High-quality Australian scripted series comes to UK on Alibi

18/07/2019

17 July 2019 Independent UK based distributor DCD Rights has sold leading Australian drama series, My Life is Murder, to UK broadcaster UKTV.

A new investigative drama series, My Life Is Murder (10 x 60), is a CJZ Production for Network Ten Australia, with major production investment from Screen Australia and Network Ten, in association with Film Victoria. DCD Rights led the sale and the acquisition was secured for UKTV by Charlie Charalambous, Acquisitions Manager. The ten-part series will debut in September on UKTVs crime drama channel, Alibi.

Nicky Davies Williams, CEO at DCD Rights, said, Australian drama has had somewhat of a renaissance lately and My Life Is Murder is a prime example of how the Australian content industry is still in its ascendency. This series is perfect for prime-time schedules and we are delighted that UK viewers will have the opportunity to enjoy Australian drama at its best.

My Life Is Murder follows the complex, contrary and compelling investigator Alexa Crowe (Lucy Lawless - Xena: Warrior Princess, Ash vs Evil Dead, Top Of The Lake, Spartacus), who cant help fighting the good fight - whether its solving murders or combating the small frustrations of everyday life. In each stand-alone episode, the fearless and unapologetic Alexa uses her unique skills and insights into the darker quirks of human nature to provoke, comfort and push the right buttons as she unravels the truth behind a raft of the most baffling of crimes.

As Alexa unmasks the hidden passions and dangerous secrets lurking in the energetic, ever-changing city of Melbourne she is ably assisted by ambitious twenty something Madison Feliciano (Ebony Vagulans - Doctor Doctor, The Letdown), who is not so quietly learning from the best - and her former boss, Detective Inspector Keiran Hussey (Bernard Curry - Wentworth, Faking It, Once Upon A Time), who enlists Alexa on his trickiest cases on the understanding it also means he gets to keep an eye on what shes up to. And then theres Alexas stubborn cat Captain Thunderbolt - Madisons nemesis, Keirans biggest fan and the one personality Alexa will never quite crack...

And at the centre of everything, in all her unrepentant, brilliant, fearless glory, is Alexa Crowe. Ultimately this is a show about a woman who just refuses to give in. Or give up. Or shut up.
