LONDON and MUNICH, Germany, October 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



- The First And Only Place To Watch The Show In The UK - Available OCT. 25 -



LOVEFiLM, an Amazon company, and Tandem Communications (a Studiocanal company) have
today announced that the highly-anticipated, new global crime-drama, "Crossing Lines",
from producers Tandem Communications ("The Pillars of the Earth", "World Without End") and
Bernero Productions ("Criminal Minds", "Third Watch"), will be available to stream
exclusively on LOVEFiLM in the UK from October 25th 2013.



UK TV fans will be able to experience the action-packed show - which premiered in
prime time on NBC in the U.S. in June - for the first time with the entire hit series
available to watch instantly on LOVEFILM. The second season of "Crossing Lines", which
recently began production, has also been picked-up for exclusive availability on LOVEFiLM
at a future date to be announced.



Starring* William Fichtner ("Prison Break", "The Lone Ranger"), Golden Globe(R)-winner
Donald Sutherland ("The Hunger Games", "The Italian Job"), Marc Lavoine ("The Good Thief",
"My Wife is an Actress"), Tom Wlaschiha ("Game of Thrones", "Brideshead Revisited"),
Gabriella Pession ("Wilfred", "Jesus") and Richard Flood ("Titanic: Blood & Steel", "Three
Wise Women"), "Crossing Lines" taps into - and extends - the real life mandate of the
International Criminal Court to investigate serialised cross-border crimes and hunt down
global criminals. Joining the ensemble star-studded cast in season two are new recurring
guest stars, Carrie-Anne Moss ("Vegas", "The Matrix") and Ray Stevenson ("Dexter", "The
Book of Eli"). Lara Rossi ("Life of Crime", "Murder: Joint Enterprise"), introduced at the
end of season one, joins the cast as series regular.



"Crossing Lines" was created by critically acclaimed producer Edward Allen Bernero,
whose previous work includes the Emmy Award(R)-winning "Third Watch" and Emmy
Award-nominated "Criminal Minds". Bernero and Tandem President Rola Bauer serve as
executive producers.

"Crossing Lines" in the UK, and we think our TV fans are going to be completely captivated
by this European police drama."
