ITV Studios-operated Asian broadcaster ITV Granada (ITVG) has acquired UK drama Doc Martin as its first third-party acquisition.

The deal, with distributor DRG, gives ITVG first-run broadcast rights to the third season of the Buffalo Pictures show for the Middle East and Asia. ITVG normally broadcasts ITV primetime dramas such as Monroe, Poirot and Lewis.

ITVG airs drama, entertainment and comedy programming in more than 5.5 million households across 15 countries in Asia and the Middle East.

Doc Martin will launch on June 26. The series, which stars Martin Clunes, is one of UK-based DRG’s most successful titles, having been sold into more than 200 territories and spun out formats in Spain, France and Germany. It airs in the UK on ITV1.
