Outright Shows Headed to Zone Reality

LONDON: A number of series from Outright Distribution, including the seventh cycle of Who Do You Think You Are?, have been picked up by Chello Zone to air on its Zone Reality channel across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Who Do You Think You Are? is a genealogy series that explores the past through tracing the family tree of a different celebrity in each episode. Celebrities feature in the seventh season, currently airing in the U.K., include Bruce Forsyth, Rupert Everett, Dervla Kerwan, Monty Don, Rupert Penry-Jones, Alexander Armstrong, Hugh Quarshie, Alan Cumming and Jason Donovan.

Also scoring a pickup are Spy, which features a group of ordinary people who are challenged to leave their lives behind and assume a whole new identity, and Dallas DNA is a real-life crime series that goes inside the Dallas DA’s office, which is determined to right past wrongs.

Sam Rowden, Chello Zone’s director of programming for reality, said, “We are delighted to add these high quality series to the Zone Reality slate. We have worked closely with Outright Distribution to bring the returning innovative and unique series Who Do You Think You Are? to our viewers. Spy and Dallas DNA offer some fresh and intriguing crime reality which fits perfectly with the Zone Reality remit.”
