5USA acquires hit series Bull from CBS studios

May 25, 2017 by TVA Editor

London and Amsterdam – Channel 5 and CBS Studios International announced a licensing agreement for the exclusive free-to-air broadcast rights to the #1 new series on U.S. television, Bull. The hit drama will premiere on 5USA in Summer 2017.

 

Bull, starring NCIS alum Michael Weatherly as the brilliant, brash and charming Dr. Bull, is inspired by the early career of TV’s most famous therapist, Dr. Phil McGraw, the founder of one of the most prolific trial consulting firms of all time. Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick.

 

Katie Keenan, Head of Acquisitions for Channel 5 and VIMN UK, said, “Michael Weatherly has an army of fans for his work on NCIS, and I’m thrilled that Channel 5 is able to bring his brand new series to the U.K. Our 5USA audience loves gripping U.S. drama, and I can’t wait for them to meet Dr. Jason Bull.”

 

Stephen Tague, Senior Vice President, Europe for CBS Studios International, said, “We are thrilled to bring Bull, the #1 new series on U.S. television, to U.K. free-to-air audiences. Bull landing on 5USA further strengthens our relationship with Channel 5 and complements the network’s impressive slate of existing CBS programming.”

 

Starring alongside Michael Weatherly in Bull is Benny Colón (Freddy Rodriguez), a lawyer who acts as the defense attorney in the company’s mock trials; Marissa Morgan (Geneva Carr), a cutting-edge neurolinguistics expert from the department of homeland security; former NYPD detective Danny James (Jaime Lee Kirchner), the firm’s tough but relatable investigator; haughty millennial hacker Cable McCrory (Annabelle Attanasio), who is responsible for gathering cyber intelligence; and Chunk Palmer (Chris Jackson), a fashion-conscious stylist and former All-American lineman who fine-tunes clients’ appearances for trial. In high-stakes trials, Bull’s combination of remarkable insight into human nature, three Ph.D.’s and top-notch staff creates winning strategies that tip the scales of justice in his clients’ favor.

 

Bull is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Amblin Television and Stage 29 Productions and is distributed internationally by CBS Studios International. Mark Goffman, Paul Attanasio, Dr. Phil McGraw, Steven Spielberg, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, Jay McGraw and Rodrigo Garcia serve as executive producers.
