[tweetmeme]Lots and lots of UK premiere dates for the Autumn/Winter 2012/2013 season and beyond! As always, if there's a US or cult show you'd like to see a UK air date for, just leave it in the comments, and i'll do my best to find it for you. :)

Shows in this colour are the latest updates! Shows in this colour are returning for part 2 of a season.

TIPS FOR POSTING It is always extremely helpful when people post dates, times and information below. It is useful in keeping the list as current as possible and makes for a great community spirit. But when posting, please remember the following: 1) Use full programme titles. As instantly recognisable as abbreviations may be to someone who watches that show, to someone who doesn't, it is just a meangingless collection of letters that has to be looked up 2) If a bit of information is a rumour, please say so - we can list it as such, pending confirmation 3) If something comes from a reputable source, please quote that source, so we all know it is not just a rumour.

Thank you.

(TBC) = To be confirmed. If a show is listed as (TBC) this means it's either not an official date from the channel, or is subject to change.

17 June 2013 at 9:00pm

This penultimate season 6 has a final 12 episode season 7, by which time Michael Westen and friends will have been “stuck” in Miami for 7 years… To be fair it is probably time he managed to leave! ;)

No exact date/time - Summer 2013
 (TBC)

Very hard to say when Rules of Engagement is likely to return as the 13 episode season 7 is airing as a mid-season replacement (that’s early 2013 usually) in the US, rather than its normal Autumn (aka Fall) slot.

No exact date/time - Summer 2013

Usually returns in Spring, but seems to be getting later and later in the year. Series 7 is recorded, but not showing up on the broadcast listings yet.

Set List, Season 1 - Sky Atlantic
No exact date/time - Summer 2013

New stand up improvised comedy show where the cream of the comedy circuit are presented with the ultimate challenge: come up with a brand new routine on the spot based on topics presented to them right there and then.

July 2013

No exact date/time - July 2013
 (TBC)

Season 3 started airing Oct 2012 in the US, but Sky held season 2 till July, so I think there’s a fair chance they’ll do the same with season 3.

No exact date/time - July 2013

Season 3 aired in Feb in the US, and is only 13 eps… and that could very well be your lot as its ratings in the US are not good, currently very much ’50/50′.

Smash, Season 2 - Sky Atlantic
No exact date/time - July 2013

Airs in America on Feb 5th 2013, but Sky are saying July, so i’m guessing the deal with NBC only allows them to air it after the US run ends…

No exact date/time - July 2013

07 July 2013 at 9:00pm

The eighth season is probably the last of Dexter and Fox will be bringing us to Miami within days of the Americans

August 2013

The Newsroom, Season 2 - Sky Atlantic
No exact date/time - August 2013
 (TBC)

Season 1 aired a few weeks after the USA on Sky Atlantic, and given The Newsroom is one of the larger HBO shows, I suspect they’ll do the same with season 2. Airs in July 14th in the US, so it’ll should July/Aug over here.

No exact date/time - August 2013
 (TBC)

One of the TV talent contests – return guess based on last year’s series.

No exact date/time - August 2013

In the case of Britain and France, there is no bridge of course, so this time it is called The Tunnel. Will air on Canal + en France and Sky Atlantic for UK satellite viewers

 (TBC)

New American political thriller recently bought by Channel 4 in the UK. Season 2 guesswork for now.

A third year of funny relationship woes.

No exact date/time - Autumn 2013
 (TBC)

True Blood used to air in Jan/Feb, but FX/Fox UK moved it up to Sept be closer to the US air date, so we had 2 seasons in 2012. That means it’s likely to be a wait till Sept again, unless Fox can push it even closer to the June 9th 2013 US air date this year. It’s a shorter 10 episode season this time due to Anna’s pregnancy.

No exact date/time - Autumn 2013

Karl Pilkington sets out to discover the answers to some of the hard questions in life.

No exact date/time - Autumn 2013

No exact date/time - October 2013

Couple of Notes on Commenting…

If your asking about an air date show, please make sure it isn’t in the list already. Easiest way to do this is to use your browser’s ‘Find’ function (‘Ctrl & F’ on a PC, ‘cmd and F’ on a Mac).

Also, if you’re asking for a returning air date, it really helps me out if you know which channel it’s airing on currently to post that in the comment.

I know a lot of the TV shows, but the more info you can leave me, the easier it is for me to check. :)

  1. Diana says:

    Erm what the hell….Teen Wolf has been dropped? Since when? That show has bee a hit for sky living and they are dropping it…I don’t understand. Will another channel pick it up?

    • Dave Dave says:

      I afraid it is true, confirmed on their facebook page a few days ago… No idea why, but I can only assume it wasn’t doing the numbers for them… No news on another channel picking it up yet.

      • Andrew Andrew says:

        Whilst online opinion of avid teen wolf fans will range from depression to vitriol, the glass-half-full view is that there is another slot available for some of this year’s exciting new potential acquisitions, the beginning of which process is happening as we speak.

  2. Jess says:

    Any idea what sonytv is playing at with community, it didn’t air on Friday night ?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      No, episodes 9-12 aired on the 28th, which is a Saturday.

      Episodes 13-16 will air on the 25th, also a Saturday.

      Episode 17 on the 31st- a Friday.

      Episodes 18, 19 & 21 on the 1st- a Saturday again.

    • YJ815 says:

      2 episodes aired on Friday instead of the 4 a week they had been doing

      • Andrew Andrew says:

        No episodes aired on Friday.

        Four episodes aired early on Saturday morning last week and will do so again this week.

        Series links should pick up the variations though.

  3. aaronjoannides says:

    is there an air date the walking dead season 3 on channel 5 would love to go through season 3 again before season 4 later in the year

  4. vicky says:

    when is the new series of castle going to be aird on channel 5 ? and when will season 10 of ncis be shown on channel 5?

    i cant live without my fav shows!!!

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Castle series 5 is currently airing on alibi. The second run will be on Channel 5 next year.

