EXCLUSIVE: With pilot season, the upfronts and the LA Screenings now behind us, numerous UK broadcasters are in various stages of acquiring next season’s new shows for their schedules (DMD’s S.H.I.E.L.D., SPT’s The Blacklist and CBSSI’s The Millers and We Are Men, are widely tipped to become the first shows from the 2013-2014 season to land those lucrative UK sales). While all eyes are on these new series and the various deals that are being hammered out, TVWise continues its extensive acquisitions coverage with our broadcaster-by-broadcaster breakdown of which current shows will be coming back later this year or early next.

EXCLUSIVE: The past couple of weeks have been fairly heavy on the acquisitions front. There are deals underway for the UK rights to ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., CBS’The Millers and We Are Men and NBC’s The Blacklist (and numerous others); Sky Living acquired the rights to the short-lived Fox series The Mob Doctor; Syfy UK acquired Sharknado and the third season of The Almighty Johnsons, Watch acquired Canadian series Saving Hope; A+E Network UK announced the launch of Lifetime and acquired Damages, The Client List and a number of Lifetime TV movies; and Comedy Central UK passed on acquiring the final seasons of 30 Rock and The Office. With all that, there has still been questions about UK broadcasts of FX’s The Bridge, Syfy’s newest series Helix and NBC’s upcoming drama series Ironside and I’ve been able to pin down the current statuses of all three. Full details follow below…
