Brit TV News Bits: Grantchester, Unforgotten & a New Adaptation of Vanity Fair


Here are a few tidbits about the return of two of Brit TV fans’ favorite series, plus news about the new small-screen adaptation of a classic English novel.

The real-life events that led to the downfall of a Member of Parliament aren’t laughing matters, but A Very English Scandal, the dramatization of said events, is very funny indeed.

Thirty programs from the UK, Canada, and Ireland, including 20 national premieres plus shows from Wales and Scotland, are coming to telly in July.

Summertime, and the streaming is easy… and so is watching British TV on broadcast and cable TV, given nearly 40 titles premiering, returning, and being added to schedules in June.

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.

More BBC TV titles arrived on Prime Video today — all of which are limited series, most of which are book-to-telly adaptations, and one of which is a US program premiere.

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.

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.

With the long weekend over and many folks wishing it weren’t, there is consolation, at least for Brit TV fans: the US premiere of both seasons of The Frankenstein Chronicles.

For the shortest month of the year, we certainly have a lot of British and Canadian TV premieres in the US. Let the bingeing begin!

Sky made announcements this morning about three upcoming series, and it’s a given that one will screen in the US. But there’s more besides Sky dramas coming up.
