The Guard patrols global beat
Networks in Latin America, South Africa, Finland and Belgium have acquired Canadian drama series The Guard, ahead of season two's debut in Canada later this month.
 A&E in Latin America, MNet in South Africa, YLE in Finland and RTBF in Belgium are the most recent to sign on the dotted line with the show's distributor Lionsgate Entertainment.
The deals take the show's total roll-out to 30 territories worldwide, following previous sales into France, Poland, Hungary and the Middle East.
"We've been extremely pleased with the reception The Guard has received internationally," said Craig Cegielski, executive VP of programming and sales, Lionsgate International Television.
The Guard stars Steve Bacic (Andromeda), Zoie Palmer (The Regans), Jeremy Guilbaut (Edgemont) and David James Elliott (JAG, Close to Home).
Produced by DHX-owned Halifax Film and Brightlight Pictures for Global TV in Canada, The Guard debuted in spring 2008. The second season will launch on Global on October 29.
