June 2013

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

New Zealand drama series about the investigation into the disappearance of a pregnant child. Slated to begin on the BBC in summer

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
A Canadian detective series with a hint of Columbo (in that we the audience are told before the protagonists who the baddie is).
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)
Confirmed as bought by E4, but they’ve moved it to Summer for this final season
Living has confirmed it has the rights and will bring us more of the Winchesters in 2013. They’ve also confirmed it’s coming ‘Summer’. If Living are true to previous form, it’ll be July/August. It’s been getting later and later each year…
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).

Ever since House and Wilson rode off into the sunset there has been space for a new medical drama in American TV land. Here is one contender from the quill of David Kelley, creator of Boston Legal, Ally McBeal and Chicago Hope.
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′.
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.
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.
John Hannah returns in Charlie Brooker’s silly police procedural spoof. Guessed return based on the first season’s broadcast.
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.
Begins filming in the spring, with a view to broadcasting in the Autumn. According to Martin Clunes, this will probably be the final series.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers stars as Dracula posing as a US entrepreneur in Victorian London. Showrunner is Carnivàle’s Dan Knauf. NBCUniversal coproduction with Sky Living.
Breaking Bad returns for its final 8 episodes in the US on Aug 11th 2013. Hopefully that should mean Netflix add the remaining episodes to the UK site Oct/Nov after the US finishes its run.
The Machine has picked Autumn for the start of season 2.
Runs June/July in the US, and usually Sept over here.
The FBI enlists the help of a specialist neuroscientist to help solve cases. Second season date guesswork for the moment- returns to American TV in summer
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.
Following a Christmas 2012 holiday special, the popular period drama has been re commissioned for a fourth outing, as we follow the fortunes of the Crawleys and their staff well into the 1920s. Will be broadcast on ITV in Autumn 2013
So it is out with the mythical court of Camelot and in with the mythical island of Atlantis. Same creators and same BBC One Saturday slot as Merlin, so expect more family friendly fantasy fun. Begins filming in Wales and Morocco in April, so we expect some casting news soon.

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.

The Golden Globe-nominated dark comedy starring Emmy-winner Edie Falco as a drug-addicted nurse returns. Was supposed to air in July, then got bumped, and is due back in the Autumn.

Has previously aired in October but season 10 was changed to January for Fox’s rebrand launch night. It remains to be seen which pattern will apply to 11.
Back with a shuffled cast, as Kelly, Simon & Alisha all leave. That leaves Curtis & Rudy to meet Jess – a kind of female Larry David (Karla Crome), Finn – a childlike naive optimist (Nathan McMullen) and the sexy, but suspiciously stand-offish Alex (Matt Stokoe). Season 5 will be it’s last.
Canadian period drama centred on the lives of four women working in a munitions factory during the Second World War. Date very much to be confirmed, assuming it will air on ITV3 again, and assuming it will air around the same time as season 1.
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

Recent series have aired in November and series 9 is due in 2013 at any rate

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
The Doctor and Clara are joined by David Tennant and Billie Piper again for this very special 50th anniversary episode.
December 2013

The period murder mystery drama returns

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.











Really showed s2 of Covert Affairs straight after s1.
Hi, I can see the TOM for Covert Affairs S3 has been given but what about S2? As S1 has only just finished. Thanks
i am looking for covert affairs, season 2, unfortgettable, rizzoli and isles season 3, new tricks season 1 on alabi, scott and bailey season 3 and if spartacua vengence will be shown again on sky one (and the next series of celebrity apprentice on ITV
Can I second the request for more information (if anyone has it) of the UK air dates of Psych 6?
When will the UK be getting
Hatfields & McCoys
True Detectives
Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome
Continuum
Hatfields & McCoys comes to the UK on Channel 5 this September
http://www.thetvking.com/news/430/historys-miniseries-hatfields–mccoys-comes-to-the-uk-on-channel-5/
Hi Chris,
Hatfields & McCoys – Sept on 5 as TV King mentioned.
True Detectives – Picked up by HBO, so it’ll be on Sky Atlantic.
Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome – In development hell… May appear as a movie, but don’t hold your breath…
Continuum – Doesn’t seem to have been picked up yet, but I’m also keeping an eye out for it!
ta very muchly..
Hi – I have asked about this before, but the posting was never answered. Please could you add Psych to your list. Many thanks.
Will Cougar Town be back on Living?
I never actually heard.
No official word on Cougar Town, but i’d be surprised if Sky Living didn’t pick it up given it was one of their highest rated shows…
I would also point out, it’s Sky Living though, so it’s equally possible they’ll drop it mid-season… or air it at 3am… backwards… in Esperanto…
Does anybody know when Lillyhammer will be broadcast on UK TV?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Chris,
‘Later this year’ for Lillyhammer on BBC4. No exact date yet though.
Cheers,
Dave
What about Grey’s Anatomy?
Hi Charlie,
No confirmation on Grey’s S9 yet, but it will be late 2012/Early 2013 probably. It’s not back in the US until late Sept.
Cheers,
Dave
Any news on Grey’s Anatomy?
so sky 1 showed weeds for a while and then screwed everyone by stopping it and then yay sky atlantic started showing it again but now look to have stopped it – what the hell was the point?!?!
Will Smash be back for a second season?
Plus Suburgatory season 1 has just started showing on E4 after New Girl, and its really good but can we expect to see season two as well?
I know it’s very early but you somehow manage to find the dates!
Hi DD,
Both SMASH! and Suburgatory got 2nd seasons. I’d expect them both to be back on their respective channels.
Cheers,
Dave
hey.. Any idea on ghost whisperer season 7.. Heard it wont be on again is that true?
Its been canceled no new seasons