      NCIS series 10 is currently airing on Fox and I would guess the second run will air on Channel 5 later this year, but I haven’t seen it confirmed.

  5. aaronjoannides says:

    what are the odds that Intelligence will air here it like darker chuck with a person of interest style vibe

  6. karen bail says:

    Any news on the 2nd series of the cafe that was on sky 1 thank you.

  7. Andrew Andrew says:

    For those who are interested, the crossover episode of CSI:NY season 9 will air on Tuesday in the regular CSI slot on Channel 5.

    The CSI part will air a day earlier on Monday 20th.

    This is of particular note for those who record CSI on a series link as this may only pick up one of the episodes.

    • Sinead says:

      Thanks for this. Was wondering how they were going to work the crossover episode. Hopefully we will get CSI NY sooner rather than later seeing as it’s the last season now.

      • Talula says:

        I’ve probably missed something but I’m a little confused. So we’re getting a crossover episode of csi with csi ny but not having csi ny airing regularly here yet? And which episode of csi ny is this crossover of is it gonna be plucked from the middle of the season we haven’t even started to watch yet? :/

        • Andrew Andrew says:

          It’s the same as the triple crossover a couple of years ago. Together the two episodes make a standalone story.

          The CSIs are procedural with almost zero serial element so an episode out of sequence won’t matter.

          The NY episode is 15 and the rest of the series will be back later in the year.

  8. Jo says:

    Hi
    I can’t believe sky living has dropped Teen Wolf. Has anyone heard why? Or who might pick it up?

  9. also family guy season 11 is returning in july according to the bbc three website

  10. aaronjoannides says:

    please may you add the reality show the hero hosted by dwayne the rock johnson i don’t usually like reality shows but looking forward to this one cause i like the rock

  11. Liam halls says:

    Hi there

    Does anyone know a safe site where I can watch episodes of new pretty little liars, parenthood, drop dead diva and army wives?

    Getting so tired of sky dropping my favourite shows to put on crap reality shows and shows that get cancelled?

    Thanks

  12. Terry says:

    Is there any update on Scandal at all?

    Also could you add Fresh Meat to the list please? It’s normally shown just after the summer months, E4 are currently re shwing series 2. I remember reading it had gotten a 3rd series?

  13. Tegan says:

    Do you know if there will be another season of Alcatraz? It was originally on watch!
    Thanks!

  14. Danny says:

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but here goes…. NBC hasn’t said that Hannibal is renewed or cancelled but it has released its schedules and Hannibal isn’t on them, so does that not mean its cancelled?

  15. Jessie says:

    When is awkward returning?

  16. tronn says:

    dexter july 8 thats about a week after the states i think very pleased indeed, last series aswell cant wait. and whats this about luther june 11 i hope thats true the wait has been too much, aint seen any ads though.

  17. Shaun P says:

    Could you put Curb Your Enthusiasm on the list? Rumour has it that there will be a ninth season, and it is brilliant stuff!

    Thanks.

  18. debbs says:

    Said on telly the other day Dexter season 8, 7th july x

  19. Terry says:

    This might be a long shot, but I was wondering if you’d be able to find out when “Finding Bigfoot” is next broadcast in the UK, please? Season 3 is due at some point but I can’t find any information anywhere, even on the Discovery Channel/Animal Planet sites.

  20. anonymous says:

    Amazing job literally all the shows I want to know about are on here. well done!

  21. YJ815 says:

    Just thought i’d mention that Arrested Development has a May 23 start date on the calendar above the comment section and in the Upcoming UK Air Dates tab on the right but is actually starting on May 26 which is correctly listed in the main schedule.

  22. David says:

    You do realise that NCIS: Red hasn’t even got a series order yet… Why is it on the list?

    Plus, CBS has already made their series orders for this year, so NCIS: Red is dead.

  23. Diana says:

    Have you heard anything about Law & Order UK? IMDB says it was supposed to start 2 weeks ago, but nothing…..

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      It didn’t start two weeks ago and it hasn’t started yet. I can’t find any recent information but I’d imagine it’d be soon.

  24. Peter says:

    Any idea when 2 part mini series Coma on Channel 5 will start? was supposed to be mid-May.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      I haven’t heard anything for a few weeks since it was “tentatively scheduled for May”, but I can’t see it still appearing in May now.

  25. Rolin says:

    Any idea if Being Human USA season 2 & 3 will follow directly off the back of Season 1 on Watch, since we are so far behind?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      It didn’t run while the original Being Human was still being produced. I am not aware of any confirmation that season 2 will continue straight away but it might.

  26. Shaun P says:

    Hi there, could you keep an eye out for a new comedy series; The Michael J. Fox show, on NBC. So glad he has been able to make a return to tv, fingers crossed a channel here picks it up. Due to air in the US in autumn this year.

    Many Thanks.

  27. Flynn says:

    Anyone who is interested “counting cars” season two returns on the 30th may on th history channel.
    I know “the Vikings” is streaming on love film but is there any chance of it airing on an actual tv channel?

  28. aaronjoannides says:

  29. Oh?! says:

    Living TV has confirmed on their FB page that they have the rights to air new US drama ‘Dracula’.
    No release date yet however, TBC.

    It premiered in the US on Nat Geo on Sunday 12th May 9:00pm.

  31. Lemmy says:

    The Fall starts tonight on BBC2 at 9pm

  36. kara says:

    Will Csi NY season 8 be repeated this year on 5 ..

  37. daniel says:

    Sky still has production as this year and will air this year but I think maybe early 2014?

  38. aaronjoannides says:

    what are odds that agents of shield will air here

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      If Dave has anything to do with it, 100%. But probably not that far off 100% anyway.

      • Dave Dave says:

        Damn right. ;) Seriously though, it’s connected to one of the highest grossing movie franchises of all time, so I’d be amazed if it doesn’t get picked up in the UK. I suspect Sky will be gunning for it quite hard.

