'FlashForward' acquired by RTÉ, more
Ireland's RTÉ has picked up ABC's FlashForward, it has been announced.

The action drama, which stars Sonya Walger, Joseph Fiennes and Dominic Monaghan, has also been acquired by free TV broadcasters Cuatro (Spain), Nelonen (Finland), RUV (Iceland) and TV2 (Norway), plus pay TV broadcasters AXN (Spain & Portugal), Digiturk (Turkey), Fox International Channels (Greece and Cyprus) and SBS (Netherlands).

"FlashForward is a high concept, original idea which explores the subject - is our destiny predetermined or do we have the power to change our future?" said Disney-ABC-ESPN Television's Stephen Moore.

"With this relatable theme at its core and the brilliant production, this compelling show has generated strong international buzz. We're looking forward to working with our partners across EMEA to keep the momentum building in the run-up to FlashForward's highly-anticipated premiere in their territories."

Earlier this year, it was announced that Five had picked up the drama series with plans to air it within days of US transmission.
