BBC America has acquired episodes of the UK version of Japanese business format Dragons’ Den for the first time since 2009.

The British edition of the series, which airs on BBC2 in the UK, will return to BBC America this week with the premiere of its 13th season (15×60′).

The network has also acquired seasons 11 and 12 of the Sony Entertainment-distributed series, which was remade in the US as Shark Tank for ABC.

The format sees entrepreneurs pitch for investment from five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

Forthcoming premieres on BBC America, which is owned by BBC Worldwide and AMC Networks, include Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency on October 22, Undercover on November 17, The Living and the Dead this fall, and Planet Earth II in winter 2017.

The network is also developing projects with talent including Amy Poehler, Natasha Lyonne, Neal Baer, and See-Saw Films, the producers of Top of the Lake.
