Drop Dead Diva Scores Slot on LIVING

LONDON: LIVING has picked up the comedic drama series Drop Dead Diva from Sony Pictures Television.

The series will air in a prime-time slot on LIVING in April. Drop Dead Diva follows a beautiful-yet-vapid model wannabe who has a fatal car accident and returns to Earth as a plus-sized and brilliant attorney. The show airs in the U.S. on Lifetime.

Virgin Media Television’s head of acquisitions, Amy Barham, said: “If you loved shows like Ugly Betty and Ally McBeal then you will love Drop Dead Diva. Its great mix of the hilarious, the quirky and sometimes the downright tear jerking that will ensure its place as another must watch addition to LIVING’s already stellar drama lineup.”
