New Shows Coming to Acorn TV (US) in July - The new schedule includes new seasons of two favourites - Candice Renoir and Signora Volpe!

British Leads, American Shows
Summer is often a slow time for new British TV premieres in the US - and when you factor in the low episode count, it can leave you in a real TV drought. Though we prefer British TV, many wonderful British actors have crossed the pond to do American shows (and they have far more episodes, in most cases). Below, we look at a few you might enjoy...
- Forever (2014) - Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd (Harrow) stars in this series about an immortal NYC medical examiner who helps the police while also trying to discover a way to end his immortality. Judd Hirsch gives a solid performance as his adopted son and confidant. The CW
- Imposters (2017) - Rob Heaps (Home Fires) stars in this series about a man who finds out his wife is a con artist who's just taken him for all he's worth. Instead of giving up easily, he finds her previous targets and they set off to find her - and since they're all broke, they have to do a bit of conning to raise travel funds. Netflix
- Instinct (2018) - Scottish actor Alan Cumming stars as Dylan Reinhart, a psychology professor, author, and former CIA officer who consults with the NYPD on some of their strangest cases. Streaming rental or purchase on platforms like Amazon Prime, YouTube, Apple TV
- Billions (2016) - English actor Damian Lewis stars as hedge fund manager Bobby Axelrod, a clever but aggressive financier whose activities attract a lot of legal attention. Amazon Prime & Paramount+
- Succession (2018) - Scottish actor Brian Cox stars as patriarch Logan Roy, a man who stands at the head of a wealthy media conglomerate - and a greedy, scheming family who all want to be on top when dear old dad kicks the bucket. English actor Matthew Macfadyen also gives a memorable performance as Roy's son-in-law, Tom Wambsgans. Max (formerly HBO Max)
It's the covering of the tracks that always gets you in the end.
