Ovation TV, America’s only arts network, has acquired the rights for the classic mystery series Hart to Hart from Sony Pictures Entertainment. The deal includes five seasons (110×60’) of the series as well as eight made-for-television movies (8×90’). The network will begin airing the series, starring Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers, on Wednesday, November 17 @ 7PM ET. Episodes will air back-to-back in four-hour blocks. The announcement was made today by Scott Woodward, EVP Programming and Production, Ovation TV.
Hart to Hart stars Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers as Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, a wealthy couple who lead a glamorous jet-set lifestyle and regularly find themselves working as un-paid detectives in order to solve crimes in which they become embroiled.
