Australia’s Channel Nine has picked up the “V” series remake.  In recent times the Science Fiction genre has not performed well on Nine with the most recent series “Fringe” disappearing from the schedule after just five episodes had aired.  The network cited scheduling issues associated with the US election that made it difficult to fast track episodes of Fringe.  Fast Tracking allows networks to air episodes of US shows a matter of days after airing in the US instead of months later.  It is not known at this stage if the V series will be fast tracked or aired at a later time.

Other shows picked up by Nine include “Eastwick”, “Past Life”, “The Forgotten”, “Miami Trauma”, “Hank” and “Middle”.
