June 2013
Confirmed as bought by E4, but they’ve moved it to Summer for this final season

Usually returns around June after it finishes its Canadian run, so i’d expect it to do the same this year.

Second season already commissioned and due on these fair shores in July, with the remainder of season 1 before that. Episode 14 of season 1 airs on geng Feb

Idris Elba’s unhinged and unconventional detective began filming a third series in October.
Season 2 aired in the US from April and here from July 2012. The US date for season 3 is not confirmed yet, but if it is April again, it is reasonable to expect to see Mr Irons and co back in July .
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! 
Summer Season (June 2013 - Sept 2013)
Guess, based on previous seasons
Guesswork based on previous air dates (but it’s Sky Living, so who knows when it’ll turn up!) We’re still waiting on season 3, but it’s got a final 4th season… if you can call it that, of 6 episodes.
Elijah Wood returns as Ryan, and his best friend… His neighbour’s weed smoking, beer drinking, and generally manipulative dog Wilfred (Jason Gann).

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.
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.
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
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.
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′.
British comedy drama from Sky, showing the lives of Jan and Terry Starling from Derbyshire, and their three children. Season 1 aired in May 2012
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…
In 2013 vampires are out and Zombies are in. This interesting French series, an eight episode adaptation of the 2004 film, is coming to channel 4 in the summer
American remake of the British series about a group of women and their various affairs.
We return to the Griffins in the summer.
BBC and Starz co-production set during the War of the Roses.
Sky Living has confirmed it has the rights and will bring us more of the Winchesters in 2013. They are currently saying July, but they said that last year, and it got bumped to Aug, so don’t be surprised if it slips back.
The eighth season is probably the last of Dexter and Fox will be bringing us to Miami within days of the Americans
August 2013
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.
One of the TV talent contests – return guess based on last year’s series.
James Bolam left last year, replaced by Denis Lawson. The other two original team members Amanda Redman and Dennis Waterman, are due to leave during series 10, with Nicholas Lyndhurst joining the cast. Return due in August based on previous airdates.

Sky’s popular supermarket sitcom returns. First two series both aired in August.
Autumn 2013
The firefighters and medics of Engine 51 are back in the UK courtesy of Sky Living…
This joint UK/French production is essentially a remake of Danish/Swedish Broen (The Bridge), where a body is discovered precisely on the border between the two countries, necessitating a joint investigation between the two countries, with all the cultural intricacies that brings.
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
New American political thriller recently bought by Channel 4 in the UK. Season 2 guesswork for now.

Runs June/July in the US, and usually Sept over here.

A third year of funny relationship woes.
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.
Karl Pilkington sets out to discover the answers to some of the hard questions in life.
Seems to be running about 1 month behind the USA, so in theory SVU should be back in Feb…
Having escaped the axe last year (by being cheaper than their Miami counterparts), the New York CSI’s usually return early in the year… Interesting side note – All 3 CSIs are actually predominantly shot in LA.

Back with guest spots from Buzz Aldrin and Homer himself, Dan Castellaneta.
Grimm Season 2 is on mid-season hiatus, due back March 8th 2013 in the US. The cop drama with fairy tales will return to the UK in the Spring.

The long-running Sicilian detective series returns to the BBC.
There’s no series 5, but there is a one-off 45 min special coming starring Richard Ayoade, Katherine Parkinson, Chris O’Dowd and Matt Berry to wrap up the show. Due to be filmed in May, it should be on our screens in the Autumn.

Rudy, Jess, Finn, Alex and Abbey return for a 5th and final series.

Haven should return to SyFy in Oct 2013 with season 4.
Has been renewed for a second season, so if the same pattern follows (ie Sky airing it close to the US date), it should be back in October
renewed for a second season. Guess based on last year’s premiere
November 2013

You know the drill – FBI cases consist of the weekly discovery of, well, bones, and only one person can help. previous seasons have begun in October, November and January, so your guess is as good as mine for season 9. Lets be optimistic and say November

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.
According to Digiguide, House of Lies and Nurse Jackie are NOT premiering next Tuesday (3 July) at 10pm on Sky Atlantic, but The Newsroom is taking the slot on Tuesday 10 July as stated above…
House of Lies and Nurse Jackie are nowhere to be found on Digiguide…
digiguide seems to agree with ur assumption re: supernatural
Do you think that Devious Maids will be picked up in the UK, I know that ABC rejected the pilot but it has been picked up by Lifetime, not due to air unitl 2013 but wondering if it will be picked up.
Im think it might be E4 as its sorta a spin off of Desperate Housewives, and one of the maids was in the final episode of DH as Gabi’s maid and she plays the same character in Devious Maids.
Do you think E4 will pick this up?

