Channel 4 are to air South African series Reyka in the UK, kicking off on 10 April, with all episodes being made available for streaming that night. Here's a trailer from when it was called Reyka. youtube.com/watch?v=H0E-0C4f…
I wasn't entirely convinced by Before We Die. There's now going to be a second season. Here's hoping it's an improvement.
The second season of The Flight Attendant is on the way. It's due 21 April in the US then sometime in May in the UK. Possibly very late May, to give the show a chance to finish in the US first? Here's a trailer. youtube.com/watch?v=aoJVlM1y…
New ITVX show Passenger will combine mystery, horror and comedy. It starts with an abduction then spirals off into "a series of strange and unnatural crimes." Andrew Buchan, co-star of Broadchurch has written the scripts.
Kicks off at 9.00 tonight. All four episodes streaming on Britbox from 9.30.
Holding, adapted from the novel by Graham Norton, was directed by Kathy Burke. Looks good! youtube.com/watch?v=9hRDudDx…
Also in the new cast are Rhys Yates, Martina Laird, Ian McElhinney, Max Rinehart and Hayley Mills. Hayley Mills!
Tonight!
Here's a trailer for The Sister Boniface Mysteries, Jude Tindall's new Father Brown spin-off. Coming to Drama on UKTV soon (but when, @UKTVPress?) and already streaming on Britbox in the US.
... directly opposite Grantchester. teapawt.net/ExtraDetective/status/…
Happy birthday to Douglas Adams, one of the most idiosyncratic mystery authors in modern literature.
ALT The cover of Douglas Adam's novel Dirk Gentl's Holistic Detective Agency.
Michael Connelly's Bosch is back in IMDB TV's Bosch: Legacy, streaming from 6 May. The only meaningful thing stopping this from being another season of 'original Bosch' is contractual jiggery pokery. youtube.com/watch?v=kJGAz3Is…
I believe the recent Hardy Boys show has yet to cross the Atlantic but US viewers will be able to stream its second season from 6 April. youtube.com/watch?v=giarLAOf…
Also on Britbox here in the UK next month are Murder Island and Mindhorn... which is about murder, on an island. They're also adding lots of Kavanagh QC with John Thaw right at the end of March.
In today's press release, @BritBox_UK tell us to expect Why Didn't They Ask Evans? on 14 April, which is two days later than this promo suggests - presumably meaning 12 April is the US release date. youtube.com/watch?v=IHcMlPCT…
Acorn's Queens of Mystery is getting a broadcast airing in the UK. Great! The first episode of the first series airs this Saturday night on Channel 5. channel5.com/show/queens-of-…
Right on the far right edge of this image, next to Sanjeev Bhaskar, is the actor playing the new detective, Sunny's new partner, in Unforgotten. Could it be Maxine Peake?
Guesses in the replies include Hermione Norris, Sharon Small, Keeley Hawes, Jodie Whitaker, Sinead Keenan and Sandi Toksvig. teapawt.net/ChrisLangWriter/status…
Read-through day! Pared down (Covid) but so lovely to be back in the room with the #Unforgotten team. And how fantastic to say hello to Sunny's new partner in crime, sitting there, right next to him, reaching for her tea, plain as day!! @TVSanjeev #Unforgotten @mainstreetpics