  39. Clare says:

    Hi, hoping someone can help me, does anybody know if season 2 of the killing (US version) will be released on dvd/blu-ray in the uk. Its been ages since it aired and I’ve been trawling the internet ever since trying to find it however I cant find any info. Sorry if this isn’t the correct area to post this, wasn’t sure.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Hello Clare. It is a bit strange that it hasn’t been released yet. The season 1 discs were released in Region 2/B (here) long before Region 1/A (America). Season 2 was released about the same time over there but hasn’t appeared here yet.

      It may be something to do with the second run rights. Netflix has only just added season 2 here and their contract may allow a reasonable window of exclusive viewing.

  40. Derek A says:

    Sky 1 HD Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/#!/Sky1HD?hc_location=stream confirms that Mad Dogs is back 4th June

  41. Gemma says:

    There doesn’t seem to be anything about Nurse Jackie Season 5 up on the list. Or I am just blind. I’m sure Sky Atlantic said “next year” when season 4 ended at the end of last year

  42. Joe says:

    Hi just wondering when season 3 of suits will show in the UK?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Joe, season 2 just finished yesterday and season 3 doesn’t start in America until July.

      Seasons 1 and 2 began here on Dave in January 2012 and 13 respectively, so we’d have to guess January 2014 for now.

  43. Talula says:

    Whitney and 1600 Penn have been cancelled – tv.com news feed

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Yep, thanks. As has Up all nights. There are other cancellations and renewals- so we’ll try and keep the Renewals and Cancellations page up to date, and then add in the newly announced series on this page.

  44. Hannah says:

    Hi, love this site and always come on here at least once a month to find out when my favourite shows are starting. I notice there is nothing on here about Alcatraz? I think it was Sky living and was on last year. Loved it and cant find it searching myself. Any ideas of when its one, i would be very grateful for any info. Thanks and keep up the good work

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Hannah. Alcatraz was on last year yes, but on Watch, and was cancelled after that single season. It’s available on demand but there won’t be new episodes.

      Visit more often, stay a while… We do update a little more often than monthly !!

  46. Ceri says:

    Anyone one know when ‘the following’ season 2 is aired in the uk??

  47. John hoy says:

    Hi is there any update on season 2 of scandal? Also do you know if criminal minds suspect behaviour was renewed?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Sorry but no. Spring is rapidly running out for Scandal and the other three programmes in the Spring section, with no updates that I am aware of.

      The Criminal minds spinoff was cancelled after one season and won’t be back.

  48. Bri says:

    Is there any news AT ALL on Pretty Little Liars being picked up for season 3 yet? I still cant believe MTV dropped it :-/

  49. Rita Silcock says:

    Will be very disappionted if cxinewyork does not return in 2013

  50. Kate says:

    Hi, has persons of interest ended?
    Thanks

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      For the moment yes- season 1 has ended- but overall far from it. We will be treated to season 2 later this year, and in its home market, it has recently been renewed for a third season, which we will likely get next year.

      So, a lot more to look forward to.

  51. The Kingslayer says:

    This is off topic but I went to comment on that Doctor Who thread and it kept on logging me in as Andrew.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      That’s one for Dave, but thanks very much for raising it. Odd, though.

      What did you want to say about Doctor Who?

    • Dave Dave says:

      Thanks for pointing that out! We’re trying a new page caching system to reduce the load on the server, and there appear to be a few gremlins in the system… I’m working with our hosts to fix it… The growing pains of popularity unfortunately… or fortunately, depending how you look at it!

      Cheers,
      Dave

  52. Emma says:

    Hey, do you think there is any chance that Melissa and Joey will come to the UK? It’s just about to start for a 3rd series at the end of the month in America. Thanks!

  53. Morgan says:

    Heyy, i really rally need to know if Underemployed has been cancelled. I do hope not, it was so good. I can’t see to find any evidence of a season 2 and if it has been cancelled do you know why? Help appreciated :D :D :D

  54. Andrew says:

    has season 10 of csi miami been shown yet, I know it has been cancelled i just want to watch the last season

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Yes, it finished in November. There are all sorts of repeats ongoing, but not series 10 at the moment. However, Sky living is showing series 9, so it’s possible you’ll get series 10 thereafter.

  55. Ger says:

    Could you tell me when Alcatraz and no ordinary family are airing again (on syfi or watch) thanks

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      There will be no new episodes of Alcatraz or No Ordinary Family as they were cancelled last year and the year before, respectively.

      They both aired on Watch. There are no broadcast repeats at the moment but Alcatraz is available on Virgin Media On Demand.

      Both are available on DVD, and Alcatraz is also available on Blu-Ray.

  56. The Kingslayer says:

    Realistically when do you think Netflix will stream the last season of Breaking Bad ? I know it starts on July in America.

  57. 7Live says:

    I’m quite confused about whats going on with The Killing Season 3.

    As it stands now right now, AMC in the US will air it in June and it is also coming to Netflix but the Season 3 Wikipedia page states “Netflix will stream the season approximately three months after its finale.”

    So because no actual TV channel over here is airing it, since Channel 4 dropped it, wouldn’t that mean it wont be airing in the UK on Netflix until November?

    If so then I wont be watching it on Netflix since thats way too late.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      The Wikipedia article, to which you refer, reads like it is written from the US point of view, ie that Netflix has the second run rights. Three months is extremely good for second run rights, although it seems as though even a day or too is too slow for those who have already decided to obtain the content improperly.

      As I understand it, in the UK, Netflix effectively has the first run rights, which suggests it could very well be made available here sooner. It all depends on the international rights agreement.

      So watch this space.

      • 7Live says:

        Riiiight except I didn’t immediately try to obtain the content improperly and never do. I have my paid Netflix account ready to watch and my paid Sky+ Membership ready to watch it on Channel 4 but not only are they not even bothering to air it on actual UK television at any time but bringing a show to a service like Netflix 3 months+ late in this day and age means guaranteed spoilers of the entire story and ending regardless of whether you go looking for them or ignore them fiercely.

