Sundance Now
The Dry was one of those shows initially picked up by ITV for BritBox UK as a series but not for BritBox U.S. (It debuted here on Sundance Now and AMC+.) The series, written by Nancy Harris, was developed from Element for RTÉ One and funded by the Broadcasting
AMC/AMC+
Given how much of our popular media focuses on the reign of England's Queen Elizabeth I, it's nice to finally see a story about what happened next. After all, her chosen heir, James I, was the first monarch to rule over a united England, Ireland, and
Apple TV
Hijack's first trailer is here, and it is demanding your attention. The first series from Apple TV+ to be told in a real-time format over seven one-hour episodes is anchored by action star Idris Elba in his first major role as a problem-solving badass since hanging up the
Disney/Hulu
The Clearing opens in isolation: A lone woman in a lake, disappearing below the water’s surface — a young girl walking home from school on a deserted country road. Even without reading the first episode’s summary, it is clear from the moment Sara (Lily LaTorre) engages with Amy (Julia
BritBox
Mystery series are a staple of the British entertainment industry, so much so at you might be forgiven for wondering if every English citizen just happens to be a part-time crime solver on the side. Because if you go by what you see on the screen in these series, pretty
Netflix
Once upon a time (because the best posts about romances always start that way), when an American show was a hit with audiences, that meant it would run for years. M*A*S*H, Cheers, Seinfeld, Friends; all ran for a decade or more. When Game of Thrones hit the

The CW
The CW isn't often the first network that comes to mind when you think of programming of particular interest to Anglophiles, but that may be changing quicker than many of us expected. The network is under new management, who appear eager to save money and reach a broader
Starz
Starz's time-traveling period drama Outlander has taken viewers everywhere from 18th century Scotland and France to 1950s America over the course of its six seasons to date, so it probably shouldn't surprise anyone that Season 7 will see the Fraser family embroiled in the American Revolution.
Sherwood
Sherwood Season 1 was one of the BBC’s biggest surprise hits of 2022. James Graham’s story, based on the real-life 2004 double manhunt in Sherwood forest, was a star-studded affair with a who’s who of British A-listers in the cast. Despite being billed as a true crime
Drama
Though Benedict Cumberbatch will always be Sherlock to PBS viewers, the Oscar-nominated actor is probably best known these days for his big screen roles, from playing Dr. Stephen Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to his haunting performance in Jane Campion's probably-should-have-been-a-Best-Picture-winner The Power of the Dog.
