Britbox announced their upcoming programming slate during TCA Week! Here’s an overview what to expect on the streaming service including original programs and favourites like Sherwood.

Sherwood 

Hailed by critics as one of TV’s greatest dramas of recent years, this drama centers on the tense and heart-wrenching investigation of two shocking  killings that took place in award-winning playwright and dramatist James Graham’s own hometown of a Nottinghamshire mining village. The story first debuted to over six million viewers on BBC One and is recommissioned as six 60 minute installments to tell new stories from the communities of the ‘red wall’ towns, the controversial deployment of so-called ‘spycops’ and how seismic ripples from the past can come back to haunt the present.  Premiering on October 4, 2022.

Karen Pirie

This crime drama series is based on Val McDermid’s first Karen Pirie novel, “The Distant Echo” which finds DS Karen Pirie ( Lauren Lyle, Outlander ) reopening an unsolved murder of teenager Rosie Duff (Anna Russell-Martin, Casualty) in 1996 and the three drunken college students — Sigmund ‘Ziggy’ Malkiewicz (Jhon Lumsden, Pancake) Tom ‘Weird’ Mackie (Jack Hesketh, Besa) and Alex Gilbey (Buom Tihngang, Death In Paradise) — who claimed to have found her body at the scene of the crime. Due to a lack of forensic evidence, no charges were brought and the investigation floundered. Can DS Karen Pirie finally uncover the truth and bring peace to Rosie’s family after all these years? Karen Pirie is commissioned in the UK by ITV and produced by World Productions, part of ITV Studios.
Premiering in October 2022.

Baird (Stan & Ollie,Vinyl) and produced by Ruth Kenley-Letts (The Midwich Cuckoos, CB Strike) and Ellie Wood (The Dig, Decline & Fall).

While the police investigate his disappearance and their own sons grieve the loss of their father, Darwin lives right next door to his wife, regularly visiting her through an interconnecting passage. Eventually he assumes a fake identity and leaves the country to invest in money making schemes. But when that grows tired he returns to England and fakes amnesia at the police station.

The Curse

This almost-true crime caper inspired by the Brink’s-Mat robbery at the Heathrow International Trading Estate in 1983, is a hilariously, bumbling string of stupidity and bad judgment that somehow rewarded 6 small-time crooks with millions of dollars worth of gold.

Archie

Everyone knows Cary Grant (Jason Isaacs), but how many know his harsh start as Archibald Alexander Leach whose troubled childhood begins in Bristol, England where he lived in poverty, suffered the loss of his brother, was abandoned by his abusive father and left with his emotionally unavailable mother.

Inspired by the stories of Sir Lenny Henry’s mother, Winifred, the six-part drama follows fiery sisters Leah and Chantrelle and their God-fearing acquaintance, Hosanna, as they leave Jamaica for Britain to build a new life. When the reality of British life in London’s Notting Hill brings them down with a bump, they make a beeline for the Midlands.

Her car is found abandoned and there are traces of blood on the seats. But the village barely has time to register Katie’s disappearance before she reappears the next day, safe and sound. While the villagers are relieved that all’s well that ends well, Former Met Police Detective Riya Ajunwa, an outsider and a kind of passenger on this crazy ride, knows that none of this sits right. As a series of strange happenings and increasingly horrific crimes unfold, the residents spread short-sighted theories and blame outside influences including Riya. Produced by the award-winning SISTER (This Is Going To Hurt, Chernobyl, Landscapers) for ITVX, ITV and BritBox International. Passenger is commissioned by ITV for airing on ITVX in the UK.

The Cleaner Season Two 

It’s the cops’ job to clean up the city, but it’s state-certified cleaning technician, Paul ‘Wicky’ Wickstead, who cleans up the crime scenes in this truly arresting comedy written and starring BAFTA-winner Greg Davies. In each episode, Wicky encounters many big personalities, all in the wrong place at the wrong time. And as his luck will have it, there’s also a pub in desperate need of mopping up. Series 2 is written by Greg Davies and one other co-writer per episode made up of a combination of established and emerging comedy talents – Paul Allen, Ronan Blaney, Barry Castagnola, Meg Salter and Mike Wozniak. The Cleaner is a SHUK production for BBC One written by and starring Greg Davies based on ‘Der Tatortreiniger’ created by Mizzi Meyer. BBC Commissioner is Ben Caudell. The Exec Producer is Vivien Muller-Rommel and the Producer is Sam Ward. 

Crime Season Two

Troubled detective Ray Lennox (Dougray Scott) returns to Edinburgh’s Serious Crimes team, after decompressing from his last investigation only to be thrown into an urgent investigation sparked by the death of a high-ranking member of the establishment. As more victims are added to the case, Lennox realizes these are anything but random and a serial killer is on the loose. The six-part drama was adapted from the best-selling novel by one of Scotland’s greatest living writers, Irvine Welsh. Scripted by the Trainspotting author alongside screenwriting partner Dean Cavanagh. Produced by Buccaneer Media and Off Grid Film and TV, and

scripted by Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh alongside long-standing screenwriting partner, Dean Cavanagh, the six-part drama will be a BritBox International and ITVX premiere. Crime season two is an ITV commission for ITVX in the UK. 

Hope Street Season Two

This uplifting original crime drama, set in a small town in Northern Ireland, centers on English DC Leila Hussain (Amara Karan), the first Muslim officer in the town’s history and her partner, Inspector Finn O’Hare (Ciarán McMenamin). In each self-contained episode, the duo infuse themselves into the community’s daily life while investigating crimes with (and sometimes without) the local police. Commissioned by BritBox, along with BBC and BBC Northern Ireland.

