Australia's XYZnetworks, Canada's Shaw Media and MTV Latin America are among the companies to acquire Mob Wives.

The show also has inspired a spin-off, Mob Wives: Chicago, which will premiere on VH1 this spring. Mob Wives: Chicago will introduce a new cast of mafia molls set at Al Capone's legendary Chicago home.
Over the weekend, Electus International also said that it had acquired the global distribution rights for three of Spike TV's reality shows: Flip Men, American Digger and Car Lot Cowboy, which is produced by Electus and 5x5 Media in association with Vern's Sweatshop Media. All three shows are available at NATPE.
