Seven will premiere US comedy Outsourced, set in a call centre in Mumbai where an American novelties company has recently outsourced its processing.

The NBC series premiered in the US a year ago and lasted for 22 episodes.

It stars Ben Rappaport, Rizwan Manji, Parvesh Cheena, Rebecca Hazlewood, Anisha Nagarajan, Diedrich Bader and Ken Kwapis.

Seven will screen double episodes from 10:30pm Thursday October 13th.

When manager Todd Dempsy returns to work he learns that his department has been outsourced to India and has to relocate. Then, when Todd reluctantly begins employee evaluations, the staff becomes nervous about their job security.

  1. For christ’s sake, 7, 30 Rock and Parks and Rec rated better in the states and they don’t get a chance at this timeslot. It’s ridiculous to put a critically panned, terrible, unfunny show that has a steady undercurrent of racism in a timeslot that could be better used for the likes of P&R, a show that’s destined for classic status.

  2. definately shouldn’t get a better slot than 30rock or P&R, but it will probably end up at 11:30 after a few weeks anyway because HIMYM (R) do well there.

    wonder where Happy Endings is, that one has been renewed and ABC has given it a post-modern family slot in the US, could be a real winner. summer i guess.

    @FlossAus. just because a show is axed doesnt might mean a timeslot demotion, but doesnt mean it needs to be completely chucked out. Suspect Bahaviour and LOLA were both axed when 7 started airing them and are still rating well. a full 22 epsiodes is still a decent amount of content. would you cancel plans to watch a movie just because there was not going to be a sequel?

  3. Seriously? Why do they suddenly decide to air it now? It didn’t do that well in the US, but i loved it and thought it was a funny show. Shame it only lasted a series.