The Responder Season Two

Written by an ex-police officer, The Responder holds a mirror up to the emotional extremes of life on the front line of British policing – sometimes darkly funny, sometimes painfully tragic, always challenging. Chris Carson (Martin Freeman), is a crisis-stricken, morally compromised, unconventional urgent response officer tackling a series of night shifts on the beat in Liverpool. Whilst trying to keep his head above water both personally and professionally, he is forced to take on a new rookie partner Rachel (Adelayo Adedayo). Both soon discover that survival in this high pressure, relentless, night-time world will depend on them either helping or destroying each other. The Responder is written by Tony Schumacher and produced by Dancing Ledge Productions, part of Fremantle, originally for BBC One. 

Sister Boniface Season Two

Sister Boniface (actress and comedian Lorna Watson) is back with her Vespa and her multipurpose lab (wine or forensic testing, what’s your poison?) for a new season of this quirky, cozy mystery. Born from a character on Father Brown, the Agatha Christie-reading nun helps the police nab killers in the community of Great Slaughter, a little town with a predestined name and a huge body count. Commissioned by BritBox International and produced by BBC Studios Drama Productions.

Grace Season Three

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace (John Simm), haunted by the disappearance of his wife, is back for a third season where he races against time to solve a variety of criminal cases generally involving  suspicious deaths or murders. The detective thriller series is an adaptation of the bestselling novel of the same name by international award-winning author Peter James. Episodes one and three will be written by Ben Court and Caroline Ip, with Ed Whitmore writing the second episode. The new season will roll out as three feature length films.  Grace season three is commissioned by ITV and is co-produced by Tall Story Pictures, part of ITV Studios, and Vaudeville Productions.

Roy Grace isn’t a private investigator – he’s a Detective Superintendent as mentioned at the start.  He also doesn’t just investigate missing persons but a variety of criminal cases generally involving suspicious deaths or murder.  I’d also say the show is more of a detective thriller than mystery series.  

The Bay Season Four

Now entering its fourth season, The Bay has been praised for its diversity both on screen — for its accurate and moving portrayal of the funeral of a young Muslim man — and off screen by casting Nadeem Islam, a young deaf newcomer, as Jamal Rahman. Set in Morecambe Bay in England’s Lancashire County, the series follows DS Jenn Townsend (Marsha Thomason from Cobra and White Collar) as she investigates missing persons along with her team including: D.I. Tony Manning (Daniel Ryan Innocent, Home Fires), D.S. Karen Hobson (Erin Shanagher, Peaky Blinders, Censor), D.C. Eddie Martin (Thomas Law, The World’s End, A Cinderella Story) and D.S. James Clarke (Andrew Dowbiggin, Cobra, Coronation Street).  S4 promises to deliver the quick-paced twists and turns that have attracted the most discerning mystery fans. The Bay season four is commissioned by ITV and produced by Tall Story Pictures. 

Shetland Season Seven

Based on the best-selling books by award-winning crime writer Ann Cleeves, Shetland follows Detective Jimmy Perez and his team as they investigate crime within the close-knit community of the Scottish Shetland Islands. Jimmy and his investigation team race against face-moving twists and turns to unravel the mysterious crimes that take place.

One of the biggest joys of the Pandemic was discovering INDIAN MATCHMAKING! Season Two of this Reality Dating Series now is before us with eight new episodes, and where has the time gone? Once again in this upcoming season, we join renowned Matchmaker Sima Taparia as she continues her efforts to help some of our singles from Season One who are still experiencing tough luck in the pairing department. She continues to trust her instincts, guiding these men and women with a tried, tested and true method, still consulting with Astrology and face readings occasionally from Sushil-Ji.

We reunite with the particular Aparna, who in addition to searching for the right new condo, still is looking for and she just might have finally met her match. But will her list of demands lead to sabotage? We meet the handsome and eligible Akshay, an heir to a chicken empire who lives out in a remote part of India, making it tough for him to find love, though we learn there might be some unresolved issues of the past and mystic forces behind that. New to the mix is Viral, a super-successful woman who works in Pharmaceuticals but has found her success wards-off potential suitors as she’s intimidating. Like Aparna, she is very clear who she wants and doesn’t want. Do you believe she gets set-up with a guy also named Viral? And how can we forget lovable Nadia, who’s so eager to find love but just keeps facing rejection? These and so many more storylines on Season Two including check-ins from some of those no-longer-singles we met in Season One. And even factors in the Pandemic. One couple nervously share a drink but only after discussing that they’ve been tested prior to filming.

Passions flare and frustrations grow, and we found ourselves drawn right back in so easily. We want these people to fall in love but also is it awful that we don’t so we can keep following their journeys? Luscious backdrops, intimate moments and of course Sima‘s maternal wisdom keep us coming back for more.

INDIAN MATCHMAKING Season Two premieres August 12, 2022 on Netflix.

We loved him so much in Academy Award-winning Best Picture MOONLIGHT and have been waiting ever since for him to come back! Andre Holland finally returns to Toronto and currently is working on Apple TV+ Series THE BIG CIGAR, directed by Don Cheadle.

Holland gained widespread accolades for his performances as the grown-up Kevin Jones in MOONLIGHT, Andrew Young in Ava DuVernay‘s SELMA, Rebecca Hall‘s PASSING and also starred in American Horror Story: ROANOKE as Matt Miller. All the while, he has been busy at work on-stage on and off Broadway. And now this deserved starring role as Huey P. Newton in the Biographical Series about the Black Panther Party’s leader and his attempt to escape to Cuba.

So happy I finally got to meet him Holland who was out and about for a stroll. MOONLIGHT is definitely one of my favourite Films of the last ten years, so this means a lot to me.
