Channel 4 has acquired the UK broadcast rights to three upcoming US series, the network announced today.
Invasion follows the inhabitants of a small South Floridian town in the aftermath of a hurricane while Reunion charts the lives of a group of friends over the course of one season.
The final pickup is The War at Home, a comedy from the writer of Will & Grace and Ellen which goes "inside the heads of the modern family through the use of a 'confessional space', where the characters reveal everything they could never say to one another."
The deal with Warner Bros. also includes new seasons of The O.C., One Tree Hill, The West Wing and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
"Channel 4 and E4 have been a wonderful and successful broadcast home to many of our series throughout the years," said Jeffrey R. Schlesinger, President of Warner Bros. International Television.
"We are delighted that these networks will be become home to some of our new series, where we're certain they will have a great opportunity for success. We're also pleased that our existing programmes will continue their runs on C4 and E4."
