Hot off the early morning presses in the U.S. but Netflix has officially closed the deal to acquire U.S. rights to Gillian Anderson's new BBC Two series, The Fall.

The deal was struck with Content Film & Television and is part of Netflix's new offering of both original and acquired series. While an official date has not been set for the U.S. airing of The Fall, TV Wise reports that it will be closely behind the series premiere on BBC Two this May.