When will Awkward season 2 be returning to MTV?
Will Channel 4 be airing True Blood season 4?
Hi Craig,
Afraid not, C4 have dropped/or lost the 2nd run rights, so they’ve reverted to Sky as part of the HBO deal. Sky Atlantic is showing True Blood season 4 i think in the Autumn.
Cheers,
Dave
Thanks Dave.
It’s showing now, Every Wednesday at 10, episode 2 was yesterday
New Girl may be returning to E4 on Thursday 12 July at 9.30pm, as Apartment 23 finishes the week before…

TV Wise have the second season of True Justice starting on 5USA on Wednesday July 4th at 9pm

Hi,
Any news on whether a UK broadcaster will be picking up NBC’s upcoming new Revolution series from J.J Abrahms? Just watched the trailer on YouTube and it looks like a cracker.
Thanks.
Um, what happened to the second half of CSI: NY? I’ve been recording it on series link but only have 15 episodes and no sign of any more? Where’d it go or has my series link just buggered up?
Thanks
Lisa
Lisa, if you have seen the episode where Mac is shot, then you have seen to the end of the series. There are 18 episodes. Slightly shorter than the usual 22 or 24, but more than 15. It will be back next year.
Ah thanks. The info for the last episode recorded mentions Mac being shot but we only have 15 so must have missed some along the way. Still at least we’ve got the end of the series!
Hi – What happened to ‘Jerry Bruckheimer’s Chase’ first aired last year on Sky Living I think? Has it been canned by NBC?
Thanks
Yep, it was axed after one season.
Chase was axed but Kelli Giddish who played the lead is now in the new season of Law and Order SVU as Detective Amanda Rollins.
Dave. Today is the day, is it not, when the date for Supernatural Series 7 is confirmed?
Is it 18th July?
Thanks
It should be confirmed today yes (but this is Sky!)
Sorry Andrew, i was a week off. It’ll be next week it should be confirmed.
Although… Supernatural is in the Aug press preview as ‘continuing 7th season’ implying it’s already started in July, so i’d say the 18th is a safe bet!
Just discovered a tweet online from Sky Atlantic saying Bored To Death, Season 3 (final season) will be shown in the Autumn.
Anyone know uk DVD release date for californication season 5? Plus when is it showing on Uk tv?
Just seen a trailer for Burn Notice season 5 on FX 16th July
Surely House of Lies/Nurse Jackie and The Newsroom cannot air in the same Tuesdays at 10 slot on Sky Atlantic?
Hi Matt,
That’s a good point… and i think one of those listings is wrong… The date for The Newsroom is from Digiguide, so i suspect it’s that, as the dates for House of Lies and Nurse Jackie are from Sky, and they’ve not amended them as far as I can see… Then, Sky do sometimes switch things last minute, so who knows. Hopefully will find out later today.
Cheers,
Dave
The date for The Newsroom is from Sky Atlantic.
http://skyatlantic.sky.com/the-newsroom/aaron-sorkins-the-newsroom-coming-to-sky-atlantic
Humm… and the time is confirmed by Sky too… this is very odd… I’ll investigate…
Strick Back, Season 3 – Sky1 back in september
Mad Men starts from the beginning (Season 1) tonight(19/06/12).
That’s on Sky Atlantic, if anyone else was wondering the same thing I was!
Hi there, I was just wondering when will true blood season 5 be released in the u.k . Thanks for your help x
I mean release date for DVD . Thanks
DVD will be out May 2013.
Hi Tahnee, It’s in the list, back in October. FXUK managed to do a deal to move it closer to the US air date.
When will Flashpoint seasons 4 and 5 come back on Universal channel please ?
This question comes up frequently.
There is no confirmation that Universal has the rights to series 4 broadcast in the UK. So unfortunately, unless anyone knows otherwise, it is a waiting game, just as it was when ITV stopped broadcasting it.
Series 5 is still being made and Bell hasn’t even confirmed a date in Canada yet. So realistically it is going to be well into 2013 before we see it, although until there is any news about series 4, series 5 is moot.
Thanks Andrew, the last episode was left on a cliffer hanger with one of the leads being shot. Its unfair for the fans not let them know what happened next.
Attention all Aaron Sorkin fans!
The Newsroom starts on Sky Atlantic on July 10.
I know Supernatural Season 7 is ‘supposedly’ coming in July, but Sky Living are suspiciously quiet on the subject. Did you get anything concrete from them as to the delay and will they really actually ever show it?
Well, it’s been in the Sky’s trade press stuff for July, so I can only assume they have got it and aren’t going to move to back any further… The schedule currently goes up to 13th July and it’s not there yet. My guess is it’ll air the 18th July in Bedlam’s time slot (10pm). Should find out officially when they release the schedules this Wednesday.
when will antm 18 start
When will Death Valley season 2 be showing again? I’ve been really missing it
When will FLASHPOINT seasons 4 and 5 on Universal be shown please.
Im looking for…
Touch season 2
and
Alcatraz season 2
For touch, providing Sky1 buys the second series, you will likely have to wait until March next year.
For Alcatraz, as covered extensively on the much-overlooked cancellations and renewals page, I’m afraid the wait will be rather more infinite.
Alcatraz has been cancelled by Fox so no Season 2
What is NCIS:LA’s returning air date. It was last on Sky 1
NCIS:LA Season 4 will air Sept in the US. Sky usually hold it till Jan to remove the scheduling gaps, so i’d expect it Jan 2013, paired up with Hawaii 5-0 again.
Anyone know anything on the potential name change for cougar town? Dont wanna miss next season cos they have changed the name now do we
Hi Sam,
No news on a name change for Cougar Town. It was suggested in 2010, as the show had strayed from that premise, but the idea was rejected.
I think the only reason the idea was bought up again, was cause the show has jumped channels in the US, but they are saying it’s unlikely to change and will still be Cougar Town.
You have to think it wouldn’t be the brightest move by the network… Buy a show, so you’re already having to tell people about the channel change, but changing the name as well… So it’s a show with a different name on a different network… Talk about making extra work for yourselves!…
I strongly suspect it’ll still be called Cougar Town.
I don’t suppose there’s anyone chance of a network showing the last season of Breaking Bad that starts in America this july ?
If only :/
Yes, sadly that’s the case. The only option besides DVD is Netflix.
The bbc news story about Armando Iannucci being named in the honors list says that the thick of it returns for a new season in autumn
Emailed fx uk about the listener season 3 as it started airing on ctv in canada may 30th, bad news they replied sayin they have no plans to show season 3
Any idea when Cooper&Stone, CSI Miami, Raising Hope and Scandal will air over here? :]
No offence but Cooper & Stone never aired anywhere. It wasn’t picked up.
Ah okay, thanks
FLASHPOINT seasons 4 and 5 pleeease
Glee project season 2, anyone know anything?
All I know is, it has started in the US on Oxygen and they will be airing episode 3 this week. Last year Sky was about 1 month behind the US so that would mean a July return to the UK.
http://www.thetvking.com/tvshows/25768/the-glee-project/
Hi guys do you when arrow will be in the uk?
Thanks
It’s not a question of when, it’s a question of if right now.
No network has picked it up yet.
The CW has picked up Arrow, and knowing UK channels its usually Sky Living or ITV2 that shows CW shows
I am trying to find when Rizzoli and Isles season 3 will start on alibi.
Thanks!
I
When will dexter series 7 be shown in uk thanks
‘Early 2013′ according to end of series 6 voiceover on FX.
During the closing credits of the final episode of season 6, I believe it was said that season 7 will be shown in the UK on FX some time early next year. I don’t think it was given an exact date.
Does anyone know the Uk air date and channel for Californication Season 5?? Xx
What’s the point in watching these series if they will not get renewed !!!
I suppose the same point as breathing when you know you’ll be dead eventually – just, enjoy the now while you can!
I suppose there isn’t a point. But businesses have to make business decisions and sometimes that means they have to get rid of shows.
Any idea when teen mom season 4 is airing on MTV uk?
from what i read a little while ago there won’t be a season 4 of teen mom the girls decided they didn’t want to continue but think teen mom 2 is still going
Channel 5 have tweeted me saying that the lying game will be back next month

