Dead Set Licensed to Four New Territories

Everyone on the Dread Central staff who’s seen the British reality TV/zombie hybrid known as “>”Dead Set” (review) is a huge fan. So it was good news that soon a large portion of the rest of the world will have a chance to enjoy it as well.

According to today’s Variety, “Dead Set” has been licensed to four new territories: Canal Plus and a major free-to-air channel in Spain, SBS in Australia, BBC Entertainment in Africa, and TV400 in Sweden.

Tom Toumazis, distributor Endemol Intl.’s new chief commercial officer, said (and I couldn’t agree more), “‘Dead Set’ is clever, thrilling, funny and genuinely scary. Its blackly comic take on the world of ‘Big Brother’ makes it one of a kind.

Still no word on US distro, but as soon as we hear something, you guys will be the first to know!