        No need to ignorantly and incorrectly label everyone who resorts to downloading as the same when that couldn’t be any further from reality. I waited A FULL YEAR for my absolute favorite tv series to come back to UK TV instead of watching through other, far easier means and after an entire year had passed the channel didn’t even bother to release a simple statement announcing whether they had dropped it or if it would ever back. Didn’t matter anyway by that time since I had already been spoiled on every major twist and story point without even searching for the info myself.

        I guess that was my reward for being such a faithful paying customer to these “brilliantly” run UK TV channels, isn’t it? X )

        • Andrew Andrew says:

          As I said, it reads to me like the three months applies to US second run rights, and as for international purchases, Netflix is just as entitled as anybody else to make the highest bid.

    • Dave Dave says:

      After a bit more digging, here’s what’s happening with The Killing season 3 in the UK.
      Netflix funded the half of the costs this season, but AMC get 1st run in the US, with Netflix following after 3 months… However, in UK & Ireland, Netflix will run episodes of The Killing season 3 ‘within a week of the US’.
      (confirmed on PR Newswire)
      So no need to go find it elsewhere, you can get it within the week on Netflix UK.

      • 7Live says:

        Thanks Dave, appreciate the confirmation which makes this very confusing situation a lot clearer.

        • Clare says:

          Another Killing series 3 query! Although its showing on Netflix here in the UK, will it soley be shown on Netflix or will another broadcaster be able to show it? Unfortunately I dont have Netflix and was hoping Channel 4 would be showing the new series although after reading the comments above I realise that wont happen.

          • Andrew Andrew says:

            It will be solely on Netflix for a considerable time. They will have paid a sizeable sum of money for the rights and you can appreciate why sharing doesn’t make good business sense.

            I don’t have Netflix either so will be waiting for the Blu-Ray.

            • Clare says:

              Thanks for the reply Andrew. Yes will wait for the Blue Ray too (Still waiting for season 2 to come out too…)

  58. Alice says:

    Hiya I was just wondering if you know when Americas next top model cycle 19 college addition will air in the UK?

  59. margaret says:

    Hi,

    Please could you confirm whether there will be a second series of Unemployed and a rerun of Greys Anatomy S4 on Really TV.

    Thanks

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Margaret, do you mean Underemployed? (There’s a significant difference certainly in terms of entitlement to benefits!).

      If so, then that appears to have been cancelled.

      As for Grey’s Anatomy, I don’t know. Really is showing season 2 at the moment.

  60. tronn says:

    didnt bbc renew line of duty for series two whats happening with it any news

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Recommissioned here, but yes they did. It has been in production and is due to be broadcast in the autumn.

      • tronn says:

        i know its recommissioned but thats longer to type rather than renew but anyway good thing its coming back seems like its been forever since it was last on same as luther and sherlock

        • Andrew Andrew says:

          It’s been a year. Sherlock has sadly been longer than that, and Luther was last on two years ago.

          Fortunately they are all back this year.

          • tronn says:

            yes very pleased they are all back this year i guess top quality drama takes a whiles longer to get made compared to others and alot of the actors from them shows are also doing quite a few other things so cant complain really

  61. Rolin says:

    JUst a cosmetic question, but when is April list going to be archived?

  62. Jessie says:

    I saw but missed an episode on VIVA which was titled ‘New Pretty Little Liars’ on the TV guide. Was this the new series finally in the UK? It was on today at 3 pm.

    it don’t look like how i met your mother will be on a break this season its going air ep 15 with nine eps left and it usually goes on break at episode 12

  70. Jonathan says:

    Here Comes Honey Boo Boo starts on May 14th at 9pm on TLC with a double bill.

  71. Rolin says:

    Do you know if season 4 of White Collar is going to be shown straight after season 3 finishes on Alibi, I think there are about 3 episodes left.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      There seem to be five episodes left, but I haven’t seen any news about season 4 yet. Perhaps they will provide details at the end of the season finale.

  72. Poppy says:

    The Lying Game is returning Monday 13th May at 1pm, as confirmed by this link – http://www.channel5.com/shows/the-lying-game

  73. Amy says:

    I know it’s very early days, but has there been any hint of a UK network picking up Sundance Channel’s ‘Rectify’. It just got renewed for a second season in the US after airing only two episodes of S1.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      It does look quite interesting, if perhaps a little bleak, but I haven’t heard anything about it coming here.

      • Amy says:

        There’s not much precedent either, since I think it’s one of the first original dramas Sundance has made. The reviews have been fantastic, so I hope it does get some attention over here.

  74. Andrew Andrew says:

    Thanks to everybody who voted in last week’s poll. There was a clear winner. Jump to the homepage http://www.geektown.co.uk to see which it was. And have a vote in this week’s new poll.

  75. karen says:

    dont know if i was imagining this, but i thought that there was due to be a new ncis spin off – ncis red, due to start on the 5th may but cant seem to find it on my sky planner. am i going mad??

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Not entirely mad… It is a “potential” new series, and will be introduced via two episodes of NCIS:LA, the first of which airs here on 5th May.

  76. Sue Kempner says:

    The Glades:
    Seems to have disappeared from Alibi mid way through Season 2, are they doing a pause mid season, I know that’s happened with other shows. if so any idea when we’ll get the other half?

    Many thanks

    • Peter says:

      Sorry Sue but season 2 finished on episode 13 where Callie was taken hostage in the hospital.

      Good news is we will get season 3 earlier. sometime this year.

  77. Dionne says:

    I would Like to know when season 2 of The Following on Sky Atlantic will be aired on British Tv. Thanks

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Dionne, season 1 has only just finished. Season 2 has been confirmed but does not have an air date in America yet, let alone here. Season 1 began in January 2013 so January 2014 would be a reasonable bet for now.

  78. chrisrus1 says:

    Orange is the new Black premiers on Netflix on 11th July

  79. The Kingslayer says:

    Regarding Community on Friday night I checked the Sky schedule and there seems to be a bundle of episodes being shown, are all them new ?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      There are four episodes, and yes, all them all new. Same the following week. I’m quite surprised that the Sky schedule doesn’t state episode numbers in the same way as TiVo.

