CBS Studios signs deal with WOWOW

February 15, 2017 by TVA Editor

 

Los Angeles/Tokyo – CBS Studios International announced a multi-title content licensing agreement with Japan’s leading premium pay TV provider, WOWOW. The agreement includes the first-window broadcast rights to the highly anticipated new TWIN PEAKS; the #1 new U.S. drama BULL, starring Michael Weatherly; and the murder-mystery series AMERICAN GOTHIC.

 

BULL, TWIN PEAKS and AMERICAN GOTHIC will be shown on WOWOW’s Prime channel, joining other SHOWTIME and CBS programming, including the critically-acclaimed THE AFFAIR, the event series ZOO and the modern-day Sherlock Holmes drama, ELEMENTARY.

 

Hitoshi Yamamoto, General Manager, Programming Division at WOWOW said, “For the millions of WOWOW subscribers who have been watching the company’s programming since its launch 25 years ago, the new TWIN PEAKS will reignite great memories of the original ‘Twin Peaks’ series that was part of WOWOW’s original lineup and helped audiences identify WOWOW as a destination for the highest quality entertainment, due to its tremendous popularity.  We know that the latest iteration of TWIN PEAKS will captivate and delight an even larger WOWOW audience today, and we are delighted to expand a great partnership with CBS Studios International, whose American television series are amongst the most popular and highly regarded in the world.”

 

Directed entirely by David Lynch, TWIN PEAKS, the new SHOWTIME 18-part series, picks up 25 years after the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town were stunned by the shocking murder of their homecoming queen, Laura Palmer. TWIN PEAKS is written and executive produced by series creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, and is executive produced by Sabrina S. Sutherland.

 

BULL, the #1 new program of the season in the U.S., is averaging 16.0m million viewers, 2.3/08 in adults 18-49 and 3.4/10 in adults 25-54. With live plus 7-day lift, BULL’s premiere delivered 20.5 million viewers. BULL is the #2 broadcast drama (behind NCIS). BULL is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Amblin. Television and Stage 29 Productions and is distributed internationally by CBS Studios International, with Mark Goffman, Paul Attanasio, Dr. Phil McGraw, Steven Spielberg, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, Jay McGraw and Rodrigo Garcia (pilot only) serving as executive producers.

 

AMERICAN GOTHIC centers on a prominent Boston family reeling in the wake of the chilling discovery that someone in their midst is linked to an infamous string of murders. As shocking secrets from the past and present are revealed, their mounting suspicion and paranoia that one of them is a killer threatens to tear the family apart. AMERICAN GOTHIC is executive produced by Corinne Brinkerhoff, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, James Frey and Todd Cohen, produced by CBS Television Studios and distributed internationally by CBS Studios International.