FLASHPOINT was on UNIVERSAL channel
Teen Wolf Season 2 is starting on Thursday 12th July 2012 at 8pm
Any news about seasons 4 and 5 of FLASHPOINT in the UK ?
Do you have any idea when the new series of The secret Circle starts in the UK or when the new series of Bones starts? They’ve both recently finished, Bones more recently than The secret circle but I’m itching to know when they are due to be back!
Thanks
Secret Circle was cancelled.
Hi
Can you tell me has Harry’s Law (universal channel) been renewed for another season. Thanks
Hi Oya,
Sorry, nope, Harry’s Law was also cancelled…
Cheers,
Dave
Hi – please could you add Death Valley series 2 to your list and also Pysch. Most appreciated. Thanks
Hi Debbie,
Bad news, Death Valley has been cancelled by MTV i’m afraid, although the creator is saying “that is not the end – Looking for other possibilities!”… But that’s more a hope than anything concreate!
Cheers,
Dave
…”in talks with Netflix”?
Who isn’t in talks with Netflix? haha
They are showing parenthood season 2 from the beginning on 5* starting Monday 18 June at 2pm. Maybe this time they will show more than the first few episodes we got to see, and we will get to watch the whole season, especially as we are so behind compared to the States
Yes tezza they are showing all of season 2 from the beginning but only at 2pm weekdays. So its unlikely they will bother buying the rights for season 3 and 4
Just tried to use my sky planner to record “Alan Partridge Welcome to the Places of my Life” scheduled on GeekTown to air on Sky Atlantic 21st June at 9pm but its not there? any news on a different date?
Hi Donna, it’s moved to 25th June 2012 at 9pm (just before the new series Veep starts).
When will ghost adventures be shown in uk
Any news about starting date for Suburgatory on E4? Thank you
Nothing yet. I’d say Thursday 12th July would be a good bet though. ‘Don’t Trust The Bitch…’ and ‘Rules Of Engagement’ both finish on Thurs 5th so I have a feeling their slots may get filled by New Girl and Suburgatory.
That sounds feasible to me Ross
when will Teen Mom season 4 be shown in uk please? On MTV.
Comedy Central Have Confirmed That Brand New USA Comedy Whitney Series 1 Will Start on Tuesday 3rd July 2012 at 9pm on Comedy Central According To TV Wise.
Also Channel 5 Have Confirmed That Dallas Spin Off Will Start in September 2012 on Channel 5.
any news on being human USA?
will be starting a 3rd season next year and i’ve always found it odd why its never aired here. i figured maybe the bbc could have been offered it but i at least expected it to show up on syfy
Just noticed that Finder has been picked up by universal, makes the the non pick up of White Collar look ridiculous!
when is Flashpoint seasons 4 and 5 returning to universal channel in the uk ?
anyone heard about new Bary Levinson BBC America series Copper which I caught a clip of on IMDB
It does say on the Sky Living website that Supernatural Season 7 is coming soon.
hey
any idea when walking dead season 3 on fx is on?
also season 3 of secret circle on channel living?
Hi Tracey,
Walking Dead Season 3 doesn’t air in US till Oct, but FX UK did run season 2 within a week of the US, so there’s a fair chance we’ll get it at the same time.
Secret Circle Season 3… even less likely that it getting a season 2.
Secret Circle was cancelled after 1 season.
Cheers,
Dave
Ok seriously why can’t Sky living get their act together and tell us when Supernatural is back on ? I mean they have said summer for a while and its obviously gonna be July but if it is in its wednesday night at 10 slot like it was last year then Bedlam has to finish and since that has possibly 4 episodes left then its like 5 weeks away right ? So why haven’t they started to show any adverts like they did last year or say something on the website? Im dying here
Power Rangers Samurai and Power Rangers Super Samurai are comig to channel 5 in the summer 2012
Hi
Do you have Uk air dates for Grey’s Anatomy? I know that the next series is a go ahead but would like to know when I will get to see the conclusion to the gripping finale of last season.
Cheers
Also cant find any information on why Secret Circle was cancelled, also would tyou have an air date for the next season of Castle and No Ordinary family? Many thanks.
No Ordinary family was cancelled after the 1st season by ABC due to low ratings
Series 4 of Castle hasn’t finished here yet. So it’ll be a while before we here about series 5
The Secret Circle was cancelled because it got dropped by The CW because the ratings were not high enough and it wasn’t picked up by any other US channel
Was wondering if you knew when season 2 of Alcatraz was due.
Cancelled
Pathetic how many of these shows get cancelled…..
I noticed some comments on the series Weeds. I was a big fan but I lost track of it some time ago. The last one I saw the whole town was burning down. I think it was the season 4 finale, at the time I thought it was supposed to end there for good. Which is why I never kept an eye out for it’s return. I think we could do with sky 1 or Atlantic doing a full run from the start, well advertised in advance.
Oh & the Secret Circle season 2, if it’s coming?
Hi John,
You could search the list… a lot of these are in the list…
However…
Bones has a short season due to Emily Deschanel’s pregnancy. There are 4 more episodes filmed, but they’re being tagged onto Season 8.
Tera Nova & Secret Circle were cancelled.
Doctor Who & Merlin will be Autumn.
Torchwood (assuming the get round to doing another one) won’t be till Autumn 2013 at the earliest I suspect.
Supernatural Season 7 hasn’t aired here yet (airs in July) . So season 8 will be Spring 2013 (assuming Sky don’t drop it…)
Sinbad airs in July.
Nikita, Season 2 – Sky Living – 6th July 2012 at 9pm (TBC)
The Lying Game – not sure yet…
Cheers,
Dave
I haven’t watched the last one yet but Bones series 7 seems to have ended with only 13 episodes. Which can’t be right can it? Also I’m trying to find UK air dates for several shows, I’m hoping someone out there can help so here goes. Sinbad season 1, Nikita season 2, Supernatural season 8, Tera Nova season 2, The Lying Game season 1 return or season 2 start which ever it is. the next series of Doctor Who, Torchwood, & of course Merlin series 5 I think?
From your list, those that are known are set out below in the very comprehensive list. Those where dates are not yet known, are also set out below in the best guess category. Those, such as Terra nova, which have been cancelled, are not listed below, but are in fact listed on the aptly named “renewals and cancellations” page, which you can find by clicking on the UK Airdates tab at the top of the page.
As Dave said, be it “right” or “wrong”, this season of Bones has 13 episodes as one of the leads is about to have a baby.
Dallas will start in September on Channel 5 !
noticed you put down the new Spartacus x hope you all enjoy as this is the last series as they are bringing it to a natural end which is a total pisser like. this and Game of Thrones are the best tv programmes on the box i think
also when is The Lying Game on 5star coming back only showed half the series
whats this add for a new programme on watch tv starting the 5 july 2012
Any news if Sky Atlantic are going to show the new series of Weeds closer to the US airdate (think it starts in the next week or two over there).
Doubtful. They’ve not shown season 7 yet and season 8 starts in the US in just over 3 weeks.
Thanks for that, didn’t realise we were so far behind! They must lose a fair chunk of viewers if they’re expecting people to wait over a year in this day and age!
Parenthood season 2 makes a return to 5* next week after previously being pulled after only 5 episodes.
Sadly, as I feared would be the case, they’re burning it off in daytime with a daily showing at 2pm. Season 2 starts from ep 1 on Monday (18th) so previously unaired episodes (ep 6 onwards) will commence weekdays from the following Monday (25th).
I can’t imagine they’ll buy the rights to seasons 3 and 4 now…
Hi Ross
Yeah, I saw that too. Looks like Parenthood will go the way of Chuck and Breaking Bad.
Hey i just noticed that sky atlantic are showing mad men from the start (19/6) does anyone know if they will show all seasons? the only reason i ask is that i’ve really got into friday night lights and i found out that they might only show two seasons! cheers guys
I really hope this isn’t the case with FNL as I really like it to!
That sounds strange for Friday Night Lights. ITV4 dropped it after 2 series so I would have thought Sky Atlantic would have shown all 5. If they don’t it will be frustrating.
Hi, just read on wiki that Teen Wolf season 2 starts on July 12th,
