Break a Leg Gets Distribution Deal With FOX...

...Italy. That's right, boys and girls -- it took us a while to announce it but, here it is:

Break a Leg has been licensed by FOX Italy for play on their internet, mobile and TV channels. At least, theoretically. We have yet to find out where exactly it'll play, aside from their online space: www.floptv.tv -- but we hope that when this is all said and done that our names will be as popular in Italy as... wine and "Tony."

What does this mean for the show? Well, we hope it means a bigger audience. We hope it means massive success overseas. We hope it means FOX US will get horribly jealous and get us to make it or another show here in the States. But mostly it means the first season of Break a Leg will premiere in Italy, subtitled in Italian, sometime in the coming months.

I also think, at the sake of tooting my own horn (which makes the same sound a singing angel makes), that this is a great deal for web series as a whole. It gives networks a way to test how web series will do overseas with minimal risk and it lends even more credibility to our genre. You hear that, FOX US? Be hip, be cool, get Break a Leg on FOX now.

We've been lucky enough to get some press for the event and hope for more in the near future, so, here's a few write-ups/videos about the story:
