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

After an uncharacteristically long gap between Series 18 and 19, things appear to be back to normal, with two series per year. Well, as normal as things can ever be with these three!

Confirmed by UKTV as back in April, then seemingly changed to june
The boys are back, as Woody, Quinn, Baxter and Rick are joined by a new face played by Jaime Winstone. Renewed for a final 2 episode 4th mini season after this. DVD release was set for 29 April but has moved to 1 July, to accommodate a change from April to June broadcast.
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
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).
Renewed for a 4th season, and should be back late Summer 2013
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.
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.
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

Detective Longworth relocates to south Florida from Chicago following a false accusation. Three seasons have aired thus far in America, with a fourth ordered

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.
Yet another US show with a British lead, this time the young boy from Spiderwick. Taking its inspiration from Hitchcock’s Psycho, this new series begins in the US in 2013. Being brought to us Brits courtesy of Universal
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
Patrick and the team return. Will they ever get close to Red John? Date currently guesswork based on previous years
Recent series have aired in November and series 9 is due in 2013 at any rate
The fifth season of the acclaimed cop drama has yet to get a UK date but season 4 began in November 2012 so that’s a guess for now
After season 3′s divisive finale, the blockbuster zombie show, starring Brit Andrew Lincoln as Rick, returns to lead the way for American cable productions
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

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.
Hi, any idea on when Bones is back?
Season 8 is back in America mid-September, so if last year’s licence pattern is followed, we shoulod see it begin either late September or early October.
ITV 2 Have Picked Up USA Supernatural Drama 666 Park Avenue (ABC) Starring Terry o Quinn Locke from Lost and Vanessa Williams Wilomena From Ugly Betty. Also ITV 2 have Picked Up 3 Brand New USA Comedies Up All Night (NBC), Ben & Kate (Fox) and Animal Pratice (NBC).http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a401348/edinburgh-tv-festival-live-blog-angela-jain-on-itv2-in-2012.html It was Annouced at the Edingborough TV Festival by The ITV 2 Controller While Talking to Rick Edwards the TV Presenter and they showed previews aswell.
Excellent news. And a fitting supernatural acquisition for the channel that lost Supernatural to Living. This one looks very promising.
Damages season 4 is available on Netflix
Continuum on SyFy UK in late September !
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/syfy-uk-acquires-rights-to-canadian-series-continuum/
Any idea when breakout kings season 2 will be aired on universal?
On IMDB’s x-files page there is a picture of a guy with a charred/melted face holding a gun ive just finished my x files boxset and dont have clue what episode this is from any info would be great this has been bugging me for weeks thankyou!
It could be officer Philbrick in the episode “Medusa” (Season 8).
Do u know when pretty little liars will be airing on MTV uk
It has already been airing – we have already seen the first two seasons.
Season 2 broadcast in November 2011, and there’s nothing to suggest it won’t be November again this year.
I know this isn’t a “new” show but over the last few months Alibi has been showing the excellent “The Closer” (Season One, Two and Three) (while More4 have the rights to Season 7.))
Any idea who owns the rights for season Four/five/six? And when they may be shown?
I know this is quite a specific question so don’t hold out much hope.
Thanks.
Channel 4 (group) has the rights but has no plans at present to repeat seasons 4-6. You might be better with one of the DVD rental services such as LoveFilm.
So excited about a confirmed date for The Lying Game, thank you for keeping it up to date.
Just wish a UK broadcaster will pick up Melissa & Joey, everything I’ve seen on YouTube looks amazing, just hope a channel acquires the rights soon!
Melissa & Joey season 1 with 30 episodes is available on Netflix in the UK, so I doubt any UK TV channel will pick it up now.
By the way, for those of you that are regular posters, you may have noticed, Andrew has now officially part of the GeekTown team, and has agreed to help modding/editing the air dates with me (it was all getting a bit too much work for 1 person!) Just wanted to say welcome.
Cheers,
Dave.
Congrats to Andrew
Good stuff! He is a fountain of knowledge.