Ghost Whisperer didn’t even have a season 6…
hi, new destination truth started on syfy at the beginning of july in u.s any one know when it might come over here? thanx
Sky is stupid! Supernatural has to wait 10 months on Living, but shows on Sky1 and Atlantic like Modern Family and Glee get shown a week after the US.
When does the new series of Beaver Falls start? Usually on E4
E4 still haven’t confirmed the air date but Beaver Falls will return in early August
http://www.thetvking.com/news/429/beaver-falls-series-2-e4-air-date/
according to TVWise E4 have confirmed it as Sund Aug 5th at 9pm
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/e4-sets-premiere-date-for-beaver-falls-season-two/
when is trollied and spy back on sky?
Trollied – Sept, Spy – Oct.
Looking for any info on rescue me series or underbelly series getting shown in uk
Thanks
Alistair
The entire series of Rescue Me is on UK Netflix and iTunes has up to season 5. As far as I am aware only the first 3 seasons have been released on DVD in the UK. As a result I can’t see any UK channel picking it up. Although it would be nice.
And finally, C5 have History channels Hatfields and McCoys
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/channel-5-acquires-uk-rights-to-mini-series-hatfields-mccoys/
Nice thanks.
FX UK has Da Vinci’s Demons
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/fx-uk-acquires-uk-rights-to-da-vincis-demons/
That is a strange one. As a BBC/Starz co-production I was expecting it to air on the Beeb in the UK. Any idea whether they have repeat rights.
BBC Worldwide is a for profit company. Just because they produced doesnt mean will end up on BBC. Its like assuming anything porduced by 20th Century Fox Television will end up on FX over here as they are both owned by News Corp
Todd & Book of Pure Evil moved to August 16th at 11pm
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/syfy-uk-moves-premiere-date-for-todd-the-book-of-pure-evil-season-two/
When will the lying game series one, part two be airing in the UK? I thought it was meant to be this month?
Apparently the lying game has been pushed to the begining of September, I think it’s because the Olympics are on and lots of people will be watching that (WHY I DON’T KNOW).
Oh welll at least they are going to show it unlike Parenthood Season 3?
With Parenthood season 3 Channel 5 say
“We do not currently have the rights to Series 3,and it is too early to say if we will acquire them.”
http://about.channel5.com/faqs/programmes-p-to-t
here is a list of brand new shows that are being made click link
http://www.imdb.com/list/2dRNqGdcPa8/
OH PS New Show Continuum with Tony Amendola(AKA Master Braytak from SG1) has been missed. Think Alcatraz crossed with Timecop looks good. All these shows have trailers on You Tube
Covered some of these (with videos) on the post that’s on the homepage:

Hi,
Just checked amazon regarding the release of White Collar – it has been put back again to March 2013.
Universal are advertising ‘the Finder’ as from the channel that brought you Suits and White Collar. Is there something going on that no-one knows about? Has it been picked up by a UK channel?
Sorry just read the board below and noticed that it is starting on ALIBI in September.
Thanks

post olympics is all we know so far
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/03/confirmed-bbc-three-has-uk-rights-to-wilfred-season-2/
Hi save, do you know when series 5 of castle will show in the uk? I assume it’ll be on alibi. Great website can I say has really helped me find some great shows so thank you!
Is ‘HELL ON WHEELS’ being renewed for a second season on TCM UK? If so, when?
Hell on Wheels was renewed for a another 10 episode second season showing in the US from August but i don’t know when we will get it.
Rizzoli & Isles season 3 is already airing in US. Any Idea when it will come to UK I’m guessing it will be on Alibi but can you also confirm channel
Persons of Interest starts Tuesday August 14th, 9pm
source: http://www.express.co.uk/features/view/332864/Vigilante-thriller-of-great-interest
That does add up if csi is shown as double episode before it finishes
Anyone know if the A&E series Longmire will be shown on UK TV? It was released in 2011 and has been renewed for a second season.
Are there any plans to show Kendra on Top in the UK? I’m missing my Kendra fix!
pretty little liars season 3. When the hell is it going to return to the uk so damm sick of waiting, it started ages ago in the us.
hey, the thing is PLL is one of the few shows that shows half its season in the summer and then has a 4 month break and starts up again with the second half of the season in january so just like last year its most likely coming back around november so it can air without the break in between and we’ll get an episode every week from the premiere until the finale so at least somthing good comes out of waiting!
Hey dan.. Yeah thats better.. I just hate waiting lol.. Soooooooo long till we hit november! Hope we get a solid date soon
when does bones season 8 start?and stand alone eps they mentioned any news on those?
Why is the Daily Show on Comedy Central Extra ? I was hoping to catch it in HD
Hey GT,

