Simon Beaufoy ("Slumdog Millionaire") will be the springboard for Planet Green’s first foray into scripted programming, with the Discovery-owned cabler planning the U.S. premiere of Beaufoy’s two-part telepic “Burn Up” Dec. 6-7.
Starring Bradley Whitford, Neve Campbell and Rupert Penry-Jones, “Burn Up” debuted last year on BBC2.
