The Seven Network has renewed its long-standing partnership with ITV Studios, securing an extended output deal that will run through 2029. Under this multi-year agreement, Seven will continue to hold first-look rights to all ITV scripted and non-scripted content from across the globe to Seven’s suite of channels and platforms in Australia.
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.”
Furthermore, Seven Network will premiere new scripted titles, including the psychological thriller The Crow Girl (Buccaneer Media for Paramount+) as part of its extended deal with ITV Studios. These new offerings join returning fan-favourites such as Line of Duty the most-watched UK drama of the 21st century (World Productions for the BBC) alongside highly acclaimed, long-running detective series like 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.”
Additionally, for Australian viewers, Seven Network continues to deliver exclusive first-run ITV Studios content. Recent titles include major ratings hits such as Mr Bates vs Post Office (ITV Studios and Little Gem for ITV), The Marlow Murder Club (Monumental Television for UKTV, co-produced 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).
