Absentia cast prepares for Monte Carlo TV Festival debut

For most Absentia fans keeping track, you’ll know that this is a huge weekend for the Sony series. Stana Katic, Patrick Heusinger, and the rest of the cast are in the fantastic city of Monte Carlo, preparing for their time in the spotlight at the Monte Carlo Television Festival! It’s one of the biggest events of its kind in the entire world, and it just so happens to be where the show is having its world premiere.

Below, you can see some cast members express their excitement about having their world premiere at Monte Carlo; it gives you a sense not only of the excitement for the series, but also the sense of pizzazz around the festival, as well. This could be a big weekend for the show as some early impressions start to come in, and also in the event that this offers up a chance for some American TV networks to further consider if they want to pick the show up. We’ve already stated our case for USA or TNT as possible options; this would certainly mesh well with the reveal that Showcase in Canada is airing the show. They are all of a similar vein when it comes to players within the cable world. (Based on the current dates that are out there, it looks as though fall is the likely premiere date for most territories.)

For those of you who love high fashion, there’s also a small glimpse of that in the video, as well. (We always get suit envy around these events.)

We should also add that this is also a big weekend for us, given that we’re going to be sitting down to watch the first episode soon, as well! There’s not going to be much that we can say about it for the time being, but rest assured that there will be a full review of that and much more when it gets closer to the episode airing. More than likely, we’ll prepare our coverage for the American or Canadian airings of the show. It can get a little confusing with multiple territories presumably airing it at specific times, but we’ll announce our intentions as we get a little closer to the time.

Of course, for the time being we suggest that you head over here to get some other news right now when it comes to the show! Hopefully, there’ll be more to report on this weekend. (Photo: Sony.)