      • The Kingslayer says:

        Thank you kind sir.

        • MartyM says:

          Andrew, to your point on the planner, Sky seems to leave it to the individual channels as to whether they use the ‘New’ prefix with the programme title. The episode title is given so it’s a case of looking up the episode to see if it’s new, with Sony TV channel anyway. Strangely they give more details on the iPad app, such as season and episode numbers, than they do on the Sky box. Again this seems to be down to Sony, as the Sky channels have more detail.

  80. Daniel says:

    Justified is confirmed for the 8th 10pm 5 usa

  84. aaronjoannides says:

    sky living will be airing season 9 of csi miami from satuday may 4th 2013 at 8pm with a double bill

  85. Liz says:

    Does anyone know when the current US series of Hell’s Kitchen will air here? (previously on ITV2 I think)

    I’m also waiting for Top Chef and Top Chef Masters – previously Living and Good Food.

    And will any channel here ever pick up US Masterchef?

  86. aaronjoannides says:

    what are odds that how i met your mother will air its final season days after the US

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      1/1. Now, just “how many” days- that’s the question.

      • Aaronjoannides says:

        3 to 8 days after the US

        • Simon says:

          I’d be surprised if E4 care about when they show the HIMYM finale, after all they are the ones who showed the Smallville finale 6 months after it aired in the US.

          • Andrew Andrew says:

            A whole six months? That is not very long. It’s odd these days that there is such a feeling that there is some kind of unwritten right that we get American programmes at the same time as Americans.

            That said, I’m quite sure having spent money on the rights, the channel does “care” about its acquisitions. Perhaps not in the same way that fans “care”.

            • Dave Dave says:

              To be fair to Simon, it wasn’t 6 months, Smallville was 12 months behind, which I have to say is pushing it for an import… It’s entirely up to the channel when they air a show, and I understand the need to hold show’s over to remove breaks. But then you really can’t complain if the audience goes and gets the show by ‘other means’. Particularly when you’re dealing with shows that target a younger audience (Smallville and Supernatural are 2 shows that were/are always massively delayed from the US.)

              Personally, as much as I adore Supernatural, there’s so much else on to watch right now, I’d probably end up dropping a different show to watch it if it was on at the moment. So it’s something to look forward to in a few months time. :) Just makes dodging spoilers a little harder!

              Cheers,
              Dave :)

            • CrimTV says:

              If it was six months behind, or 12 months as Dave says, that’s extremely long. If the internet didn’t exist, fine, but with the internet, spoilers etc shows that are that long behind end up being ruined by spoiler websites that don’t warn people or the fact people give in to “other means” of entertainment, then the UK channel wonders why the viewers aren’t very high for their broadcasts!

              • Andrew Andrew says:

                In some cases it’s even longer than 12 months- if a programme isn’t bought for the UK market at all. But you are right, people always seem to invent some justification for the the theft -the Internet as a whole and the UK channel seem to be the most common- neither of which would stand up in court.

                As a fan of good television, it saddens me to think that the actions of a minority could result in fewer imports in future and / or higher fees for my pay-TV.

  87. Sinead says:

    June 2 not 4.

  88. Sinead says:

    For Kardashian fans there will be a one hour special interview with Ryan Seacrest tomorrow at 9. Keeping Up with the Kardashians will be back in the US on June 4 and we normally get it around 2 months after so I would expect that to start sometime in August.

  89. Tom says:

    Just to inform everyone, NBC have renewed Revolution, Law and Order: SVU, Grimm, Parenthood and Chicago Fire whilst The CW have renewed Hart of Dixie and Beauty and the Beast for the 2013-14 Season.

    According to DigitalSpy, UK channel TLC have picked up Lifetime’s Devious Maids and ABC’s Mistresses.

    “Mistresses – based on the BBC series – will debut in the US in early June 2013 and will make its TLC debut shortly afterwards. Alyssa Milano (Charmed) and Jason George (Grey’s Anatomy) star.

    Devious Maids – from Desperate Housewives creator Cherry – follows four Latina maids who work for the rich and famous in Beverly Hills.

    Premiering on Lifetime in late 2013, Devious Maids – with Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty) and Judy Reyes (Scrubs) – will air on TLC in 2014″

    Also, please could you add Broadchurch Season 2 to your listing.
    Thanks

      Margaret, I have added Broadchurch. As for Grey’s Anatomy, I don’t know. Really seems to be showing episodes from season 2 at the moment, but I haven’t seen any word on season 4.

    Any news about the mob doctor if a channel has bought it and if its been renewed for season 2

    • Tom says:

      I personally doubt that the series will make it across the pond as the series was cancelled last year and only aired the 13 episodes that were originally ordered by FOX for its first season. You never know though, a network over here might acquire it.

  119. gfunk says:

    Dexter season 8 final season. So natural end. Sons of anarchy renewed upto season 7. Any news on American Gods the tv series of the book by Neil gaimen. 666 park avenue cancelled before halfway finished. This is to come to a natural end so will be a miniseries.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Yes, with the possibility of a spinoff.
      Yes, but season 7 isn’t (yet) the end.
      Yes, it is a pilot currently being developed.
      Yes, 666 Park Avenue was cancelled, but no, 13 episodes does not make a miniseries, even if more than that were originally ordered or considered.

  120. James says:

    Has Miranda ended and also I know that The Big Bang Theory will have a seventh season but is there a future beyond that.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      I am not aware of any announcement regarding a fourth series of Miranda.

      It is not normal practice to renew more than one series (or season) of television programmes at a time. There are of course exceptions (Glee, Sons of Anarchy). Big Bang Theory has been renewed a sixth time. Beyond that is unknown.

  121. Chris Rushworth says:

    Banshee is on at 10:15. Not 10.

    Do you know if ABC Action have any plans to. Show.Dexter. season 4

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      CBS Action, presumably, Siobhan? But no- I don’t know. They are only halfway through season 3 at the moment so we might know fairly soon. However, there is nothing currently listed.

