New and returning British series headed to US telly include three book-to-TV adaptations, a new comedy from Ricky Gervais, and a high-end historical drama.

Coming in May for US Brit TV fans: 13 new shows and seasons, 40+ titles added to streaming services, plus programs related to and live coverage of the Royal Wedding.

Depending on how much time you can devote to video streaming, this list of BBC programs can fill days, weeks, or even months of your viewing schedule.

The weekend is nearly over (sigh), but if you have three hours between now and bedtime, consider binge-watching the psychological thriller limited series Born to Kill.

Amazon dropped 20 titles from the BBC’s archives into Prime Video a couple days ago, giving US viewers several days worth of adapted works to watch.

Add to your gotta-see-TV list Killing Eve, the spy thriller that BBC America renewed for a second season before the first has its worldwide premiere this evening.

Showers, shmowers. May flowers can wait, because eighteen new and returning programs arrive nationally on US telly in April. A few more will screen locally.

Following the cancellation of the miniseries’ debut during the BBC’s Christmas 2017 schedule, Ordeal by Innocence now has an air date in the UK.

Showtime is expanding its original programming to Saturday nights, starting with the addition of the five-part drama Patrick Melrose to its existing sports and movie offerings.

Stateside fans of Striking Out, rejoice! The second season of the hit Irish drama series Striking Out premieres in the US tomorrow, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

So much to watch, so little time. Am I right? This month there are fourteen national program premieres from the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and much more besides.

Kick start this week’s viewing with X Company, a gripping Canadian-Hungarian spy thriller set during World War II that will keep you glued to the telly.
