Fox International Channels (FIC) that runs amongst others, Fox Entertainment and Fox FX on TopTV in South Africa have partnered with Graham King's GK-tv, Gale Anne Hurd's Valhalla Entertainment and FX Productions for a new period TV drama entitled Port Royal.
Long story short, it means that there's a very high likelihood that TopTV subscribers will get to see the hourlong Port Royal drama in the not too far away future on FX (TopTV 110). Port Royal is set in te late 17th century on the island of Jamaica and is centered around the notorious port city's rise as ''the richest and wickedest city in the world'', and a ''haven for cutthroat pirates, corrupt politicians and ruthless merchants''.
''We are delighted to be partnered with a network that never shies away from provocative storytelling, which is ideally suited to the decadent and dangerous world of Port Royal,'' says Craig Cegielski, president of GK-tv in a press release.
''I've long been a fan of FX's original programming, and I'm thrilled Port Royal has found a home with them,” says creator, Gale Anne Hurd. ''I'm looking forward to working with FX to make the show I've envisioned, and one that fits in perfectly with their incredible slate. I couldn't be more excited to be working with FIC again after our unbelievable success with The Walking Dead.''
