ITV strikes deal with Disney Entertainment for two titles

ITV confirmed an agreement with Disney Entertainment making ITV the free-to-air home of the critically acclaimed drama “Under the Banner of Heaven” and season one of British comedy series “Extraordinary.” Launching in the first half of 2024, “Under the Banner of Heaven” will stream on ITVX, while “Extraordinary” will air on both ITVX and ITV2.

FX production “Under the Banner of Heaven” was created by Dustin Lance Black and stars Andrew Garfield and Daisy Edgar-Jones. The series was inspired by the true crime bestseller by Jon Krakauer, and follows the events that led to the 1984 murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter in a suburb in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah.

Meanwhile, comedy series “Extraordinary,” a Disney+ UK original production, written by series creator and co-executive producer Emma Moran, and executive produced by Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris and Charles Dawson, is set in a world where everyone develops a power on their 18th birthday. Everyone except for Jen (Máiréad Tyers).