  125. gfunk says:

    Ign are usually pretty good and it has said low ratings could be to blame. This is there opinion even though they gave episode 1 a 9 out of 10. Only game of thrones an justified that im aware of have scored 10 out of 10. I hope I doesn’t get cancelled after great reviews.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Unfortunately, good critical reception doesn’t always equate to good ratings, and it is usually the latter to which the accountants pay closer attention.

      But I agree with you. I am looking forward to it. I haven’t seen any episodes yet so it is too early to develop an opinion as to whether or not I would be disappointed to see it cancelled.

      • Scott says:

        What people have to remember about Hannibal is its on the car crash ratings channel that is NBC. While its not pulling the numbers many would have suspected based on the glowing reviews its still on course to be renewed and I’d be amazed if it didn’t.

  126. gfunk says:

    Just found out IGN has listed Hannibal as endangered due to poor ratings.

  127. James says:

    Do you know when Horrible Histories Series 5 and also why does Wikipedia list futurama as being shown on FOX(UK) ?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      James. Horrible Histories has been in production for about six months so I would expect it soon, and given previous patterns, before July. As for Futurama, I don’t know. It may be that Fox has or had second run rights but in fairness to Wikipedia, it does not list Fox in isolation. It also lists the Sky channels.

  128. Jess says:

    The daily mail had a feature about the carrie diaries today saying it was coming to the UK later this year but not to what channel, has it been picked up?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Hi Jess. Not that I’m aware of. I haven’t seen any news at all. How did the paper actually word the bit about it coming to the UK?

      Thanks

  129. Parveen says:

    Hi any idea when pretty little liars will be on? The new series and heart of dixy is on this year? Thank you

  131. The Kingslayer says:

    I really hope Fox are smart and broadcast Dexter as soon as it airs in America because they don’t want to lose viewers to torrents because it is the last ever season after all.

  132. Cinabar says:

    Anyone know a confirmed date for Citizen Khan? Wikipedia just says series 2 coming Autumn 2013.

  133. Paul says:

    Deadliest catch series 9 starts this coming Tuesday on Discovery at 10pm for those interested.

    Andrew, you mentioned in an earlier comment how you use a legal, tried and tested means for American imports and would be happy to share. Hoping you could elaborate, and that it wasn’t just a joke comment ie wait till they air here!

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Thanks Paul for the Discovery info.

      Regarding the imports, you are quite right. Quite the opposite of a joke response in fact, but what I do is use this very website to watch for the premiere dates of programmes I want to watch, and pay little heed to when they air in America, Spain, China or Senegal, unless I’m going there. That way I nearly always get to watch what I want, always have something to look forward to, and I’m rarely disappointed.

      But then, perhaps I’m old-fashioned.

  134. Rachel says:

    May you check when WolfBlood and Wizards VS aliens series 2 are on please. They are aired on CBBC

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Rachel- they are both in production. Best guess would be autumn, again for both. I shall add them to the list so you can keep checking here.

  135. tronn says:

    i agree with you its fine if you do not know if your behind but this site will tell you all about when things air and if they are cancelled or not but thats it for now. on a side note is there still no word on luther cant wait for that and top boy.

  136. Andrew Andrew says:

    Tronn, indeed – some things don’t have UK broadcasters because it isn’t automatic that we receive everything produced in America. It is a far larger, and a different, country. They also do not receive everything we produce.

    As for 6 months or more behind- we are only “behind” if one compares again to America. It’s probably a symptom of the Internet age that such information is so readily available. What is clear from this interesting little discussion is that, if we simply did not know when programmes are broadcast in America, or in my case have no interest because I don’t live there, then there is no problem. Thanks for taking the time to share your views though.

    As an aside, please help my tired old eyes by inserting a few capital letters and full stops, though.

  137. Andrew Andrew says:

    Damo, I don’t believe that American content on American network websites at American pace are available under normal circumstances outside America. Hence my comment about this being a British pace website.

  138. Shane says:

    FOX UK have said they’re going to air Dexter just DAYS after the US! :D

    • tronn says:

      yes finally i do not have it to watch it by OTHER MEANS

      • Andrew Andrew says:

        I’m currently watching series 7 and since the outset have never had to watch by other means, thanks to Fox, previously FX, HD.

        • Damo says:

          good news for the uk but i’ll still end up watching it on showtime which is a great and never watched anything through fox anyway or any other uk channel actually though but at least uk fans wont get it spoiled through other means

        • tronn says:

          i watched it other ways because it took ages before to come on here i watched season 7 and past seasons as soon as it finished in the states same as burn notice watched season 6 ages ago and its not on here till the summer i wouldn’t do it if they had a reasonable airdate for us i don’t mind if we are about a month or two behind the states but some things take 6 months or more to come on here or don’t even get picked up here

          • Andrew Andrew says:

            I don’t understand why the Airdates are unreasonable. Is it specifically the date that you dislike, or is the problem due to knowing when the Americans get the programme? I.e. if you didn’t know when the programmes aired in America, would you feel the same need to go to the black market?

            I’m just curious because I don’t see the problem with American programmes not being broadcast in Britain at the same time as America. It’s a theme that seems to crop up every now and again, and very bizarrely, some people get very cross with British channels when they don’t bring imports in within nanoseconds of their domestic broadcast.

            I use a very tried and tested (and very legal) means of watching American imported television programmes and I’d be happy to share with anyone who is interested.

            • tronn says:

              now i watch alot of tv programmes there are four pages full on my sky planner and also watching some things on netflix and i keep track of when they are on in america so with burn notice we are quite far behind the states, so i like to watch what i like watching asap. i finished season 6 of it in december of last year and its not on here till the summer which is when the states will get season 7 so by unreasonable thats what i mean we are a whole season behind as we are with person of interest but i am still watching that on channel 5, and knowing that when we get season two the states will have season 3 you see most of the time i want to be up to date with my stuff and lets not start about sky living with nikita and supernatural although they do good with bones and sky1 is also very good with their dates as are sky atlantic, game of thrones in mind .i don’t mind if we are 2-3 months behind but 6 months or whole seasons behind i dont like which is why i am happy about getting dexter alot sooner.