Excellent news
ITV1 Sets Premiere Date For ‘The Bletchley Circle’ Thursday September 6th
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/itv1-sets-premiere-date-for-the-bletchley-circle/
Is there any news if scandle (abc) is going to come to the uk?
And is their any news about weather sky living are going to run greys anatomy in two parts again?
Alex do you mean Scandal, the political drama? If so, then I am afraid thus far no UK channel has owned up to buying it.
As for Grey’s Anatomy, this will depend entirely on the date on which it begins here. The UK channels have no say over the break in the middle as this is an American occurrence.
As Dave has explained before, the UK channel either pleases those who want everything right away but have to put the break in the middle, or hold off until about January so they can broadcast all at once.
The situation is not unique to this programme.
Channel 5 have announced, in their press listings that The Lying Game will return to 5Star on Thursday 6th September at 8PM.
http://www.thetvking.com/news/444/the-lying-game-uk-air-date-on-5star-confirmed/
Thank you both TVking and Andy. That has been updated above.
Please would everybody who posts, take a short moment to read the new notes at the top of this page. Thank you very much.
Lying Game returns Sept 6th at 8pm on 5*
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/5-sets-uk-return-date-for-the-lying-game/
confirmation of Dallas on 5th sept @ 9pm
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/channel-5-sets-uk-premiere-date-for-dallas/
I know I asked this before but this time is there any news on SEASON 3 of Happy Endings?
It starts a bit later in America this year, in October, so all things being equal, January for us would be a good guess
Digiguide has Doctor Who returning next Saturday (1st) at 7.20pm!
When is the new season of cougar town back on sky living?
The newest season (season 3) has already aired on Sky Living, back in March.
While it has been renewed for a fourth season, this has yet to be aired in America. It won’t be until 2013, and will be on a different channel. So it would be difficult to speculate on a UK date until the new US channel confirmed a US date.
Not to mention a possible name change since its gone away from its original story
Do you known when “Married To Jonas” will air in the UK? All I know is it will be on E! and the 1st episode aired on the 19th in the US.
Where a British version of the American channel exists, programmes are often, but not always, shown on their old-world counterparts.
An example would be Alphas – made by Syfy and broadcast on Syfy, but sold to Channel 5 in the UK and broadcast on 5* rather than Syfy UK.
Married to Jonas, as far as I am aware, has not been confirmed by E! UK, and if they do end up broadcasting it, a date has yet to be announced.
Any idea when the horror Chanel will be showing season 2 of Jericho? I watched season 1 ages ago thinking they would show season 2 soon after but they have started showing season 1 again!
Dallas set to make it’s UK premier on Wednesday 5th September at 9PM on Channel5
Great…. Can’t wait…
dont think so theres a CBB eviction in that slot
Hmmm, a face off between too much reality and too little, in the same slot. I’ve labelled it TBC for now – I believe there is a launch party for Dallas today so it’s conceivable they will confirm the date and time during that.
the CBB eviction slot has been split and Dallas inserted according to the latest press listings from Channel5
9pm has now been confirmed by Radio Times
Hiya!
Do you know when they are going to play Flashpoint Season 3 on Universal please
Thanks
Vicx
It has already aired.
However, with season 2 currently being repeated, it is not outwith the realms of possibility that they will repeat season 3 before season 4 shows up later in the year.
Do you know when season 3 of Miranda will be aired in the UK?
Thanks!
Sammie. It is likely to be November based on previous broadcasts, but please note the change of channel from BBC Two to BBC One.
When will ANTM cycle 18 start in the UK been ages since last season!
We have to get through the dreadful Britain and irelands Next Top Model first! We are 2 series behind the US because we have to have our own ones on first. Next series should be ANTM All Stars with old conestants on it.
We already had All-Stars.
The next cycle will be British Invasion and air in the Autumn. It’s the same every year.
BINTM is not awful!
So we did! Oops!
Haha, I don’t like BNTM but mostly because of the new judges. X
Could you add Smash season 2 to your list. I’m guessing it will be back April(ish).
Do you have any dates for Touch and Alcatraz?
Touch will be back in October and Alcatraz has been cancelled.
I can’t remember the names of all the new dramas on Bbc or itv that have been advertised recently. Anyone got a list of them so I can search or if someone has a list that would be great. Thanks
The six BBC autumn dramas are all listed above. The ITV autumn dramas advertised are Mrs Biggs (focussing on the wife of the great train robber), Mr Selfridge (starring the excellent Jeremy Piven (Entourage) as the eponymous retail tycoon), A Mother’s Son (Martin Clunes), The Last Weekend (Rupert Penry-Jones, which began on 19th August, and a little programme called Downton Abbey.
Cheers dude. Will you be putting the itv dramas on the above list.
Hi guys
Have you got any news on Emily Owens MD coming to UK tv?
Thanks and as always keep up the fab work
)
Hello Chrissy
That is one of the several new American shows for 2012 that have yet to be bought by a UK channel (or at least confirmed as bought).
Whilst not all new American shows will be broadcast in the UK, this one doesn’t even air in the US until mid October, so there’s plenty time.
Oh thanks, I’ll watch this space then
))
i see that suspect behaviour, protector and perception (YAY!!!!) have been added as oct 2012. I hope this is true. Where did this info come from? not seen anything on DS???
Hi, could you let us know when the US series of Boss with Kelsey Grammar will be aired in the UK. Thank you.
