Pivot Sets Jan. 29 Premiere for Stanley Tucci Drama ‘Fortitude’

[Little Star]

Starring Stanley Tucci as an expert forensic detective, the Arctic-set psychological thriller explores the small town of Fortitude, as mystery and suspicious grows after a brutal and shocking murder.

The entry into edgy scripted drama territory is a big priority for Pivot, the indie cabler owned by Participant Media that launched in 2013.

“Fortitude” is a co-production with Sky Atlantic and was filmed in Iceland and the U.K. The cast also features Michael Gambon, Richard Dormer, Christopher Eccleston, Sofie Gråbøl, Jessica Raine, Luke Treadaway, Nicholas Pinnock, Verónica Echegui and Johnny Harris.

“Fortitude” will open with a special two-hour episode.

I can't remember if I have Pivot back home I hope so, this looks good.

1. Ha! I just looked it up and....

my Verizon Fios does carry Pivot on channel 192. Now all I have to do is ask my daughter to go to my house & set it up on my dvr.

2. Oh thanks!

We have Fios so I'll check to see if we also get Pivot. That cast looks amazing so I want to check this one out!

Thanks for the heads up.