Thanks!
Georgia
Amazon have a pre-order for Chuck Season 5 DVD Region 2, pretty sure it said October 2012 release
We have finally managed to see the rest of season 2 of parenthood I was wondering if any channel in the uk plans to show season 3
is there a Chicago Fire date yet ?
UKTV Have Set a Date For Brand New USA Drama The Glades Will Start on Tuesday 11th September 2012 at 9pm on Alibi & Alibi HD and White Collar is Scheduled To Start in October 2012 on Alibi & Alibi HD.
[...] Geektown is a good website for when US shows will air in the UK http://www.geektown.co.uk/uk-air-dates/ [...]
Also Nurse Jackie? Sky Atlantic haven’t showed it yet.
Hi, does anyone know:
1. Will The Middle season 4 be showing on sky1 in the autumn?
2. Will Modern Family season 4 be showing as well?
3. Will that Tim Allen comedy Last Man Standing be showing in the UK? I would of thought e4 may have got it since it’s ABC but still nothing! Maybe Sky?
When is csi las Vegas season 12 comin to the uk?
It’s been on for ages. Episode 18 is on channel 5 tonight.
The Lying Game Season 2 has just started filming in the US so it won’t be shown until Autumn in the US. Channel 5 hasn’t even finished airing season 1 for over here so the info. you have is wrong. x
And the listings have been released for Channel 5 week beginning 30th July and still no sign of The Lying Game
What about Rizzoli and Isles series 3.
What about the new Eric Kripke series, Revolution?
Hi it says on here how to make it in America will be shown here after being shown in us but then it says its been cancelled? Is season 2 gunna be shown or has it been cancelled?
Hi Vicki, it has been cancelled, but season 2 hasn’t been shown in the UK yet.
As it’s now a cancelled show, it’s hard to say what will happen with How to make it in America, as Sky will be in no rush to air season 2… If it crops up again, i’ll post it.
Cheers,
Dave
Don’t Know Might have To Ask Dave To Do Some Digging About That.
Good News UKTV Have Picked 2 Brand New USA Drama For Alibi & Alibi HD They are The Glades and White Collar (Previously Shown on Bravo in 2010) Both Shows Will Be Shown This September 2012 on Alibi & Alibi HD.
Thank you Edward. That is indeed extremely good news. Do you happen to know if their broadcast will be from the beginning, or from the point of the sad loss of Bravo?
according to tvwise Alibi has S2 onwards
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/alibi-acquires-uk-rights-to-the-glades-white-collar/
I’m so glad someone picked up White Collar. Was cheesed off that it got ditched.
Here’s a link to UKTV with details on White Collar & The Glades.
http://uktv.co.uk/network/item/aid/653155
Looks like seasons 2 & 3 of White Collar
and 1, 2 & 3 of The Glades
Hallelujah!
Any uk air dates for season 7 Housewives of Orange County & season 2 Mob Wives??
Any update on return of Shameless USA (season 2)?
You mentioned June and no see as yet…
Thanks!
Channel 4 “have yet to secure the rights” was what press office told me
What is haPPENING with Terra Nova. Is no news good news?
Terra Nova got cancelled http://www.geektown.co.uk/2012/03/06/terra-nova-cancelled-by-fox/ this article http://www.geektown.co.uk/2012/01/06/will-there-be-a-terra-nova-season-2/ goes more into probable reasons why. Basically expense + not enough viewers + long production time = cancellation.
There has been news, lots of it! It’s on the cancelled/renewed page I think and tons of people have already asked on here! It’s been cancelled.
White Collar’s DVD release date has changed again to March 31 2013 which makes it’s status even more confusing.
Frankly bizarre that this DVD has been set back again.
Has anyone any info on whether this show will ever be broadcast by a UK provider, because Sky certainly have said that they have no plans to take up Bravo’s rights on the show.
pretty little liars season 3 mtv date, i have been trying ro find it for ages but no luck. Im addicted to it dieing to watch it lol.
THE LYING GAME
No sign of it on the 23rd, so who knows. I can’t believe they’re doing this in the middle of a season.
WHITE COLLAR
The fact that the DVD has been pushed back means nothing. It was supposed to be released in January 2012 but was pushed back, and we all got excited, but nothing. Now it’s been pushed back again.
SUPERNATURAL
Finally!
There will be an announcement from Syfy UK in a few months’ time regarding Flashpoint series 4 and 5.
These will not be broadcast before then.
Any ideas regarding Season 2 of Almighty Johnsons on Scyfy???
white collar dvd now put back to march 2013 so maybe a channel has now picked it up?
At last a Supernatural date. We have had to wait too long.
Channel 4 Have Confirmed That Series 2 of Homeland Will air This October 2012 on Channel 4 in There Drama Lineup. Also Series 2 of Franklin & Bash and Beaver Falls Will Air on E4 This August 2012.
Are there any news about Nurse Jackie on Sky Atlantic? Thanks
Game Of Thrones season 3 returns March 31st 2013 on HBO so that probably means April 1st on Sky Atlantic !
The Walking Dead season 3 premieres Sunday 14 October in the States, with premieres for Fox International Channels “locked in” for the following week. As FX UK is a Fox International Channel and following UK scheduling behaviour of the show for the past two seasons, it seems extremely likely that FX UK will premiere season 3 on Friday 19 October! The season premiere will also be 2 hours (incl. adverts).
Hi, I had White Collar S2 pre-ordered on Amazon – as above the release date was supposed to be end of July. Apparently though the DVD release date has now moved back to 31 March 2013!
Does this by any chance mean that a tv channel is perhaps going to show it in the uk? Especially seeing as both S2 and S3 are out on DVD in the US?
Is that really going to put csi miami on its lost it prim time tuseday 9oclock slot why what on insted
Well, knowing that csi Miami is finished, they won’t be looking to grow an audience for it anymore, so it will be further down the pecking order of programmes, and will probably carry a lot of adverts for other continuing programmes on the channel.
