20th Licenses FX Programming Packages to Canal+, Foxtel & Others

Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution (TCFTVD) has sold FX programming internationally as a premium portfolio, with licensees such as France’s Canal+ Group and Australia’s Foxtel scoring first-run rights to all new series in the FX portfolio.

Alongside Canal+ and Foxtel, Sky New Zealand, HBO España and HBO Nordic are the first licensees to score these all-new series from FX’s portfolio of premium original content. Among the shows in the FX offering are Pose, the highly anticipated new dance musical series from co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Steven Chanel; Kurt Sutter’s Sons of Anarchy spin-off Mayans MC; and Trust, from executive producers Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy and Christian Colson.

“By elevating the FX brand globally, we are emulating the premium cable model and providing a portfolio of series that can be programmed and marketed together to target audiences seeking the very best in scripted content,” said Gina Brogi, the president of global distribution at TCFTVD. “FX consistently delivers top quality programming from visionary creators that attracts major stars and earns both critical acclaim and commercial success. We are excited to have licensees recognize the incredible value we are offering by packaging the premium programming that is intrinsic to the strength of the FX brand.”
