Sci-Fi UK buy Dollhouse & Knight Rider

Friday, 20 March 2009

The Sci-Fi Channel have purchased the UK rights to Dollhouse and Knight Rider.

Programming director for NBC Universal Global Networks, Jon Farrar:

"We're dedicated to offering our audience the most exciting content available and are thrilled to become the UK home for two such highly anticipated series. Knight Rider and Dollhouse both hail from fine pedigrees, clearly reflected in their superior production values. The special effects in both series are genuinely show-stopping and likely to be the subject of many water-cooler moments for fans, who have the added choice of watching in either standard or high definition."
NBC's remake of Knight Rider was greeted with mostly negative reviews and the series has not been renewed. Fox's Dollhouse is only six episodes into its run Stateside, with mixed reviews and disappointing ratings. Sci-Fi's acquisitions include the renewal of repeat rights to Buffy spin-off Angel.