That said, I don’t think it matters much anymore when a programme is on first. With repeats, catch up tv, series links and so on, I really cannot remember the last time I watched scripted drama when it was actually first broadcast. TiVo does all the work and I watch at leisure. And I’m far from the most technologically advanced individual around!
Hey.
Thanks for the update on Anger Management. Cant wait for it to start!
Also, Just realised that season 1 of Breakout Kings finished last week. Do you know when the 2nd Season will start?
Thanks
Do u when beauty and the beast tv series is starting?
It’s not been picked up in the UK right now.
MTV USA Have Confirmed That USA Drama Teen Wolf Has Been Renewed For a 3rd Series with a Longer Run This Time of 24 Episodes. http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/mtv-renews-teen-wolf-for-24-episode-third-season/
When is the new season of the Glee Project on Sky1?? I think it’s started in the states already
Thanks
Hi, do u have an idea when Bones s8 and Grey’s anatomy s9 will be on sky living?
Thanks
UK Comedy Mount Plesant Starring Sally Lindsay, Bobby Ball and Angela Griffin is moving To a New Home From Sky 1 To Sky Living The 2nd series Starts on Wednesday 15th August 2012 at 9pm on Sky Living & Sky Living HD Sky Have Confirmed.
I know sky have said they’re not showing the final season of chuck, but sky never miss still says its coming 2012, is this true or is it that sky never miss is useless.
Aww… I love Sky Never Miss… Always the hopeful optimist.
It’s been saying coming 2012 since before Sky dropped it I think, so I wouldn’t read too much into it.
Thanks Dave
Is the air date for Supernatural definite this time? Sky living actually suck for pushing it back so much.
cannt wait for alphas season 2
Hi have u heard if any tv company in the uk has picked up Longmire and if so whats the date ?
I just noticed that the release of White Collar Season 2 has been pushed yet again, this time to March 2013! If they are going to show it on TV I wish they would hurry up! Was looking forward to buying it at the end of July
If that is not because it is to be broadcast in the UK in the meantime then it is very annoying indeed.
In case it is not, the region 2 DVD will be available in France (including amazon.fr) in September 2012, under the title “FBI duo tres special, saison 2″
Are you kidding me? Seriously? What the Fu*k. I’m so peed off with the UK wish I lived somewhere else. They are never going to show the series so please tell me why they push it back till next year.
Thank you whoever makes the UK rules of Televsion you suck
I surrendered and imported the region 1 dvd. Better than the first series. Tighter plots, more air time for Mozzie, and the bromance at full throttle. £18.99 on ebay at the moment.
DAVE the second part of The Lying Game will be shown on 5* at 8pm on the 23rd July 2012, why have you not put this up yet? Especially since many people have been asking on the comments “when will it be back?” Please put it on there
Well source came from The Lying Game UK facebook page…
I the press listings update today, Channel 5 have replaced The Lying Game with Rush Hour 2
Yep, that is true… I’ve added The Lying Game to Summer for now, until 5 actually decide on a date…
TV adds on 5* last night for the lying game said it was on 23rd but didn’t give a time.
Yeah, I saw them too, yet the listings update says Rush Hour 2, someone has their wires crossed at Channel 5
You know sometimes those TV listings are wrong, many times have I expected to see something because they have said so and something else will be on in it’s place so I will wait until next week when Tv & Satelite book comes out because usually they are pretty acurate.
I’m going to keep my hopes up that it starts on the 23rd. Fingers Crossed
how did you get 5′s press listings? Do they have a press website I dont know about?
hi does anyone know when body of proof season 3? and rizzioli and isles season 3? thank you
xx
Will covert affairs season 2 be running straight after the end of season 1?
Really have already shown Covert Affairs season 1 and 2, the September air date is for season 3
I’m watching covert affairs on Watch?
In that case, no it won’t be running straight after. Season 2 it’s listed for watch yet
Just Been Confirmed By Sky Living That Supernatural Series 7 Will Start on Wednesday 1st August 2012 at 10pm on Sky Living & Sky Living HD.
Epic !! Finally I cannot wait for Sam and Dean to come back
the listener started airing in the states on 30 may 2012 season 3
Any idea on when Season 6 of Ice Road Truckers will be on ? I know its not cult/sci-fi, but maybe just squeezes in under Geek
They have only just started airing it on History in the US and the ratings aren’t good. No UK air date set yet.
Oh and apparently there may not be a season 7.
Sounds about right, the only reason they seem to commission TV shows these days, is so they can cancel them! Can’t complain too much at 6 seasons though I guess
Hi, Any idea of the offical date for the return of Supernatural? Also the new series person of interest?
Thanks
Any idea if Sky Atlantic will be showing season 2 of Friday Night Lights as soon as the first season has finished airing?
Yes it will
Hi, have you any air dates for Real Housewives New Jersey season 3, Real Housewivwes New York season 5 and Real Housewives Orange County season 7? Thanks.
When is Glee season 3 and 4 back on channel 4? uve listed it as sky… and I know it takes longer to get onto channel 4.
Hi Jenny,
Glee won’t be back on 4, it’s exclusive to Sky 1 these days…
Cheers,
Dave
CSI: Miami season 10 UK air date will be July 21st
http://www.thetvking.com/news/421/csi-miami-season-10-uk-air-date-announced/
Supernatural Season 7 is set to show in August & Supernatural Season 8 is being shown in October in the U.S.A. which is quite stupid, would probably have to wait even longer for Season 8 to air in the UK
It is stupid that series 7 Of Supernatural is only being shown like 10 months after the US it’s frustrating and now that series 8 is on in the US in October I think that skyliving should do what fx did with True Blood and renew the contract and get it sooner to please the fans so sky won’t be in people’s bad books anymore if they did something like that and had series 8 on say march next year ? Yeah we’d have to wait but it’s better than a whole year which at this rate would seem the likely scenario so I say skyliving get a move on !
