Telly that bridges the Pond
October brings the highly-anticipated returns of two fan favorite shows, as well as UK program premieres in the US that are sure to please more than a few viewers.
From the creators of Shameless and CSI comes the new Anglo/Franco drama Spotless, which debuts in the US on the Esquire Network this fall.
The 2015 Fall TV Season kicks off this month with some of the most highly-anticipated British TV programs of the year. The ones in the title of this post, for a start.
China Miéville’s fantasy/crime novel The City & The City is being adapted into a four-part thriller serial for BBC Two.
Mark your calendars, because the third series of WPC 56, the popular (and terrific!) daytime drama from the BBC, is about to premiere stateside on public TV stations.
Martin Shaw and Lee Ingleby will soon be lighting up US broadcast airwaves, as George Gently is about to return to public TV stations with its seventh season.
Many fine actors have been cast in new dramas headed to BBC and ITV, including Amelia Bullmore, Kevin Doyle, and Keeley Hawes. Read on to find out who else is returning to telly.
After speaking with a friend in Morocco, where temps are around 115° F at night (!), highs in the 90s here don’t seem so bad, especially when we can chill out with some fab British, Irish, Australian, and Canadian series
Great news! Suranne Jones and Lesley Sharp are reuniting for Scott & Bailey, as ITV has commissioned a three-part special series of the BAFTA-nominated drama featuring the dynamic detective duo.
George Gently, one of the most successful British crime dramas to cross the pond, is about to return to the US with its seventh series. Woo hoo!
It’s noir-ish. Compelling. Riveting. It is Chasing Shadows, the ITV crime drama/mystery that will grip stateside viewers when it makes its US premiere.
Years ago, the summer months meant rerun city for telly. That isn’t really the case anymore, although there are fewer British (and Canadian) TV premieres this month than last.
