After the success of the first season in its native France,[1] a second season was commissioned,[2] which premièred on France 2 on 1 October 2014 with 13.5% of the viewing audience.[3] While prime time viewing figures were disappointing, combining those with on-demand numbers led to a more stable audience.[citation needed] A third series was subsequently commissioned.[4] It was broadcast in France in October–November 2016.
In December 2015 it was announced that Spin would air in the UK on More4.[5] The show premiered on 8 January 2016 and the two existing seasons were broadcast consecutively on a weekly basis. The third and final season was broadcast in April–May 2017.
