WGN AMERICA PARTNERS WITH ELECTUS INTERNATIONAL FOR GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OF "OUTLAW COUNTRY," NEW ORIGINAL DOCUSERIES FROM BISCHOFF HERVEY ENTERTAINMENT

Los Angeles, CA (February 18, 2015) - WGN America announced today that Electus International has been selected as its global distribution partner for "Outlaw Country," an original docuseries set to make its world premiere, Tuesday, February 24 at 10 p.m./ 9 p.m. CT on WGN America. The hour-long program is produced by longtime Electus associate Bischoff Hervey Entertainment (BHE TV), the team behind the franchise "The Devil's Ride."

"Electus is thrilled to partner with WGN America on its first unscripted drama," said John Pollak, President of Electus International. "Just as we have seen with other series in this genre, viewers around the world will be captivated by this unparalleled, in-depth look at an American subculture."

"Outlaw Country" features seven, hour-long episodes set in the town of Buckner, MO, which chronicles two rival sets of brothers, one from law enforcement and the other from the streets, hell bent on settling their longstanding vendetta once and for all. The highly-stylized, unscripted drama is a real life ride-along with a street crew, known as the Alliance, and the task force that's sworn to bring them down. Producers were given full access to both law enforcement and this group, living as modern-day "outlaws," providing an unprecedented look at criminal activity in a small town in crisis from both sides of the law.

WGN America recently announced a multi-platform rollout for the world premiere of "Outlaw Country," including the debut of the behind-the-scenes special "Outlaw Country: Bad Blood" airing on WGN America and Tribune Broadcasting stations nationwide; release of urban cowboy single "Good Ol' Boys" ("Outlaw Remix," inspired by "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme) from "The Maverick" Mikel Knight; and sponsorship of "Outlaw Country" EasyRiders 2015 Bikeshow Tour.
