The girls of Fountain Lakes are leaving the ABC nest and heading to Seven for a reported $3 million pay check. The next series will air later this year, and run for at least 8 episodes and will include high profile guest stars including Little Britain's Matt Lucas and Shane Warne.
The deal follows months of negotiations between the pair and rival networks, with the Seven deal not believed to be the highest offer, but chosen because of the higher potential audience.
Head of programming at Seven Tim Worner says, "These characters were born at Seven and Seven's going reasonably well at the moment,'' he said. "This will add to the momentum and obviously we're stoked about it.''
