("DCD" or the "Group")

 

New Commission

 

DCD Media plc, the independent TV production and distribution group, is pleased to announce that it has won over US$6m worth of U.S. business, with the income expected to be recognised across 2011 and 2012, after a new order from American cable network WE tv to September Films, the Group's transatlantic reality, factual entertainment and formats producer.

 

WE tv has commissioned Season 9 of the iconic reality wedding series Bridezillas, the network's all-time, highest-rated series. The 23 x 60-minute episodes bring the franchise up to a total of 174 hours to be sold internationally by DCD Rights, the Group's wholly owned distributor. All previous seasons of the popular series have consistently been one of DCD Rights' top selling shows with acquisitions in over 50 territories, making Bridezillas DCD's biggest selling international brand.

 

Bridezillas creator, David Green, CEO of DCD Media commented: "We are delighted with the ongoing success of this primetime returning franchise, a typical example of the kind of programming that delivers maximum benefits across the Group; firstly it provides valuable IP for our distribution divisions to exploit internationally; and secondly it confirms the Group's presence in the non-fiction arena at a time when DCD is exclusively refocusing its production output onto this leading television genre on both sides of the Atlantic".

 

Bridezillas was launched in 2002 and has grown in popularity to become the flagship show for the Women's Entertainment channel in America. Each episode follows brides-to-be who turn into matrimonial monsters, going from sweet to certifiable while planning the wedding of their dreams. Season 9 will be produced out of September Films' LA office in Hollywood.
