Nine, Warners renew pact

Nine, Warners renew pact
$500 mil deal brings content to Australia through 2015

In what is being billed as the largest single TV deal ever inked in Australia, Network Nine finally has locked up a renewal of its long-standing output pact with Warner Bros. for series and movies.

The total price tag for five more years of content through 2015 is almost $500 million if all escalators kick in and the studio's slate continues as hefty as it is today.

Competition for Warners' upcoming product was heated because Nine rival the Seven Network, the top-rated player Down Under, had made an aggressive counter-offer.

The Aussie arrangement essentially secures for Nine ongoing access to upcoming series from such Warners-based TV producers as Jerry Bruckheimer, John Wells, J.J. Abrams, Josh Schwartz, Kevin Williamson and Chuck Lorre as well as the studio's entire slate -- think three more "Harry Potter" installments, Christopher Nolan's "Inception" with Leonardo DiCaprio and more "Happy Feet."

I'm excited to see that Southland might get to Australia

It's already in Sweden, isn’t it?

Thanks for the news. I haven't heard anything at all about Southland being shown in the UK yet.

Nessa233 · 06-22-2009, 01:44 PM

I hope it will come to Germany as well.
Germany likes crime/cop shows!

**swedish_girl80** · 06-22-2009, 01:45 PM

^Double

for UK and Germany

It will be on tv3 this fall so its not on yet.

**LoveBEN** · 06-22-2009, 01:48 PM

We also don’t have it here, I think the show is quite expensive or maybe they're just waiting to buy when they'll have more episodes?

**swedish_girl80** · 06-23-2009, 12:36 PM

It could be that

But Sweden is very fast on some shows, like the OC aired very closed to US time. But I think Southland is fast here because of John Wells and ER

Another Emmy Consideration ad for Southland:

*Ben McKenzie- I actually got him confused with someone else but he was cool about it and said his name was "Dave." Best known from the show "The O.C."
*Adam Brody- Nice guy and best known from the show "The O.C."

Oh and Amanda Rigetti was also there
