Vicious to Premiere on Australia’s Seven

CANNES: Seven Network in Australia has acquired the new ITV comedy Vicious, starring Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi, from Shine International.

The show centers on two partners who have lived together for close to five decades. The 6×30-minute series is produced by Brown Eyed Boy in collaboration with Kudos and Nickelby. The first episode was screened at MIPTV earlier this week.

Angus Ross, the director of network programming at Seven, commented: “Seven are delighted to have acquired Vicious. The talent behind this production has delivered a wicked, laugh out loud comedy that Australian audiences will love.”
