Sci Fi will be the first UK TV channel to air Warehouse 13, it has been announced today.

After bungling a government case, a federal forensic accountant and an assistant U.S. attorney (played by Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly,) are banished to Warehouse 13, a storage facility where they must spend their days cataloging thousands of artifacts, relics and other odd detritus collected by our government over the centuries.

They quickly discover that each strange item has a story…and often the stories involve the supernatural, the extra-terrestrial, the fantastic and/or the downright bizarre.

“We’ve had a fantastic run of highly anticipated, much talked about premiere series on the channel this year – and Warehouse 13 is no exception,” said NBCU Global Network’s head of channels James Newton.

“There was a tremendous buzz ahead of its launch in the US and the first night ratings are testament to what a fantastic show it is. The special effects and exciting plot twists make it a real gem for our autumn schedule.”

This is another coup for the channel which has also premiered Knight Rider, Dollhouse and Heroes in recent years.
