Sony’s AXN HD, which operates on the Sky platform in Italy, will air the US series in November.

Scorpion, already renewed for a second season, is inspired by the true story of eccentric genius Walter O’Brien and his team of geeky misfits, who are brought together by an FBI agent to help fight high-tech threats to national security in cyberspace.

CSI: Cyber, the latest spin-off of the successful CSI franchise, joins the AXN line-up in 2016 along with NCIS: New Orleans, after premiering on CBS in the US.

Meanwhile NCIS: Los Angeles and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the third series in the Star Trek franchise, will join the AXN Network line-up from September. The latter will join Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: The Next Generation on AXN Sci-fi.
