoyed great success on Living -- this is in no small part because the network truly invests in smart scheduling and creative marketing support around their programming. We believe the same will hold true for Nikita and Chase, two high-quality, compelling shows that fit perfectly into the programming mix of Living and its young audience."

These are the first new US acquisition by Living since the channel was bought by Sky from Virgin Media.