do you know if this is true?
burn notice season five is that right or is it a typo because season 6 is starting june 14 i think it is in the states are we a season behind here because i watched season five already via other options
Burn Notice series 5 has not yet been legally broadcast in the UK. It aired from September 2011 in the US. We are about 9 months behind.
thats a shame i thought they would have shown season 5 already because the prequel movie fall of sam axe to season 5 came on here in december so i thought season 5 would have came on not long after that some of these sky channels are terrible supernatural season 7 aint even here yet (in the uk) or nikita and why cant they show true blood about a week or two after the states
Just saw the season finale of the Mentalist. When will the next season be broadcasted on Sky?
The Mentalist is broadcast first on Channel 5, not Sky. Barring any changes it will return in the autumn, closely after US broadcast, with the characteristic Christmas break.
I was wondering if anyone knows when marlin series 5 will be cuming back on bbc1??
Usually airs in the Autumn. My guess is they will run Merlin around Sept, and run Doctor Who in the same slot after it…
Cheers,
Dave
Thank u for ur info.great site btw.
Jen.
New Girl which had been pencilled in to return on E4 in the final week of June, has been pushed back so it won’t return until at least July.
I Heard a Rumor That Series 2 of Teen Wolf will Starts on Wednesday 27th June 2012 on Sky Living Can You Find Out For Me?
So Comedy Central have decided to break-up 30 Rock again, ending the current run with episode 11 last week. No news on when eps 12-22 will be shown other than “later this year”, but it’s one to add to the AUTUMN 2012 list.
I was wondering if anyone knows when Hells Kitchen USA is coming on in the UK.
Thanks.
The Good Wife S4 please?
Do you know when new series of Real Housewives of NY or Orange County will show in UK. Thanks
Are there any plans to air the American hit show titled ‘Switched at Birth’ in The UK?
that says burn notice season 5 but its on season 6 when it comes back on june 14th in the us are we really a whole season behind
Person of Interest is coming in July 2012
When is the arrow coming to the ?
*Coming to the uk?
Do you have any info on when Channel 4 will show season 4 of True Blood please?
Hi Ali,
Bad news i’m afraid… C4 have dropped True Blood. The 2nd airing is now on Sky Atlantic, so you’re a bit stuffed unless you’ve got Sky i’m afraid…
Cheers,
Dave
Hi, I only got into The Big Bang Theory earlier this year. I was able to catch it from the beginning till season 4 finale on the E4 weekday repeats but I only caught about the last quarter/third of season 5. I was wondering if anyone might know when E4 (maybe C4) is likely to repeat season 5 from the beginning?
Thanks
whens dr who being aired
Hi Ian,
We don’t know about Doctor Who, other than ‘late’ 2012…
*Spoilers*
New companion appears in the 6th episode at Christmas, so that would mean the first half of the season could be anywhere between Sept and Nov…
Cheers,
Dave
According to Sky’s latest press ads Sinbad starts on July 8th and The Borgias sometime in August.
Do you know when Dallas will be starting on channel 5??
Can u tell me if rookie blue or the secret circle when will it be out on dvd
Hello, any idea when Covert Affairs season 3 will be airing in the uk? Thanks
When will The Good Wife series 4air in the UK please?
Hawaii five o season 3?
The Finder starts July 11th I believe
Hello! Have I missed season 3 of The Life And Times Of Tim? I’m assuming Sky Atlantic have the rights? Love that show…
On Digiguide Nikita Season 2 seems start on Friday 6th July 2012 at 9
Teen Mom will be back on the 12th June on MTV
Terra nova season 2 if not cancelled
Hey, Mark!
Sorry, it’s been cancelled and all attempts to bring it back (eg: a move to Netflix) have failed.
Again, sorry!
Noooo! That was a great show but thanks anyway.
Awkward. Season 2??
Any news on the possibility of new shows Longmire and Saving Hope being picked up to air in the UK?
hi, i know this series isn’t normally mentioned here, but my guilty pleasure “sister wives” started last month ( in america) and i’m wondering if anyone knows when it might come over here? normally shown on discovery rt, thanks
for those of you who don’t want to wait for C4 to screen season 4 of true blood sky atlantic are showing it again wednesdays at 10.15 from next week the 13th (presumably part of their deal with HBO)
How weird, so True Blood is now effectively showing on three different UK channels now.
yeah it is weird, unless sky atlantic now have the rights for season 5??
Just checked with Channel 4. They no longer have the rights to True Blood… I’m fairly sure FXUK still have first run rights, it just means 2nd run rights are now on Sky Atlantic (sorry Freeview people).
Cheers,
Dave
Hi guys, can’t see any replies on Alcatraz yet? Anyone have any idea if there is a series 2?
Lisa, there is actually a fair bit on Alcatraz both on this page and on the Cancellations &Renewals page, where it is listed as cancelled.
There will be no series 2.
Thanks so much Andrew. Viewing the website on my phone and there is no cancellations and renewals page so I assume that my phone isn’t downloading the full website…will log on from the PC and check it out, thanks so much.
You will definitely see it on the computer, but I’m also viewin on my phone- if you scroll all the way to the horizontal menu at the top, click on the fifth tab along “Uk air dates”, and from the drop-down box select cancellations and renewals, you’ll get it all there.
It’s a very very useful resource around April and May every year when the date of most American shows is decided.
Sorry to ask again so soon but can you please find out when Teen Mom season 4 will be shown in the UK on MTV
i can see season 7 of supernatural however i only got into this last year (friends suggestion) i have 1-5 on dvd but cannot find season 6. Is it being repeated at all, and if so where and when?
All I did was type Supernatural season 6 into Amazon and it came up straight away.
When is secret circle back?
It’s not i’m afraid Jemma… Secret Circle got cancelled after 1 season.
Breaking Bad series 3 will “air” on Monday. Released on DVD.
Series 4 will similarly bypass TV and go straight to DVD in October.
do you know where castle has gone. it has been replaced by big brother on c5 at 10pm
You’re better of watching it on alibi (assuming you get it) they repeat the earlier seasons and are years ahead of channel 5
When will Being Erica return to E4. It has no specific date, only states 2012.
I think a pretty good guess for Supernatural’s return date would be Wednesday the 18th of July on Sky Living, straight after this series of Bedlam is finished… They like that timeslot for Supernatural I’m sure, and on their website they say for peoppe missing Supernatural to watch Bedlam, so they like to keep them pretty linked.
Veep Monday 25th June
whens bones coming back? and whats this i hear about one-off episodes?
This current series has been subject to the a understanding maternity clause and is therefore shorter and more spread out than usual. There are four more episodes, nominally attached to this series, still to air.
those four episodes are being held back for season eight as confirmed by Hart Hanson at the upfronts, tvwise, tvline, deadline, thr and ew all reported on it
don’t know if anyone cares since it is about USA schudule but you state falling skies isn’t airing in the usa till the summer but i’ve read it will start June 17
And a couple of weeks later here… In summer
“Haven” isn’t returning in the US until September 21st. I don’t know if this will change the air date over here.
hey everyone
i am so annoyed no channel has picked up private practice you would think that sky living would giving that they should greys anatomy i mean they use to show PP but stopped and the uk is sooo behind like 2 SEASONS come on somebody pick it up its an awesome show!!!
Ended up buying Private Practice S4 on DVD Region 1 in the end. Looking out for S5 when it comes out..
Series four is available in region 2, its reasonably priced to rrp is £16.99
I’d like to know the exact UK air dates for Sinbad. Dr Who, Merlin & Bedlam season 2. Not to mention what on earth happened to the repeat of season 1. I saw the 1st 2 episodes then nothing. Oh & it’d be fantastic if any1 knows anything about a season 2 of the almighty johnsons?
As in the list above, Bedlam starts tonight. Specific dates for the others yet to be confirmed but rest assured when they are available, Dave will publish them here within seconds

