Spike to Bring U.S. Series to U.K.

U.S. series including "Breaking Bad," the fifth season of "The Walking Dead," "Justified" and "Sons of Anarchy" will be available to British TV viewers on free-TV for the first time.

Original commissions will also feature prominently on the network including "Police Interceptors Unleashed" (starring actor and former professional footballer Vinnie Jones), which will follow the work of the high-speed police interception unit, and "Tattoo Disasters UK," which will seek out some of the most painful examples of British body art.

Spike will also be the U.K. TV home of the mixed martial arts franchise Bellator MMA and has signed an exclusive deal with the British Association of Mixed Martial Arts to air its tournaments in a regular Saturday Fight Night feature.
