LONDON, May 22:
FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) has completed additional sales for the

with broadcasters in Estonia, Bulgaria, Canada and Poland.

The series was picked up
by Allarco (Super Channel) for English-speaking Canada, TV2 in Bulgaria, Kanal

international broadcasters who have already taken on the drama, which includes
TV3 in Ireland, TV Norge in Norway, VTM in Flemish-speaking Belgium, MTV3 in
Finland, HOT for VOD rights and Dori Spike Media for cable and satellite rights
in Israel, among others. The show, produced by Lonehand Productions, debuted on
Australian premium movie channel Showcase late last year, and has been
re-commissioned, with filming set to begin in June.

David Ellender, FME’s CEO, said: “Satisfaction is proving a real hit with buyers around the world. The drama has had
rave reviews in Australia and we are looking forward to closing further deals
currently in negotiation. Satisfaction is an incredibly well-written and dynamic drama that both engages and
challenges the viewer.”