Hi Sarah,
Rizzoli and Isles usually doesn’t air till Jan in the UK, although it has aired a month earlier in the US this time, so that may move it to Autumn over here. No confirmed date yet though.
Cheers,
Dave
Hi! Any idea when Season 2 of Awkward will be shown in UK?
Hi there, any idea when the US office returns to comedy central UK?? Much appreciated.
Hi, Do you know when Suits will be returning on Dave Channel?
The Vampire diaries will air in October in America this year instead of September so I would say November for the airdate in the UK because they usually wait a month.
Humm… With them starting that late, that may tempt them to delay it till Jan, so they can run TVD straight through, rather than have the long gap they usually have… We’ll have to wait and see…
Cheers,
Dave
those gap they do are a real nightmare especially with the vampire diaries. being on ITV2 you’re lucky if you see any adds before the series 1st starts. You’ve got no chance when it returns, the gaps are so long you nearly forget by the time it’s back on. It’s nearly a miracle if you don’t miss at least one episode each time it comes back on. Fringe is nearly as bad, why oh why can’t they just run them right through, start to finnish? I’ll never understand.
It’s the US networks John unfortunately… They have a really erratic schedule, especially in the ‘Fall’ season, due to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and various sporting events.
And it’s a balancing act for the UK channels. Sky get shouted at for running shows behind the US, but also get complains from erratic scheduling (caused by airing close to the US). Glee was a prime example. People moaned about all the breaks. So Sky waited to air it in one block, and people complained it wasn’t on air… Sometimes it’s a bit of a lose/lose. Having said that, they do sometimes take the p*ss – Supernatural being a prime example of that.
And Breaking Bad even moreso!
alcatraz on watch in the uk finished last night, did series 2 get picked up and if so when will it be aired in the uk.
Fraid Not Derval, Alcatraz was canned…
Hi, I see Nikita Season two says it airs in June 2012 in the UK, is there contact date scheduled for UK release?
Hi Bruce,
It ‘was’ confirmed for June, but it’s looking like they’ve bumped Nikita back, so no date yet…
Cheers,
Dave
Just seen an advert that says brand new episodes of New Girl coming soon on E4…i guess it’s moving channel after all….
Hi Dan Just seen that too. Which usually means that it will be returning in 3 weeks. Only last week I emailed Channel4 and was told they didn’t have any details but no mention of the channel move.
Hi do you know when The Lying Game will air in the uk and what channel thanks

