The remake of the cult sci-fi series V and the Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg-produced drama The Pacific are the highlights of the new Canal+ Series channel, launching in the Nordic region on April 1. Also included in the line-up are Mercy, House, 30 Rock and Heroes.
Although US series have long been an important part of the Canal+ mix, this is the first time they have been given a dedicated outlet, sitting alongside other genre specific channels covering movies and sports.
The Pacific is one of a number of HBO series that Canal will have access to in Scandinavia following a new three-year agreement with the US broadcaster.