Classic BS from @sky_livingpr when someone tweeted them when they announced some ‘big news’ was coming “If it’s the Supernatural air-dates you should really announce WHY you’ve been so abysmal with this fantastic show!”
Their reply was “due to legal issues this is not possible. They have to make it first and air in the US…”, which is complete BS as they’ve shown it in Feb (prior to being Sky), and June last year. Plus it was actually scheduled this year for July, and they moved it (i have the pdf to prove it).
I love most of Sky’s PR guys. They’re great and friendly, but I have issues with @sky_livingpr, partly because I was apparently ‘pre-banned’ from their twitter feed without ever having even tweeted them… I think they rather miss the point of PR…
Well they better announce something soon coz if it’s I’m early August then that’s in like 3-4 weeks if they like the wednesday night slot so they better hurry up
it seems that DigiGuide now has Supernatural S7 on 1st August at 10pm…lets see how long if its stays in that time slot and day and not pushed back another few week
On the Facebook page “supernatural on sky living”, they claim dates earlier than August were third party speculation. When someone pointed out that it was sky living pr who tweeted a specific date in June, they did not respond.
I can understand why an episode must be shown on its home channel first. Falling Skies for example. And we get it a few days later. I can just about understand why a whole season might have to be broadcast at home first before in a secondary market, but as you point out, precedent contradicts that.
However, their response in no way explains the whopping 10 month delay. It is about as helpful and explanatory as the Euston classic “your train is delayed due to it being delayed”.
Sam and Dean who?
You know I went onto the air date page for back in 2010 and Supernatural started in February with a double episode. Now I can’t understand how that year was different to the following two years? How can they justify themselves, well simple explanation they can’t.
I’m so disappointed with the way Living has handled themselves this past two years they seem to like pissing their customers off.
The worst thing is that viewers are completely powerless if we protest and don’t watch the channel we just harm the shows we love
There should be some quality checks on their custmer service !!!
Louie ?
I can’t wait for Nashville to arrive on a UK channel.
Covert Affairs Sept 19
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/really-sets-uk-premiere-date-for-covert-affairs-season-three/
Hi have u heard if any tv company in the uk has picked up Longmire ?
yes unforgettable has been renewed after initially being cancelled it will come on summer 2013 which i am pleased about but i wan to know when csi miami is on it says soon on adverts but thats not good enough lol
HEY!
Part 2 of Season 1 of “The Lying Game” begins on 5* on 23rd July
The Lying Game has been bumped, and now 5* will be showing Rush Hour 2 on July 23rd according to the latest schedule changes.
Can you tell me what site you heard that the lying game was changing?
It was part of press listings update today
OMG what is going on today? Everytime I get on this site one of my favorite shows gets dropped from UK TV or pushed back until I’m away on Vacation so I can’t watch it when during the last few months I have sat in front of my TV twiddling my thumbs because there is jack Sh*t to watch on TV since everything has finished.
What is there reason for pushing it back to two weeks? HUH I’d like to know who makes these rules up and kick the crap out of them.
Sorry If I have been ranting too much I really am pissed off with everything.
Chin up, lad. It’s only TV. Falling Skies is on. It’s popular, and new. Line of Duty is on. It’s very good and the US isn’t getting it at all. CSI is on. A perennial favourite. Burn Notice starts on Monday. Leverage is still showing. Once upon a time. Castle. Eureka. The Killing. The Finder just started last night. There’s plenty of decent stuff to fill up your 2-3 TV hours per day. Have a nice holiday though.
Any news about a UK broadcast for Starz’ “Magic City” ?
Hi! I wondering if you know when Burn Notice will be coming back on to the UK channel 5USA? Its currently on season 4, a season behind FXUK. Thanks
It was meant to start in July but the date is removed from 5`s FAQ!
Any idea of when the next series of Grey’s Anatomy is being aired in the uk?
I check this page every day. It is the best site on the net x
Does anyone know if Sky Atlantic might ever show Oz ? I heard they acquired HBO’s back catalouge.
Hi, Can you please update that the Lying Game season 1 part 2 will be coming back on Monday 16th July.
Thanks
Liam
Actually, it’s not. Channel 5 have told me that due to a programming change the Lying Game will now resume on Monday, 23rd July at 8.00 pm on 5*.
Have sky released an air date for dexter 7 and has it been confirmed that it will air on sky?
Sorry, typo… It’s on FX.
Its Says Dexter season 7 is coming back but on Sky 1 in the UK. i thought FX still has the rights to Dexter till end of season 8
It’s just a typo. Just as Vegas and the Following are (sadly) on Atlantic and not Sky1
I really shouldn’t update this page in a hurry… All fixed now.
Hi, do you know when heartland series 5 is due to air on E4?
Can anyone tell me what happened to the second half of season 6 of 30 rock?
Mid season break
Break?! For what though? I thought they’ve shown all the episodes in the US.
Hey, any idea when season 2 of Awkward will be showing?
It will be this Autumn on MTV UK
What about series 5 of Californication, also is Breaking Bad series 4 a DVD release only
Hi Mark, best guess would be Autumn for Californication (Octoberish). Breaking Bad… won’t be on tv, but i suspect may pop up on Netflix before it appears on DVD as they had the 3rd season too.
Cheers,
Dave
When is dexter seaseon 7 airing in u.k on FX i know its u.s air date is september

