Critical’s Case arrives in NZ, Oz

Australia’s Network Nine and Prime in New Zealand have picked up a six-hour show about the murder of a six-year-old beauty queen.

The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey was produced by Tom Forman and Critical Content, the firm that emerged from Relativity Media TV’s operation.

The show, which re-examines the unsolved mystery of the little girl’s murder, is being sold by multimedia studio Electus’s sales arm, Electus International.

Global Television in Canada recently secured simulcast rights to the show, which premieres in the US on CBS on September 18. Electus International is also taking the show to Mipcom in October.

Cyrus Farrokh, senior VP of Electus International, said: “The JonBenét Ramsey murder sent shockwaves around the world and we are confident this series will resonate with viewers across the world.”