Can you please find out when teen mom will be shown in the UK
When is Sky Atlantic going to air Season 2 of How To Make It In America?
Season 1 was aired last summer. It was repeated again this year 2-3 months ago and Season 2 has already been shown in America! Anyone know what’s going on with this?
Also when are we going to get Season 3 of Bored To Death, also on Sky Atlantic?
Both programs were cancelled so i presume they are not top of Sky’s priority list.
Not much to go on, but sky never miss says HOT IN CLEVELAND returns in July.
I no its not popular over here and i hate to ask a third time but is there any info on the next season of top gear usa?
The first few episodes were dreadful (I was very close to cancelling the series link after the third time of hearing “welcome to Tap Gear”) but it slowly found its stride, and the interplay between the three hosts improved. Compared to our own, it is a poor cousin, but not a total washout.
We have already had its first two series on BBC3. It will return for a third series on its host channel, History, but as there is no confirmed date for it in America, we don’t yet have one here either.
So a new promo on E4 would seem to suggest that New Girl is moving across from C4.
Was a generic ‘This Summer’ promo that also included Suburgatory.
I’d guess they’re maybe pairing the two together (possibly on Tuesdays?) unless they’re planning on waiting for available slots on Thursdays (nothing for at least 5 weeks there though).
Hi Ross
I have seen the promo a few times on e4 as well. I have been in touch we Channel 4 and while they don’t have an air date for either New Girl or Suburgatory. The have confirmed that New Girl will return to Channel 4 this summer, possibly in June.
Can you find out that when rizzoli and isles I is on plz in the uk
Just to let you know that The finder will be shown on the Universal TV channel starting on the 18th of July I believe!!!
Saw trailer yesterday The Finder is coming to Universal
Hi Dave,
Any idea when Young Justice will be coming to Cartoon Network? It’s already into it’s second series in the US.
I got no response from CN when I emailed them.
Cheers,
Mark.
Young Justice starts this monday on CN Too.
Heyy,
Can you find out when the new series of The Glee Project will be airing on Sky 1?
Thanks
Jess
Hello – just wondering if you knew when Sky Altantic will be showing Season 6 of Curb your Enthusiasm?? Thanks
Can you tell me when the 3rd series of Hawaii Five-0 will air?? It’s on sky 1.
Based on the way the Sky channels work (they shows seasons annually) expect it back in January 2013.
Having said that, it may change at the last minute. I believe i speak as one of MANY Rasing Hope fans that are a bit pissed off at Sky taking it off the air for over a year…
When is the next 10 eppisoides of session 1 on
Do you know when hells kitchen season 10 (us) airs in uk. It starts on fox on 4th june 2012 but cant find date for uk date.
can you tell me if the secret circle will be out on dvd and the same as unforgetable as well
Well they are both different.
The Secret Circle has not received an official date for it’s sophmore season to be released on DVD as of yet.
However, Unforgettable will be released on September 10th of this year.
Preorder it for £22 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Unforgettable-Season-DVD-Dylan-Walsh/dp/B006U0ISXK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338765899&sr=8-1)
Any idea when kurt sutter (sons of anarchy) new series Outlaw Empires will be on Discovery?? I understand that they might change the name to Devils Ride? Also any news on last man standing for the uk? I know it’s down as no uk broadcaster but was really hoping that would change as they have renewed it or is it a Chuck situation where I would have to buy it on DVD when it comes our.
Cheers Jason
Jason,
No word, about Outlaw Empires on Discovery in the UK yet.
Don’t confuse it with “The Devils Ride”, which is a completely different show made by Discovery. A show which Kurt Sutter has expressed his opinion about on Twitter and YouTube WTFSutter blogs.
just wondering is there a boxset of Chuck for all 5 seasons., or might there be one at some point?
Channel 5 have secured the rights to Sons Of Anarchy season 5 and is expected to air early 2013 on 5USA
http://www.thetvking.com/news/394/sons-of-anarchy-season-5-coming-to-uk-on-5usa-early-2013/
The news actually comes from TVWise
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/06/channel-5-closes-deal-to-acquire-uk-rights-to-sons-of-anarchy-season-five/
Yes it does Andy, which I cited in my post
Wasn’t Sons of Anarchy already on one of the Channel 5 channels anyway, or am I mixing it up with Southland?
Yes Andrew, since Bravo ended, Sons of Anarchy has aired on 5USA but they only seem to renew 1 year at a time. Look what to shows like Chuck and Breaking Bad which have been on 5USA but they didn’t pick up the later seasons. Souhtland is on More4.
Much like the US networks renew shows every year, UK channels need to buy the rights. We see sky hijacking the hit shows(24, Prison Break, House, Grey’s Anatomy, Mad Men, Nurse Jackie) and then some shows being dropped in the UK like Breaking Bad, Chuck and for a while Community.
when does nikita start on sky living i know it starts in june but i want to know the date?
Thank you
No idea why it was announced in such a way but 25th June is the airdate set on ‘Veep’ for Sky Atlantic HD.

