The deal, which covers U.K. and Ireland, will see the SVOD giant releasing seasons of the show over the next year, with season one launching this month. Netflix also holds a non-exclusive SVOD deal in the U.S. for season one.

In addition to earning three BAFTA nominations, the TV show has proven a big success for CiTV –consistently ranked as the most-watched program for the channel — and the brand has expanded to include film, stage shows, games, radio, audiobooks and online, as well as a successful L&M program.
