More US drama series could play out as part of ITV1's primetime schedule, depending on their success Stateside.
Last month the channel picked up the rights to JJ Abrams' new project Six Degrees, committing it to a primetime slot from early 2007.
The broadcaster also acquired a trio of "brand-defining" new dramas - The Black Donnellys, Raines and Smith - for each of its multichannels, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4.
Acquisitions head Jay Kandola is now priming those series for a key slot on ITV1, should their popularity call for it.
"If there's good US comedy and drama, it has a place on ITV1," she said at today's launch of the US series. "All people want is good TV... they don't give a stuff if it's a UK drama or a US drama."
ITV will premiere Six Degrees to the public at the Edinburgh TV Festival this weekend.
