Program Partners Clears Shaftesbury Films’ ReGenesis In Over 75% of U.S.
Acclaimed HDTV Procedural Sold in 30 of the Top 40
BANFF, ALBERTA — June 11, 2007 — Adding a new series to its growing portfolio of Canadian success stories in U.S. syndication, Program Partners has secured over 75% clearance for Shaftesbury Films’ ReGenesis, an award-winning procedural drama shot entirely in high-definition (HD). The series will launch in weekly barter syndication in fall 2007. Clearances include stations from the ABC, Belo, CBS, Granite, Fox, Hearst, Landmark, Lin, Tribune and Young groups. ReGenesis is set to become the first complete, original HDTV series offered for weekend syndication.
ReGenesis is Shaftesbury Films’ highly-acclaimed procedural drama about NorBAC (North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission), the special operations team headed by the brilliant but unpredictable Molecular Biologist Dr. David Sandström (Peter Outerbridge) and supported by a cast of forensic specialists and CIA operatives. Sandström and NORBAC battle dangerous and threatening cases involving deadly new strains of disease, mutant bacterium and bio-terrorism that, if left unsolved, could wreak havoc on a global scale. NorBAC may be all that stands between the public and rapid devastation.
“Timely storylines and award-winning production values make ReGenesis unlike anything else on television today,” said Program Partners’ Principal, Josh Raphaelson. “Viewers will find this series provocative and irresistible.”
“ReGenesis has struck a chord with audiences around the world,” said Christina Jennings, Creator and Executive Producer of ReGenesis. “With very real global threats at our doorstep, there is clearly an appetite for a uniquely styled drama like this one.”
ReGenesis is the only new original first-run, weekend hour to be made available in syndication for fall 2007. Program Partners is marketing ReGenesis along with Da Vinci’s Inquest, Intelligence and its Crime Watch network, featuring Cold Squad and Stone Undercover, as an outgrowth of its worldwide distribution agreement with Thunderbird Films.
