Fiver, Five USA Ramp Up Programming Slates

LONDON: A number of new acquired and commissioned series are headed to Fiver and Five USA, including the third season of Californication.

There’s also Getting It (working title), a new commissioned scripted drama. The series follows the life of a young fashion reporter. Ugly Americans is an adult animated series from the writers of The Simpsons. It is set in an alternative universe where creatures from horror, fantasy and science fiction live among the ordinary citizens. True Justice centers on a team of Seattle-based cops who take on the local criminal element in an area known as Camp Harmony, a low-income, multi-racial sector on the outskirts of town. Secret Girlfriend was adapted from the Atomic Wedgie online series. It features the video diary of a 20-something hero and his two friends.

Ugly Americans, set for Fiver, will debut in July, alongside Californication. Getting it, also set for Fiver, will air in August, while Secret Girlfriend, another series for Fiver, debuts in November. True Justice, headed to Five USA, will launch in 2011.

Also joining the new lineup is the exclusive premiere of Living in Your Car, to air on Fiver, along with the second seasons of Archer, for Fiver, and Justified, for Five USA.