I know it is only just about to start in the states, but any news on Covert Affairs season 3 on Really?
confirmed Really has it for autumn
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/06/acquisitions-roundup-uktv-renews-deals-for-grimm-suits-covert-affairs-bskyb-renews-deals-for-touch-fringe-more/
Im really angry that Sky Living have shown Nikita and Teen Wolf way before Supernatual. Its not fair.
Only just got round to watching the first episode of Whitney I recorded last week. And I dont know whether it’s been on for ages and the date here is completely wrong or they completely messed the order up as according to imdb and tv.com the episode shown on July 3rd isn’t episode 1 but episode 11
you’re not wrong, I just checked and that first episode was in fact episode 11. HAHA I cant believe they make us wait 9 months extra for something and then F up and cant even be bothered to show the right episode!!!! what a joke
I’ve checked next weeks episode and I think it is episode 2 so they might be in the right order after this. Well fingers crossed anyway
Can you tell me what has happened to, ‘A Gifted Man’ please. I have tried to sky+ the series, but it is not on, it should be airing tomorrow night on Watch. Thanks
A Gifted Man, Season 1 – Watch – 7th August 2012 at 9pm
(see list above)
Yes, I know that A Gifted Man was supposed to air tonight, but it is not on so wondering when the air date has been changed to?
This is July. It will air next month.
Ah, right, now that makes sense, but there is a mistake in the listings above as it is on the calender as 7th July and in the listings on the right of the page, yet when you scroll down the airings list it is posted as August. So I was only being partially stupid!!
Sorry about that, it’s fixed now.
Hi do you know when Awkward season 2 will air on MTV in the uk?
Thanks
MTVUK have said Awkward will be coming to the UK this Autumn
Can’t see anything on here (I may have missed it though!) anyone know when NCIS Season 10 will air? Thx
FX have started running ad stating that it’ll return in January 2013.
When will ANTM British Invasion air in the UK on Sky Living?
Any idea whats happening with canadian series Flashpoint. Need a date for the fourth series release in the U.K and info if they have started recording series 5 yet as it is due to start filming this year sometime.
This is covered below, so here is a copy and paste.
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.
Chris Im fed up of waiting for Flashpoint so Im gonna watch it online. Itl be ages before the UK get it and I cant wait any more to see what happened to Ed lol.
Yay Thank You!
Any word on when Awkward Season 2, Pretty Little Liars Season 3 & Teen Mom Season 4 starts on MTV?

