TV3's Red Rock signs huge deal with the BBC

TV3's soap Red Rock is going from strength to strength having previously sold the soap to streaming service Amazon Prime in the US, and now they have signed a deal with BBC Worldwide worth over €500,000.

A source told the Irish Independent that it hasn't been decided which BBC channel would show the IFTA winning show but that it would be a "prominent" slot, adding: "It proves that the programme has international appeal and is a great showcase for Ireland as so many scenes are filmed on outside locations. It's also a big stamp of approval for the cast and all the crew involved in it."

There's also talk of the soap airing more than twice a week as well as possible plans to not take a summer break this year.

So it's all go for Red Rock... don't feel bad Fair City, we still love you.
