Logo Picks Up Absolutely Fabulous

NEW YORK: Logo has acquired the five-season series Absolutely Fabulous and will kick off the premiere with a week-long marathon beginning April 16 at 2 p.m.

Absolutely Fabulous, which will move to its permanent time slot with episodes airing on Logo on Thursdays at 10 p.m., follows a publicist and a fashion director, best friends who live a life of excess and obsess over popular trends. The sitcom stars Jennifer Saunders and Patsy Stone.

"When it comes to ‘OMFG’ television, Ab Fab sets the bar with its notorious, hard-partying duo Patsy and Edina," said Marc Leonard, the senior VP of multiplatform programming for Logo. "This irreverent series about the ultimate anti-heroes changed the face of comedy and fits beautifully with Logo’s fierce programming."
