UK Crime Drama ‘Cooper & Fry’ Lands U.S. Home At BritBox

The British crime drama series ‘Cooper & Fry’ has secured a distribution deal for the United States and Canada with the streaming service BritBox. This acquisition follows the show's successful run on Paramount-owned broadcast network 5 in the United Kingdom. BritBox will carry the first season of ‘Cooper & Fry’, marking a significant expansion for the series into the North American market.

While BritBox has acquired the first window rights for the U.S. and Canada, Netflix has secured the second window rights for the series. This indicates a multi-platform strategy for the show's international rollout. The specific terms of the deal, including financial details and release dates for the U.S. and Canada, were not immediately disclosed.

‘Cooper & Fry’ is a crime drama that has garnered positive reception in the UK. Its move to BritBox suggests a growing appetite for British television content among international audiences and a strategic acquisition for BritBox to bolster its library of exclusive programming. The series joins a growing slate of content on the platform, which aims to be a premier destination for British television in North America.
