Sky has recently announced a deal with US cable network Showtime. Showtime, in case you’re losing track of which American producer does what, is the one that makes Homeland. It also co-produces (with and for Sky) Penny Dreadful and Episodes for BBC Two. Earlier Showtime productions include The Tudors, and American-set remakes of Channel 4 series like Queer as Folk and Shameless.
All of Showtime’s new programming, including the Twin Peaks revival, will air exclusively on Sky Atlantic, in an arrangement seemingly modelled on Sky’s longstanding deal with HBO (the makers of Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones).
