Canadian Slot for Harlots

Canada’s Super Channel has landed the rights to the ITV Encore and Hulu co-commission Harlots, along with two other dramas from ITV Studios Global Entertainment (ITVS GE).

The series, produced by Monumental Film & Television, will air exclusively on the premium pay-TV channel in Canada this May. The network also picked up the ITV Studios dramas Tutankhamun and Dark Heart, both set to air this summer.

“British drama has always resonated with Canadian viewers and Harlots has all the hallmarks of the very best British storytelling,” said Craig Bohland, VP of sales for Canada at ITVS GE. “Through its rich characters and sumptuous production values, it gives a new insight into a fascinating period of time. We’re excited to work with Super Channel to launch the series, along with Tutankhamun and Dark Heart, in Canada.”

“We couldn’t be more excited to be bringing these compelling British dramas from ITV to our subscribers,” said Melissa Kajpust, director of programming, international distributors and Canadian presales, for Super Channel. “The rave reviews for Harlots keep pouring in and we can’t wait for our viewers to see it. I was hooked right from the start by the strong female characters, unique premise and incredible storytelling, and I’m sure our viewers will be too.”
