A Place to Call Home absent as Presto announces first wave of TV shows
Foxtel and Seven West Media’s joint venture Presto Entertainment has confirmed it will offer subscribers access to Foxtel and Seven West Media drama series including Wentworth and Packed to the Rafters.
Earlier this week it was confirmed Seven West Media had joined Foxtel in the streaming service,which will now add TV content to its existing movie offering as it looks to establish its place in the market with Nine Entertainment Co and Fairfax’s joint venture Stan and US behemoth Netflix coming early next year.
Subscribers will be able to watch full seasons of home grown drama series from launch, with Foxtel bringing exclusive access to prison drama Wentworth as well as a collection of some of its most popular series including dramas Satisfaction and Love My Way, supernatural drama Spirited and miniseries Tangle, while Seven is offering Packed to the Rafters, All Saints, City Homicide, Home & Away, Winners & Losers and Always Greener.
However, there was no mention of new local co-production A Place to Call Home which Foxtel commissioned a third season of after Seven failed to pick it up. It will be made by Seven’s production unit still.
Well that’s a Start at Least, seven better move it’s Sitocms to it’s Secondary Channels or Else First Run on Presto.
Aquarius has not started airing in the US yet… Though I wouldn’t be surprised if they delay it for months on end like the do with everything else when it does air.