              • Andrew Andrew says:

                Tronn, that is very hard to follow, but I think what you are saying is that you keep a close eye on when American programmes are on in America, and feel impatient when they are not on in Britain at the same time. It’s a fascinating point of view.

                I am happy about the Fox Dexter season 8 broadcast because it means the gap from 7 to 8 will be short. Obviously if I had watched season 7 at American pace, such as yourself, the gap is longer and I don’t see how that is better.

                It is interesting to hear different views of course but I would always urge everyone to support our British channels or we might find one day that they are unable to import so much.

                • tronn says:

                  oh i support the british channels its only burn notice and dexter that i was watching by other means and with dexter i watched season 7 straight after all episodes had aired in the states, when did season 7 come on here a few months ago or so. and if they didnt decide to air season 8 within a few days of the states then we would have got season 8 around the same time we got season 7 and by then i would have finished it already. basically i am saying i dont mind a 2-3 month gap between us and the states but 6 months or a whole season behind like we are with burn notice and person of interest i don’t like and of course with some things they don’t even have uk broadcasters

            • Damo says:

              Maybe in the future but i’m happy not watching any of the uk channels unless if a show gets cancelled but the uk airs all the eps which happened with ben and kate which I enjoyed the remaining ones thanks to itv2 same with 666 but other than that I watch everything on the American channels website because they upload stuff or on global which is Canadian

              • Andrew Andrew says:

                Damo, most geektown visitors in the UK don’t have Showtime or Global or any of the North American channels, as a result of geography.

                • Damo says:

                  Would be a great option on a pay per view channel or another subscription basis but you are still able to watch stuff through there websites most of the time

  139. Daniel says:

    1. Bates motel 2 u already mentioned it lol

  140. Daniel says:

    Hotel bate or bame or whatever haha has been picked up by UNiversal also since I can’t be botherd righting more comments. Channel 4s chicken shop thingy has been renwed for 3 more episodes

  141. Peter says:

    Do you know if there is going to be a League of their Own season 7 and if so when it will be shown?

    a new season normally starts around now judging by previous years.

    • Dave Dave says:

      Hi Peter,

      Yes, there is a series 7, it’s been recorded, just waiting for a broadcast date now. It would usually be around now, but It’s not showing up on any of the listings, or preview lists as far as I can see, so i’m not sure…

      Cheers,
      Dave

    I can see there is a provision date for season four of The Walking Dead but any news of Season 3 on Terrestrial TV ie channel 5??

    hey guys anyone know when new family guy will air on bbc 3???

  149. gfunk says:

    The glades season 3 to start later on in the year on alibi. Confirmed at end of programme last night.

  150. Derek A says:

    Hi,

    Noticed that Digiguide this morning is listing Warehouse 13 – Episode 4.11 (The Living of the Dead) @ 9pm Thursday 9th May (It also has episode 4.12 a week later)

  151. Roy says:

    Does any one know when bates motel premieres on universal channel uk?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      I’d imagine we’ll know fairly soon, and when we do, we’ll put it in the list, but they literally only closed the deal and announced the acquisition the other day!

  152. Roy says:

    Does anyone know when season 3 of the glades starts?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Season 2 only just finished yesterday. So ordinarily I would say it is a bit soon. However, season 3 episodes are now showing (undated) in TiVo’s guide so it might not be too far off.

  153. Charlotte Turner says:

    Any idea when the rest of Warehouse 13 season 4 will air and if a fifth season is planned?

  154. Charlotte Turner says:

    Any idea when the rest of season 4 will air and if a fifth season is planned?

  155. Lynne says:

    Any more info on whether The Big C will return to More 4?

  156. Lemmy says:

    It seems as though The clone wars season 5 has moved from a 1030am (first 5 eps) slot to a 630pm slot on Cartoon network, my sky planner didn’t pick this up, so be aware :-)

  157. Emily says:

    Hi, do you know when Burn Notice (season 6 I think) will return?

  158. Karen says:

    Any news on when Awkward will be on in the UK? Previously been on MTV

    Thanks

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Season 2 is the most recent and has already been broadcast here. Season 3 hasn’t yet aired in the US, and providing MTV is running it in Britain again, I haven’t seen anything to suggest it won’t be September again

      • Paul F says:

        Awkward S3 is 20 episodes (as opposed to 12 for S1 and 2) so they might start it sooner. Started in the US this week.

  159. tronn says:

    hi i was wondering with person of interest finale being next week will channel five show season two sometime soon or will we have to wait till later in the year we are already a season behind

  160. Jonathan says:

    Hey could you add the new itv drama Ice Cream Girls? It starts Friday 19th April :) Thanks in advance

  161. Peter says:

    just saw an advert fro a new season’ of body of proof on channel 5 on 23 April.

    is this just the 2nd season terrestrial repeat, as we are waiting for the new 3rd season on alibi aren’t we?

  162. aaronjoannides says:

    please may you add southland season 5 to your lists

  163. mak says:

    I saw a advert that tv show banshee on sky starting Monday 29/4/2013

    http://www.tv.com/shows/banshee/

  164. Sophie Davis says:

    Hey I saw an advert last night about Hannibal and it says it starts on 7th of may ?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Hmmm, interesting. I can’t remember where the 2nd came from, but a quick search shows 2nd May at 9pm appearing in some places on the Internet. Some places are also showing 7th may (as you kindly noted) but at 9pm which would be strange as Tuesday 9pm is Elementary’s slot. I’ve updated the entry but tagged it TBC for now as clearly there has been a bit of movement. I’ve also listed it as 10pm (after Elementary) as that currently looks vacant.

      • MartyM says:

        Looking at the broadcast schedule of Elementary in the US, there are 2 x 3 week breaks. So it could be that Sky Living will have some gaps to fill before the end of the season.

