Beyond Clinches Fine Living Slot

SYDNEY: Beyond Distribution has licensed the 13×30-minute series Mr Friday, launched at MIPTV, to Fine Living Network in the U.S.

The cable channel will roll out the series in August. The show, from Temple Street Productions, features the flamboyant Derek Friday, a quintessential "trust fund baby" who must switch places with an ordinary, hard-working person every Friday in order to earn his weekly cheque from his mother. 

“We are happy to add the audacious and adventurous Derek Friday to our talent roster,” said Chad Youngblood, the general manager of Fine Living Network. "We are thrilled to be the home of Mr. Friday, which is a natural fit for one of the funniest and most entertaining primetimes on television."
