Working Dog sells Pacific Heat to Netflix for other territories

Working Dog’s upcoming ‘adult’ animation series Pacific Heat has been sold to Netflix, for territories outside Australia.

The series will still have its world premiere on Foxtel’s Comedy Channel, which commissioned the show in 2014.

Netflix will premiere in the US, Canada and UK on December 2nd, while Foxtel advises it will confirm a date for late 2016 soon.

Pacific Heat is an animated comedy series based on the exploits of a dynamic unit of undercover police investigators working on the glitzy “Gold Coast” of Australia. This glamorous, sophisticated, and sun-drenched paradise masks a hot-bed of crime; everyone from drug smugglers and biker gangs to eco-terrorists and the person who invented frozen yogurt. In order to tackle this seedy underbelly police authorities established “PacificHeat.” This covert squad of highly trained operatives technically does not exist (although they do have their own Facebook page), but when criminals strike, Pacific Heat will be there; unconventional, uncompromising and unafraid to operate outside the law – provided at least one of them is wearing a fluorescent safety vest. PacificHeat was created by the award-winning Working Dog team of Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Rob Sitch.
