Super Channel has closed a deal with Portman Film and Television for a raft of imported titles, including ITV’s Kingdom and the BBC political drama Party Animals. Also included in the deal revealed on Tuesday are the hit Australian drama Sea Patrol, the New Zealand series Doves of War and Orange Roughies, and several movies.

The pay-TV channel launched this fall, and has been on the hunt for programming not already held by its competitors Movie Central and The Movie Network. It airs on Bell ExpressVu and was recently picked up by Rogers Cable.

‘There were so many terrific titles available from Portman that we felt would enhance Super Channel’s offering, we had to have this valuable resource for Canadians as we grow our viewing options,’ said Super Channel VP, programming Sandy Perkins in a statement. ‘With Portman, Super Channel will continue to bring Canadians the best the world has to offer.’
