The Biggest British TV Week in Months...

Summers may be slow when it comes to new British TV releases, but the next week or so is going to be one of the best British TV weeks of the year so far. Below, we'll lay out what's in store for this entertainment-packed 9-day period (yes, we cheated a bit)... What we're... Watching: Blue Murder - This is a slightly older series (2003), but Caroline Quentin is brilliant as DCI Janine Lewis, a single mother who balances raising 4 kids and solving particularly difficult cases. Aside from the...

We've been getting questions for months, but at long last, we have an answer for those of you who've been waiting for the rest of season 3 of Beyond Paradise. BritBox has confirmed that the series will return on October 14th, with 6 hour-long episodes to be released over 6 weeks. Season 3 follows DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) as they balance foster parenting with new challenges—including the return of Martha’s old flame Archie (Jamie Bamber). The Shipton...

First off, big news for those who've been waiting eagerly for more Silent Witness and Beyond Paradise. BritBox has announced premiere dates for both! Silent Witness, Season 28: September 25th (10 episodes, aired weekly) Beyond Paradise, Season 3: October 14th (6 episodes, aired weekly) Cooler weather always seems to bring out more of the big premieres, so you can rest assured there will be plenty more great new shows to look forward to as autumn rolls in (and not just at BritBox). What...

Today brings some very interesting news from Cambridge - mainly, the fact that James Norton (Grantchester, Happy Valley) has been spotted on the set where they're filming the final season of Grantchester, which will air next year. Could it be that we'll see him putting in an appearance in the final season? According to Radio Times, there's nothing in the works and it was just a friendly visit...but you never really know until the new season actually airs. It would certainly be nice to know...

After our last newsletter mentioning the upcoming premiere of Return to Paradise on BritBox (Sept 2), we received a LOT of emails asking about when we could expect the new season of Beyond Paradise. Unfortunately, we don't have any updates on that right now. BritBox sent over information about August and some upcoming premieres, but unfortunately, nothing about Beyond Paradise. Please remember that we're just a news site - not a production company or streaming service - so we can only pass on...

Before we get into the regular "this week in British TV" and upcoming BritBox schedule, a few quick news-related updates: Code of Silence, which just premiered over on BritBox, has been renewed for a second series. BritBox has announced a date for the new Death in Paradise spin-off, Return to Paradise. It will premiere on September 2nd. BritBox has announced that the new crime drama Lynley is "Coming Soon" - no specific date yet, but it's great to know if you've been waiting for that one,...

To many people, Sherlock seems like a modern take on the Sherlock Holmes story - but you might be shocked to realise that this week marks 15 years since the series premiered. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the BBC series reimagined Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary detective in 21st-century London, complete with smartphones, GPS, and modern crime scenes. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as the brilliant but socially aloof Sherlock Holmes, with Martin Freeman as his loyal (and often...

If you enjoyed ViaPlay's recent Rebus reboot, we have great news for you - the BBC has picked up the series and a second season is in the works (no dates yet). Based on Ian Rankin’s bestselling novels and filmed around Edinburgh and Glasgow, the gritty crime drama follows DI John Rebus as he battles Scottish crime and personal demons in equal measure. Richard Rankin will return as Rebus in season two, which explores the links between Edinburgh’s violent drug world and its more polished legal...

Today marks 17 years since the premiere of Bonekickers - which really doesn't feel that old to me when I watch it. The series stars Hugh Bonneville (Douglas is Cancelled), Julie Graham (Queens of Mystery), and Adrian Lester (Hustle), and it dramatises the lives of archaeologists who see a bit more excitement than most. Sadly, there's just one season - but you can watch it HERE. UPDATE: Last minute news addition - As we were prepping this email it was announced that Grantchester is going to...

Amazon's annual Prime Day sales are this week, and as usual, that means a number of streaming channels have been heavily discounted. For us, this is always a great time to subscribe to services we want to try, or to catch up on shows we want to see on services we don't use enough to keep year-round. Amazon makes it easy to cancel when you're ready (no calls or customer service necessary, just a few clicks on the "Memberships and Subscriptions" section of the account), and if you use something...
