Miami Vice
El Rey Network has acquired the rights from NBCUniversal Television & New Media Distribution to air all 111 episodes of the Emmy Award winning series Miami Vice. The series, which debuted on NBC in 1984, will join El Reys line-up beginning January 2015. The rights extend through December 2016.Miami Vice, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this fall, became appointment viewing on Friday nights and launched a national fashion trend inspired by the cool whites and colorful pastels worn by lead characters, Detectives James Crockett (Don Johnson) and Ricardo Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas).Miami Vice is the perfect addition to our lineup. Produced by acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann, it was groundbreaking when it first hit the air and the series’ distinctive cinematic look and feel reinvented the cop drama. It’s absolutely one of my personal favorites and it will find a whole new audience through El Rey, said Robert Rodriguez, the networks Chairman and Founder.
