The new American Britdrama Copper which just started Monday at 20:30 on TopTV's FX (TopTV 110) in South Africa has just been renewed for a second season.
Episodes of the 13 episode crime drama about an Irish immigrant policeman in New York in 1860 named Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones) follows very closely on the heels of the American broadcast.
"Copper has proven to be a perfect fit," said BBC Worldwide America's general manager Perry Simon in a press statement about the show which is broadcast in America on the BBC America TV channel. "Our viewers have made it our highest-rated series premiere ever and highest-rated drama series ever."
Copper is produced by Cineflix Studios in association with BBC America.
"The series is the beginning of many first and quality runs for our channels in this year," says Thandi Davids, Fox Africa director at Fox International Channels (FIC) Africa which runs FX, Fox Entertainment and Fox Retro in South Africa.
