AUSTRALIANS will be able to see the new American version of the hit series Kath and Kim before it premieres on US television.
The debut episode of the American adaptation, starring Hollywood actresses Selma Blair and Molly Shannon, will be released for free download on iTunes a week before it hits US airwaves next month.
The development comes after US television network NBC Universal, which is behind the American version of the show, reached a deal with computer giant Apple to sell its series through iTunes. NBC removed its content from the online store last year in a dispute about pricing.
Apple announced this week that a wide range of NBC content would soon be available for sale (at $2.50 an episode) on the popular site, including The Office, Heroes and Battlestar Galactica.
NBC said it would offer the free premiere episode of the show and the season debuts of four other series - Knight Rider, My Own Worst Enemy, Lipstick Jungle and Life - a week before they are broadcast.
