An integrated global marketing campaign drove more than 4.5 million viewers across FIC’s metered pay TV markets, including Australia, Singapore and Malaysia to tune-in to the series during its first season. 

We are thrilled to have another season of The Bridge.” said Sharon Tal Yguado, FIC’s EVP of Scripted Programming and Original Development. “The creators of the show have an exciting plan for season two which we can’t wait to share with the world.”