Any news on rizzoli and isles
This isn’t really a geeky show, but do you know when America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 17 will start on Sky Living?
Sorry I mean Cycle 18
hi there, as an avid watcher of game of thrones on sky atlantic i was just wondering if any of the terrestrial t.v stations will pick up the rights to show it, as i have been raving to parents and they wany to watch it
There is no talk of a terrestrial airing, and given the relatively unique nature of Sky Atlantic, it seems to be fiercely protective of its purchases.
That said, you can buy or rent series 1 of Game of Thrones on glorious Blu-Ray already, and is probably the best/only way for terrestrial and cable viewers.
I watched the first two episodes of Boss on an aeroplane last week. It is extremely good, and very very difficult to imagine one is watching the same chap who played Frasier Crane. As the notes above state, it has been renewed for a second series, so I for one would be very keen indeed to see it appear on British TV, just not Sky Atlantic.
Was wondering if we are going to get starz magic city here in the uk? Any help with this would be great thanks
Hi do you know when season 3 of pretty little liars will be back on MTV in the UK??? Thanks
Hi Jemma,
Season 2 of PLL aired in Nov last year, so there’s a fair chance it’ll do the same this year. That’s pure guesswork though!
Cheers,
Dave
Hello, do you know if Revolution (starting in autumn in the US on NBC) has been given a UK broadcaster yet? Revolution is a sci-fi show about all forms of electricity being switched off.
Also, why has Parks and Recreation not been picked up yet? Thank you.
Hiya, way too early to say yet, as they may want to see rating on it first. JJ Abrams shows usually do get picked up, but they’re a bit hit and miss in the ratings, so it may not air here until they can gauge it’s worth (meaning it could be 2013 before we get it.)
Cheers,
Dave
Dave.
When do we usually start hearing about confirmed UK channels and dates for new autumn (“fall” if we must) premieres in the US?
I’m particularly keen on Shawn Ryan’s new show Last Resort.
Thanks
Do you know when season 2 of Glee Project (sky 1) will start?

