In Europe, the show has been sold in such territories as Germany (where it will air on Prosieben), Austria (ORF), Italy (Fox), Spain (Mediaset), Turkey (Digiturk), Czech Republic (NOVA) and Belgium (Telenet).

In Asia, the studio reports that its pan-regional channel AXN Asia, will air the series across 20 territories including India, China, Hong Kong and across South East Asia.
