Disney and U.K. media conglomerate ITV have extended their strategic content-sharing partnership with two new titles.
“The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox” and “The Stolen Girl,” both Hulu Original series, are set to air on ITV1 in primetime slots as well as the broadcaster’s streaming platform ITVX. They will be broadcast under the brand “Disney+ presents a Hulu Original.”
Psychological drama “The Stolen Girl” will air first on Feb. 25. Produced by Quay Street Productions with Brightstar it follows a family whose young daughter goes missing during a sleepover. It first debuted on Disney+ in April 2025.
“The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox” follows later in the year, dramatizing a case that gripped audiences on both sides of the Atlantic after a young British exchange student is found murdered in Italy and her American roommate is soon arrested for her murder.
The two platforms first inked a licensing deal in 2023 before expanding to a cross-promotional initiative that saw each streamer publicize the other under banners titled “Taste of ITVX” and “Taste of Disney+,” enabling viewers to watch curated titles from the other’s service.
In recent weeks Disney has also signed a multi-year deal with U.K. broadcaster Sky, which will see Disney+ bundled with other platforms including Netflix and HBO Max in a money-saving deal for Sky customers as well as launching a Disney+ Cinema linear channel on the broadcaster’s EPG.
“This marks an exciting next step in our collaboration with ITV,” said Karl Holmes, general manager for Disney+ EMEA. “We’re thrilled that two of our most compelling original series will air on ITV’s powerful primetime platform, introducing millions more viewers to Hulu Originals on Disney+.”
Kevin Lygo, ITV’s media and entertainment MD, said: “We are delighted to be deepening our relationship with Disney. Bringing these premium original series into our primetime linear schedule is fantastic for ITV audiences. This extension perfectly complements our existing relationship and showcases the strength of the content-sharing model we established last summer.”
