RAI renewed the rights for ORF's “Fast Forward” Original series

In a move that underscores the long-term partnership, RAI has renewed the rights for all seven seasons of the ORF Original hit-series “Fast Forward” and also acquired the highly anticipated brand-new season along with four feature length episodes of the success series to Rai 4, the broadcaster’s dedicated channel for films and crime series.

The series had already been a huge success with audiences across the globe with sales to Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and Switzerland. Most recently, “Fast Forward” was licensed to Spain, the USA, Latin America and Italy.

“We are excited to see that our hit-series ‘Fast Forward’ continues to entertain Italian audiences in a re-run adding the brand new season 8 as well as the four feature length specials. As our valued partner for decades, we are proud that this ORF Original series found its home on RAI,” says Armin Luttenberger, Head of Content Sales International, ORF-Enterprise.

AN AUSTRIAN CLASSIC
The ORF Original hit-series “Fast Forward” tells the story of Angelica Fast, a divorced single mother who is a successful investigator at Vienna’s criminal investigation department. She masters the balancing act between her job and parental duties with wit and humor.

Over the course of seven seasons and four feature-length episodes, “Fast Forward” has claimed its position as one of the most profitable series in the content catalog of ORF-Enterprise and has long since become a TV staple for Austrian viewers.
