SYDNEY: Australia's Presto has scored an SVOD agreement with Entertainment One (eOne) Television to offer complete seasons of series such as Rogue and Bitten.

Presto TV and Presto Entertainment subscribers can now watch the undercover crime drama Rogue, the suspense series The Firm and supernatural werewolf thriller Bitten, all coming first to Presto. Additional programs slated to appear from eOne include seasons one through four of Hell on Wheels, seasons one through four of Haven, the first season of The Slap, the first four seasons of Rookie Blue and season one of Matador.

Shaun James, the interim CEO of Presto TV, said, “eOne has one of the best collections of current hit TV programs worldwide and we’re thrilled to add a top-tier selection of some of their most suspenseful and thought-provoking titles, including Hell on Wheels, Bitten, The Firm and The Slap to Presto. We’ve already had enormous success following the addition of The Walking Dead, which we recently acquired from eOne as an SVOD exclusive. Today’s news will solidify that success even further.”

“We’re delighted to be expanding our relationship with Presto,” commented Ben Bishop, sales director at eOne. “Given the recent success with The Walking Dead, we are confident that they are the perfect partner to bring this exciting new slate of programming to Australian audiences.”
