Bridge sells overseas

E1 has extended its Bridge to Latin America and Europe, closing another handful of deals for its upcoming police drama.

The Toronto company said Monday that the 13 x 60 series has been picked up by Marathon/Double V for television in France, Germany’s Tele-Munchen Gruppe and by the Sony-owned AXN channels in Latin America, Italy and Africa.

The series is scheduled to run mid-season on CBS and CTV in 2009/10. E1 has another police series, Copper, which is set for ABC and Global.

The Bridge stars Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica) as the outspoken head of a police union, joined by Paul Popowich (Angela’s Eyes), Inga Cadranel (Rent-a-Goalie), Frank Cassini (Vice), Theresa Joy (Puck Hogs), Ona Grauer (Stargate SG-1), Michael Murphy (The Trotsky, X-Men: The Last Stand) and Stuart Margolin (Tom Stone, The Rockford Files).
