Sky Vision Picks Up Canadian Crime Drama Bad Blood

LONDON: Sky Vision has taken on the international distribution rights for the new crime drama series Bad Blood.

The six-part series is produced by New Metric Media and Sphère Média Plus for City in Canada. Bad Blood stars Anthony LaPaglia (Without a Trace, Riviera) as Montreal crime boss Vito Rizzuto, Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) as Vito’s right-hand man Declan Gardiner, Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas) as family patriarch Nico Rizzuto Sr. and Enrico Colantoni (Flashpoint) as Bruno Bonsignori.

Jane Millichip, the managing director of Sky Vision, said, “Whilst Bad Blood is a commercially appealing, universal story of revenge, power and greed, New Metric and Sphère have also crafted a muscular narrative and cast of characters that do not pull their punches. We commend both the producers and broadcaster, City, in delivering an addictive drama. We look forward to a successful partnership.”
