Starz Entertainment in the US acquires both seasons of the live-action series Connor Undercover (39x30) in a deal with Shaftesbury Sales Company, the distribution arm of Shaftesbury. This follows Starz\'s recent purchase of Shaftesbury\'s kid/family targeted TV movie Vacation with Derek and tween aimed series Baxter. Connor Undercover and Baxter are set to premiere on Starz Kids & Family channel on March 1, 2011, which will be followed by the debut of Vacation with Derek on March 6. Connor Undercover is co-produced by Shaftesbury and Heroic Film Company.
Does this mean that Vacation With Derek will not be airing on Disney Channel? I read it was going to air in December but never did.
Nope, Shaftesbury sold the US rights to Starz.
I\'m watching it right now on Starz on Demand, and Disney Channel likely passed on it after they saw a certain scene...
[spoiler]They don\'t show anything, but in one scene Derek walks in on Lizzie and Casey\'s grandma skinny dipping in the lake[/spoiler]
