TVNZ’s Head of Content, Jeff Latch says, “Kiwis have a huge appetite for international content, and these blockbuster shows have an unprecedented level of talkability. With our fast-tracked content, Kiwis will be a part of this global conversation.”

Viewers will be spoilt for choice with TVNZ Ondemand set to premiere a raft of exclusive content first and fast. Hot teen drama, Red Band Society will kick this off, available exclusively from thiscoming Wednesday (September 17).