        • Andrew Andrew says:

          On a quick look, it doesn’t appear that we will be affected by these gaps, thanks to the difference in timings. But even if there were, I can’t imagine a channel scheduling a big new import like Hannibal to fit in some on-off slots amongst another big import’s tail end…

  165. Jess says:

    Where has the calendar gone?!!!!

  166. chrisrus1 says:

    I don’t think Episodes will be on till later this year or early next year.
    A while ago Stephen Mangan posted on twitter that filming starts in May.

    Hello…when a date is set for Do No Harm, please let me know. NBC made a big mistake when they cancelled it after just 2 shows.

    • Gripper says:

      Well regardless of how good it is or isn’t, it was the lowest-rated, in-season premiere of any scripted series ever on the big four networks. After it went from a 0.9 to 0.7 rating for its second episode, it was highly unlikely to ever reach an audience big enough to warrant a renewal. And if that’s the case then they might as well show something higher-rated even if it’s just repeats.

    • Damo says:

      It was really awful NBC made the right decision even repeats scores higher and after watching the first 2 eps I wish I could get the time back did not improve at all glad its gone and another failed program coming to the uk

  168. Debbie Jayne says:

    I love the ‘Real Housewives Of….’ Franchise, currently the Atlanta ladies are featuring on ITV2, can you tell me when my particular favourites: New York, Beverly Hills, Orange County will be airing in the UK? Thanks ????

    • Jenn says:

      As far as I am aware all of these are either filming or have just started being shown in the US so we will be waiting a while for them. Atlanta has a couple more series to go and from past experience ITV2 will show each franchise from the start before showing any new series.

  169. ria says:

    hi, just wondering if you know when real housewives of new jersey and beverly hills will be back on please? thank you x

  170. sam says:

    Saw an advert on Watch for Perception starting Wednesday 17th April.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      You are very welcome.

      Please don’t think too ill of the British channels. They take a lot of flak with imports, especially US ones. If they don’t show programmes within seconds of their US airing, some people call them useless and such like. If they do show them right away, some people complain about the breaks in the run.

  172. Dana says:

    Still no word on pretty little liars? Is it not coming back at all

  173. Mike says:

    Hi. Arrow on sky 1 isn’t planned to record next week. Has it finished or is it taking another break? It’s had like 3 one one season.

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Episode 20 will return on 29th April. The problem with airing so close to the US dates, although it pleases some people, is that the run is subject to all the season breaks that America gets.

  174. ChrisDuffy says:

    Just watched a preview for HBO’s VICE. This looks amazing. Hopefully we will get it here on sky atlantic or summat. Any chance??

  175. Danny says:

    From digiguide – 10 o’clock live is back – ch4, Wed 24th Apr

  176. Talula says:

    I do you know how long it will be after Whitney finishes airing here that season 2 will start as its already finished in the US :)

  177. Jonathan says:

    Digital Spy said that Community season 3 starts Friday 3rd May at 11pm on Sony TV.

  178. Alex says:

    Any news on how many episodes ITV Are going t to put on of 666 Park Avenue?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Episode 9 is on 16/04 at 2200hrs. Another episode is on the following Tuesday in the same slot but it doesn’t specify (yet) whether or not it is episode 10.

  179. Malini says:

    Hi I think perception starts on the 17 th April

    • Damo says:

      If you mean the second season no that starts in the US on 25th june can’t wait and will be watching on that date so it could be autumn until it starts back over here again but that date could be watch just repeating it from the beginning

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Thanks malini, but those are repeats of the first season . Season 2 doesn’t start until June in America so we won’t get it before then

  180. martin mcgrory says:

    i would love to see bates motel aired in the uk, any news on that?

  181. Andrew says:

    The second season of the valleys starts Tuesday 30th april it didnt say a time.

  182. Andy says:

    Any idea when house of lies season 2 will start over here

    • Damo says:

      Sky Atlantic have said summer so not long its been a decent season bit more quality than the previous one

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      It’s in the unknown section because season 1 was due to air in July here, then was changed to October. This year we haven’t seen or heard any news, so it would be fair to guess sometime between those months again

  183. sam black says:

    Any idea when ‘The Originals’ will air in the UK?

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      The rights will have to be bought separately to those of the vampire thing, so it’s an “if” question rather than a “when” at the moment.

  184. Damo says:

    Highly unlikely on near enough all of those you listed

  185. aaronjoannides says:

    bates motel renewed now that its renewed what are odds of it coming over here alongside cooper crossbones cult go on helix lost angels magic city marco polo orphan black penny dreadful ray donovan the goodwin games under the dome and vikings

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      The renewal of Bates Motel isn’t likely to alter its chances of coming here from where they stood before the renewal. The others are in the “unknown” section for a reason.

  186. Talula says:

    Any clue when season 14 of the biggest loser will be airing here and if there will be a 5th series of the uk version? :)

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      The UK version had a fifth series and it was the last. I don’t know about the US version- my guide is showing new episodes currently airing on Sky Living, but they are labelled Series 11

  187. keely says:

    Hi,
    Does anyone know when the next season of The Following starts on Sky Atlantic, I know season 1 is still on but I’m hoping I won’t have to wait until next year as its sooo good.

    Thanks Keely

    • Andrew Andrew says:

      Although renewed for a second series, as you note, the first is still running, and it doesn’t have a date in the US yet either. However, you almost certainly will have to wait until next year as that is usually how American programmes work.

      • CrimTV says:

        Also according to others, Kevin Bacon is not contracted for a full season so it will probably premiere in US around about the same time it did this year, January/February

      • keely says:

        Hi Andrew,
        Thanks for that info,guess i will have to wait til next year :-(

  188. Andrew Andrew says:

    Unrelated to anything, really, but just a musing. I was watching last week’s episode of Bones “The Twist in the Plot”, and it sounded to me that Booth was the only one unaflicted by the common American difficulty in pronouncing “Craig” properly as “Craig”, rather than the odd “Cregg”.

    • Natalie says:

      I’m so glad Im not the only one to notice this about how Americans pronounce Craig I have to double check in so many shows if they mean Craig or Greg cos that’s how it sounds!!