Wheb is Chiccago Fire coming on UK screens ?

More4 usually airs Southland in the Autumn

http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/comedy-central-acquires-uk-rights-to-anger-management/
Hay , can you tell when season 5 of leverage will air in the uk ? And on what channel ? FX is showing season 4 now os “the new season” but theirs no sign of season 5 .
Thanks
Series 4 is the newest series as Series 5 has yet to be broadcast in both the US and the UK.
As per Series 3 and 4, it is likely series 5 will be bought by FX UK, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Thanks a lot , guess I’ll have to watch online
Hey there
Can you tell me when Awkward season 2 will be showing on MTV UK this year? I thought it was soon, as it has already started in the US.
Also, is Kendra showing on any channel in the UK this year? She changed from E! to WE in America…
Thanks!

Suburgatory will finally receive its UK premier on E4 Tuesday 17th July at 9:30PM, pairing with brand new New Girl at 9PM. Oh and the 9:30PM slot on Thursday will be a repeat of the Tuesday New Girl episode
http://www.thetvking.com/news/401/suburgatory-season-1-uk-premier-on-e4/
Do you happen to know when season 6 of Psych and Season 3 of Modern Family will air in the UK (I am trying to establish when they will be available on UK iTunes, which iTunes themselves will not tell me, but it normally follows TV air dates).
American Horror Story and NCIS were advertised as returning respectively sometime this Autumn and January 2013 during Falling Skies last night.
Any idea when the next series of The Game Of Thrones will be shown?
I know it’s not long since the last one finished but we are missing it already.
Thanks
It’ll probably be early April next year again.
Same time next year, they’ve only just begun shooting and casting. I know how you feel though I miss it too, I strongly suggest you get the books as they’re better.
When will Charlie Sheen’s Anger Management be broadcast in the UK?
Could you tell me when season 2 of the almighty johnsons will be aired on syfy in the uk
)
Does anyone know when BREAKOUT KINGS Season 2 will be broadcast over here, it has already been shown in the US, are we going to have to wait as long as we did for Season 1?
It was cancelled after season 2, so maybe it won’t be shown.
Universal bought the UK rights to both series at the same time, so I think it will be shown, I just wondered if anyone had any idea when
I’ve just read that there is going to be a season 4 of Eastbound & Down. Variety and Empire had stories on it.
When wil season three of bored to death be aired in the UK?
Any ideas about CSI Miami, Last Man Standing, Scandal & Suburgatory?
I’ve heard that CSI Miami has been cancelled in the US. You may want to check it out.
It has indeed been cancelled but we in the UK still have one series to watch. It returns shortly to channel 5 and is listed above.
Suburgatory’s UK air date is Tuesday 17th July at 9:30 on e4

Thank you
Yeah it’s not right they are always mucking the times about we are already 8months behind America. Sky have really gone down hill lately, they are soo money orientated
sky living are repeating season one of supernatural from next week. This is a cop out for all the disapointed fans who are now having to wait until August instead of July. They think they can make it up to us by repeating season one instead. Its not the same and its not good enough.
Best thing I have read all day!
I cannot believe it has took this long for Supernatural Season 7 to air in the UK. Its pathetic.
People are going to start forgetting what happened if it is delayed any longer. Although, I for one.. wont forget what happened at the end of S6 speaking as a true Supernatural fan!:D <3
Lets just hope Sky Living dont delay it until September. With the amount of people wanting it, you would think it would of being on long before this!
Whos up for emailing Sky Living?……………………………….
Who wants to write lots of emails to sky living complaining about the date for supernatural honestly sky tv is getting worse everyday they are useless
Yes I certainly do. It is not fair how this show is treated. It really isnt.
Their Facebook site is full of similar sentiment yet it seems to make no difference.
How do you get in touch with Sky Living. ?
Hi Julie, it’s easy just go on to mtvs website and it says contact us click on that and write your email.
Trollied returns to Sky1HD in August.
Sorry just saw teen wolf and the vampire diaries but what about secret circle?

Secret Circle got canceled
Teen Wolf series 2 is due to return to the UK on Sky Living Thursday 12 July 2012 at 20:00
TNT have renewed Dallas for a second season and Rizzoli & Isles for a 4th season.
http://www.thetvking.com/news/409/tnt-have-renewed-dallas-for-a-second-season/
hi,can u tell me when sons of anarchy 4 will be aired on sky uk, series 3 was on fx last year….thenk you
Sons of Anarchy series 4 was shown earlier this year on 5USA after FX dropped it. Series 5 will be on 5USA in 2013. 5USA and occasionally channel 5 are showing repeats. They started from series 2.
Apparently coming soon to Netflix
Erm when did FX have Sons Of Anarchy I don’t remember that ? I do recall the show starting out on Bravo.
Sorry my fault, Sons of Anarchy premiered its first 2 seasons on Bravo in the UK before being repeated on 5USA. Then once Bravo ended 5USA picked up Sons of Anarchy repeating seasons 1 and 2 before premièring season 3 and then earlier this year season 4.
However before 5USA picked up Sons, there was speculation that it would move to FXUK as Sons is made in the US by FX and it would fit with the UK line-up. However that didn’t happen.
Sons of Anarchy will run for 7 seasons if Kurt Sutter gets his way and season 5 is due to start in the US this Autumn likely September and then in early 2013 on 5USA in the UK.
For those fans wanting to watch season 4, the box set will be released this August and now at last for those who have Netflix in the UK, you can watch season 1, 2 and 3 on Netflix UK http://www.thetvking.com/news/411/sons-of-anarchy-comes-to-netflix-uk/ . They will probably also get season 4 when the box-set is released.
Seven seasons nice that seems ideal.
I would love to have seen SOA on FX simply so I could view it in HD.
I read on Wikipedia that the new series of Dallas will air on channel 5 in September
it will and they have already renewed it for a 2nd season
Hey,
Anyone one know when tron uprising the Disney cartoon will be airing in the uk?
If anyone is as annoyed as my wife about Supernatural’s continued absence from Sky’s schedules, S7 (region free blu ray) can be bought from Amazon.com for about £32 plus postage. Released 18 September…
Thank you for that. I think we would all sinversely hope it appears on British tv before then, though.
I doubt it, they seem to be deliberately preventing it being shown. God knows why. The fiasco also appears to be delaying the launch of the DVDs. What makes it even worse is that season 8 starts showing in the US in October!
New girl is on e4 on 10th July. There was an advert on e4 last nite, however didn’t state the time.
it’s a double bill 9PM to 10PM and the 2nd of the 2 episodes episode 13 will be repeated on Thursday 12th 9:30PM

When is Weeds season 7 (shown last year in the US) likely to be shown by Sky Atlantic?

