Matt LeBlanc's 'Episodes' to air globally in 150 countries

Episodes's second season has been sold to 150 countries including France, Spain and Japan.

The sitcom follows British writer-producers Beverly and Sean Lincoln (Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan), who move to Hollywood to recreate their hit television series for the American audience, only to discover that life in Hollywood is not all they had expected.

Former Friends actor Matt LeBlanc, playing himself, gets the role in the Lincolns' show.

Other countries that bought the second season include Greece, Israel, Russia, Turkey, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal and Sweden, reports Deadline.

The programme's production company Hat Trick has also sold the series to areas in Africa, Asia, Benelux, Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Earlier this year, LeBlanc took home the Golden Globe for 'Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical' for his role.

Episodes, which ended its first season in February 2011, will return on July 1 on BBC Two in the UK and Showtime in the US.