Supernatural back 8th June
Hi Deborah,
Pretty positive Supernatural isn’t back till July…
Cheers,
Dave
It isn’t showing on Living’s schedule for 8 June. Do you mean 8 July, or has it moved to a different channel?
Hi Andrew,
It’s still on Sky Living, and it’s in the press pack for July, so i’d say July on Sky Living is a pretty safe bet.
Cheers,
Dave
Great site all the info i was looking for on upcoming airdates & cancellations in a decent format.
Thanks (Y)
Pretty Little Liars starts 3rd season June 5 in the US. Any word on start here?
Hi, love the website guys!
Just wondered if you could tell me when Masterchef Australia 2012 airs in the UK, it’s normally on Watch?
Thanx
What’s happened to Community ? My Sky + didn’t record it and I couldn’t find it on the schedule.
Sony TV are having a Spooks night next Tuesday so the next episode of Community is on Wednesday instead but of course they haven’t sorted the series link properly.
Virgin’s TiVo picked up the alteration.
Thank you.

Hi there,
How come Supernatural is in the July section when next to it say’s June? Does anyone konw when its going to air?
Also I guess Hot in Cleveland has been chopped by Sky living which really sucks.
I think it might be time for me to buy myself a Laptop and start watching online and downloading series from other soureces, can’t stand the way UK television networks drops series you like. I hate when America cancels shows and I think the UK is getting the same. But that is just my opinon.
Hi Liam,
Supernatural is definitely July, i just forgot to change the month.
Not sure what’s happening with Hot In Cleveland. Sky say they haven’t dropped it, and it was supposed to be back in May… But it’s not in any of the preview stuff, which goes up to July (although that doesn’t mean it won’t pop up somewhere…)
Cheers,
Dave
The British channels have no say on the cancellations of American programmes. It is probably just as frustrating for them, having paid for broadcast rights for a popular programme, only for it to be discontinued.
It is an awful lot better than the situation in the mid-80s when we had to wait far longer for one of the four channels to broadcast American greats like the A team or Airwolf, but there was no Internet then to check episode lists or American broadcast dates, and the term “download” was probably considered to be the opposite of “up high”.
Chin up!
Just to let everyone know Chuck season 5 will be officially released in the UK on DVD on October 15, 2012 (on Amazon).
FYI for anyone who was wondering, Ultimate Spiderman starts today (thursday) at 5 on Disney XD
Hi there,
Any news on Flashpoint season 3?, season 2 endeded with bit of a cliffhanger!
Series 3, last episode “fault lines” has just finished being broadcast in the UK. It was broadcast directly after series 2 on Universal.
There does not appear to be any sign of series 4 in the UK yet, but it was broadcast in Canada last summer.
Hi,
I was wondering if you’ve heard anything about a season two for Suits, it aired on watch on tuesday at 9pm.
Also season two for Grimm, though season one isn’t quite finished yet, there has been rumors that a second season

Also the next season for Vampire diaries, I think it may be season four.
Suits, aired on Dave Tuesday at 9PM, it is returning to the UK with season 2 on Dave this year. However it hasn’t started in the US yet. It is due to start their on the USA Network on June 14th

I know that the show was shown on Bravo at one point but I watched them all on Netflix UK.
Any idea when Hells Kitchen USA will be aired in the UK? It’s due to start showing in the US in June
