The U.K.’s Channel 4 has acquired rights to season one and two of Canadian public broadcaster CBC’s original drama “Coroner” from distributor Cineflix Rights.
Channel 4 will make the series available to U.K. viewers on its More 4 channel.
The deal follows The CW Network’s acquisition of “Coroner” for the U.S. market earlier this month, and comes as CBC announces the greenlight of season three of the drama, which is currently in pre-production.
Produced by Muse Entertainment, Back Alley Films and Cineflix Studios, “Coroner” (16 x 60′) follows a recently widowed, newly appointed coroner who investigates suspicious, unnatural or sudden deaths in Toronto.
The deal with Channel 4 was brokered by Sandra Piha, senior VP for sales and pan-regional for U.K., Eire, and Scandinavia at Cineflix Rights.
NBCUniversal International Networks has pay-tv rights to all three seasons of the series across multiple markets.
“Coroner” is inspired by the series of books by M.

Usually, they have pale skin and long buttercup hair. So is Disney's first ever black princess a good thing? Patricia Williams compares notes with a seven-year-old
So here's the thing: I am not a fan of Disney cartoons. Fantasia was the only Disney animation I ever truly enjoyed, what with hippopotamuses in ballet -shoes, the travesties of physics, the brilliant musical apotheoses. Otherwise, I just don't get it. I don't like anthropomorphism – the lisping dogs, chatty insects, flirtatious cats, Minnie Mouse and her inflatable bubble-gum shoes. I don't even like what passes for humanoids: the bloodless blond girls who never grow old, the leafy green boys who never grow up, the asexual dwarves, the flitty winged Tinkerbells.
Most of all, I have never liked princesses.
This puts me at odds with most of the rest of the world, of course, including my seven-year old friend Zara. And my friend Kathy,...