It’s back on ITV2 this coming Monday at 9:00pm.
Ooops, sorry. Obviously still half asleep. It’s Hell’s Kitchen that’s back on Monday.
Any further news on when Shameless US will air its second season over here? I’m also interested in when we can expect to see Awkward. Season 2 on MTV.
So sky Atlantic are going to show only season 1&2 of Friday night lights and then stop it. Glad I started watching it now
Please tell me you’re joking ?
o god i hope that isnt true
All sky have told me is that as yet, they haven’t done a deal for the final 3 seasons of Friday Night Lights.
So cross your fingers and hope.
Apparently, CSI: Miami season 10 (the final one) returns to Channel 5 on Saturday 21 July, and Person of Interest has been pushed back to August…
Saw advert this morning for Strike Back Season 3 in September (rather than October) on SKY
Just watched Bedlam from last night and at the end the woman said that the people in Bedlam could need a visit from Sam and Dean because Supernatural returns soon go to sky.com and never miss to know when it come back
so it is defo back and seeing as Bedlam has 6 eps it probably will be the 18th of July
Arrested Development is coming to the UK on Netflix new season premier 2013
Hi is there any news on Sky Atlantic continuing to run Friday Night Lights?
They have shown the first season, but the uk airing is a good few years behind the US.
Thanks
Sky Atlantic have the rights for the first 2 series, which were shown initially by ITV4 in the UK.
Hi do you know when Chatlie Sheen’s new show Anger Management will be on in the UK? Thanks Gemma
Pretty little liars August 15th 2012 at 9pm.
Hi Haley
Where have you heard about that? I don’t think it will be that early because if they start this early we will have to have a gap like America does.
Anyway I hope that’s the case because I’m away in August and getting sick of all my favorite shows being held off until the summer.
says who??
I still say its back in november to avoid the mid season break, if they were gonna air it with the long break halfway through the season it would have been back already
Hey Hayley, where did you get the date for pll season 3 from, are you sure. Because im dying for it lol can’t wait. Thanks
The Vampire Diaries I expect to be back Oct/Nov because it’s not returning to October in the USA on The CW.
Firefly returns on 13th July.
But before you get too excited, it is a reunion panel at Comic-con 2012, and will include Joss Whedon and Richard Castle.
I remember awhile back an obscure movie channel on Sky showed a re-run of Firely, I think it was the Horror Channel.
Anyone know if/when Hatfields and McCoys is coming to the History channel ?
New Girl has been confirmed as returning on E4 on 10th July with episodes 13 and 14 double bill – thank god for that!!!
They certainly took their sweet time
Natalie, the listings have the double bill as episodes 12 and 13 along with having episode 13 repeated at 9:30PM on Thursday night.
ah right well I was just copying what E4 said in their tweet
Yeah, I saw the tweet but it doesn’t match the Channel 4 press listings.
Sky Living have just tweeted confirmation that supernatural season 7 will air the beginning of August but have given no date as yet!!
To those so inclined, here is a poll regarding Breaking Bad, and the article contains a quote from our host, Dave.
http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2012-06-27/would-you-like-to-see-breaking-bad-season-five-on-british-tv5
Any ideas about continuum coming to the uk. Lexa Doig has been tweeting along with the American broadcasts for a few weeks now. I think its a Canadian show.
Thanks
Hi, any definate news on Supernatural Season 7 yet? Thanks
Hi – if you check above its confirmed as back on 18th July.
I cant see where it says that. Do you mean in the chart ?
Geek Town ‘thinks’ its back on the 18th July but it’s not been officially confirmed yet……sighs
It’s not confirmed yet, just likely.
I thought Person of Interest was meant to air in July?

Hey has there been any new on Rizzoli and Isles Season 3 yet?
Any word on series 8 of peep show or new series of qi I know both have been or are filming just now.
You Forgot To Put up The Simpsons on your list The Show Returns on Sunday 8th July at 6pm & 6:30pm Starting With The Food Wife and Then Homer becomes an Author on Sky 1 & Sky 1 HD Confirmed Last Week by Tvwise.co.uk and Sky 1.
top gear usa 6/7/2012 bbc three
Think Top Gear USA is actually earlier than that. Looks to be 29th June.
BFI are holding a screening for the 1st episode of Doctor Who on Aug 14th. They’re normally around a week ahead of transmission so either 18th or 25th Aug would be a good guess. I’d think it’ll be 25th as that’s bank holiday weekend.
Probably also impacts Merlin, assume that will run when Doctor Who takes a mid season break and run through till Xmas (didn’t they do that last year and get bumper viewing figures for the last couple of episodes?)
Thanks for that Dave!
14th is a Tues, so i’m guessing the 18th Aug. If you count it out…
It’s 14 episodes split between 2012/13.
The 6th episode is airing Christmas Day 2012.
So, start on the 18th – 5 episodes takes you to the 15th of Sept.
Then 13 episodes of Merlin means it’ll finish on the 15th of Dec and the following weekend is Christmas.
That all seems to fit, and gives us a Merlin start date too.
Cheers,
Dave
