ITV & Disney Expand Content Pact With Hulu Shows ‘The Stolen Girl’ & ‘The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox’

ITV and Disney are deepening their content sharing pact in the UK.

Following on from their streaming pact, which sees limited amounts of content from one past to the other’s streaming service, a pair of Hulu originals will run on the ITV1 broadcast network.

Debuting tomorrow is The Stolen Girl, the Quay Street Productions and Brightstar drama that launched on Disney+ in April last year. Following that later in the year is The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, which will also play on ITV1.

The Stolen Girl series follows a mother whose young daughter goes missing after a sleepover, unfolding into a story of deception, family secrets, and betrayal. 

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is a drama that explores the real-life murder case that captivated global audiences, examining themes of media scrutiny, justice and public perception.

Both shows will be broadcasted under the brand ‘Disney+ presents a Hulu Original’ on ITV.

This is the latest example of local TV networks working with global players to build out their content offers. In July last year, Disney+ added a ‘Taste of ITVX‘ rail and ITVX added a ‘Taste of Disney+’ rail, providing a curated portion of the other’s content for their own streaming services.

Karl Holmes, General Manager, Disney+ EMEA, said: “This marks an exciting next step in our collaboration with ITV. We’re thrilled that two of our most compelling original series will air on ITV’s powerful primetime platform, introducing millions more viewers to Hulu Originals on Disney+.”

Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of Media and Entertainment, added: “We are delighted to be deepening our relationship with Disney. Bringing these premium Original series into our primetime linear schedule is fantastic for ITV audiences. This extension perfectly complements our existing relationship and showcases the strength of the content-sharing model we established last summer.”
