‘Carter’ is currently airing on Sony Pictures Television Networks platforms in Latin America, Central Europe, and Russia and has become a key utility player driving video starts in on-demand environments and impressive ratings growth on linear channels. For example, on Sony’s AXN networks in Central Europe, the series has reached over 3.5 million viewers and has been a big success in Poland.

‘Carter’ will debut on UKTV’s Alibi on June 13 and on SPT Networks in Spain and Portugal later this summer.

In an all-new episode, “Harley’s Got a Gun” (tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo), ‘Carter’ wants to learn how to use a gun and makes his housekeeper, Dot, give him shooting lessons. When they discover the body of a partner in a tech startup that was about to be sold for millions, everyone at the company becomes a suspect. Harley learns there’s still a big difference between himself and a trained police officer.

‘Carter’ follows Harley Carter the star of America’s top procedural TV show. When the years in the limelight and an endless blur of parties, premieres, and 16-hour workdays lead to a public humiliation on a red carpet, Harley returns to his small hometown in Canada to recharge. But a real-life murder case forces Harley to prove to the world – and himself – that he doesn’t just play a detective on television. ‘Carter’ also stars Sydney Poitier Heartsong as no-nonsense police veteran Sam Shaw and as street-wise, coffee truck owner Dave Leigh, Harley’s childhood friends.