Unfortunately not. Whilst discussions have probably been held, and interest expressed, no UK channel has yet confirmed it has bought the licence, so it remains in the Unknown section for now.
Amanda Redman quits ‘New Tricks’
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a400297/amanda-redman-quits-new-tricks.html
Any news on when Body of Proof is goin to start?
Emily. It is a midseason, so begins in America in January. It ran about 4 months later here last time, so on that basis – April or May 2013.
Any early word if 5 USA have the rights to Justified Season 4? They took there time getting the 3rd, I hope it doesn’t take as long to sort out this time?
Thanks, love the site.
Thank you Terry.
We had season 3 not too long after the US airing. Season 4 doesn’t yet have a premiere date in America, but it’s usually in the first quarter. If that follows pattern, no reason to assume we won’t get it at the same time next year.
House of Lies is confirmed for Autumn along with Nurse Jackie.
Sky1 “Sundays” is :
Simpsons
Raising Hope
Sinbad
A Touch Of Frost
Strike Back: Vengeance
don’t you mean A Touch Of Cloth
Thanks DD. I’ve moved those from Summer to Autumn.
Mark, yes, probably correct.
Lol. Yeah…. Sorry.
Glee and Glee Project will be running side by side on Sky1 this September…… The cast doesn’t film the whole season in anticipation of the Glee Project winner. So Sky will broadcast a few episodes and then the winner will come in half way through.
New Tricks returns to BBC One on Monday, August 27 at 9pm.
Thank you Mark. That’s been added
The latest issue of SFX states that The Secret of Crickley Hall will air in October and Suranne Jones (the star) said in an interview that it would be shown at Hallowe’en. With three episodes that could mean over three nights leading up to Hallowe’en (i.e. Mon, Tues and Wed).
Thanks Dom. Hmmm, and here’s me thinking Noel Edmonds was the star. Anyway, I’ve moved it to the October section.
Have you heard any talk of a UK network picking up USA Network’s ‘Political Animals’?
Thanks,
Amy
P.s. And thanks for keeping this website so up-to-date – it’s so useful, I’d be lost without it!
Amy, you are most welcome. Political Animals is rather American and may not sell well outside its domestic market. So far, only to one of the smaller Canadian channels I believe. I haven’t heard of any UK channel buying it, but as ever if anyone does, please stick a note here.
Thanks for the quick reply Andrew.
I was thinking Sy Atlantic would be the best fit for it, though it may be a little too ‘soapy’ for them. Fingers crossed, as I’ve heard mostly only good things about it.
universal channel were considring it according to tvwise from back in june. Dunno if they still are
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/06/uk-broadcasters-on-the-lookout-for-new-acquisitions/
I know season one is far from over, but just were wondering when abouts season 2 of Revenge will air on E4. Many thanks.
Charlie, nothing thus far to suggest it will be anything other than the same time next year, i.e. May.
Yeah, despite that I hope it could come a little earlier next year, as Happy Endings season 1 started really late and ended up having season 2 come straight after!
Hi it’s season 8 for Criminal minds not season 7
Any idea when Spy season 2 starts? It was on Sky1. Pretty sure it was on around the last time Trollied was on.
If you have a look at the list above, under October, fourth one from the bottom, you will see Robert and Darren in all their comedic silliness shouting “Look at me, look at me”.
know that series 3 of the closer coming to an end on alibi (uk) but was wondering if they airing series 4, and if so when?
Any idea when Criminal Minds Season 8 will be on in the UK? According to IMDB it starts in the US 24 Sept?
Thanks x
If Sky Living follows last year’s date, it should air in early October. I’ve added it in there. Thanks
Will you be changing it to the 2012/2013 series and be finding most renewed shows?
Jess, yes in due course this page and all its comments will be archived and a new page for the 2012/13 season will appear. For the time being, you can see most of the renewed shows and any new arrivals to these shores, right here on this page.
Hi wondered if u can help I watch sons of guns on discovery uk watch an episode called wedlock & load then the next week it was reruns of old episodes and looked on web and everybodies asking but nobody seems to know when next new episode is on its on in USA but not here could you help many thx Richard
That episode is the final one of season 2. Although season 3 has recently finished airing in the US, there was a gap of about 6 weeks between the end of 2 and the start of 3.
So if it’s running to the same timeframe here, season 3 should appear in late September.
When will jesery shore air in the uk
Nothing announced yet, that I’m aware of. If anyone knows otherwise, please let us know.
I think they are still, or have just finished, filming it over the summer so probably a wee while yet.
Any info on E4 for Happy Endings? Season 1 aired so will season 2?
PS: Girls will air on Sky Atlantic in SEPTEMBER! Not Autumn (TBC)! It’s confirmed on their website.
Happy Endings Season has already aired and finished x
Meant to say season 2
yes, Happy Endings season 2 followed on from season 1 on E4
September is in Autumn
But thank you for spotting that – that’s the community spirit!! Updated in the chart now.
Uni have S4 & S5 of Fkashpoint. S4 stars “late 2012″
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/acquisitions-roundup-blue-bloods-flashpoint/
Thank you Andy – that ought to be in the list and is now. Apparently the date will be announced via syfy.co,uk in due course.
Hi, Please can anyone tell me if there is a UK Airdate for ‘Bullet in the Face’? Thanks
Channel 5 drop californication
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/5-drops-david-duchovnys-comedy-series-californication/
Thank you. That is updated now.
Any solid date for The Middle, Modern Family & Moone Boy? I know they’re back September for SURE!
All listed above as September. We should know the dates fairly soon.
Any word on The Hour 2 coming to BBC2? Just seen an ad for it but no dates…
It is due back in Autumn but no exact date yet.
Doctor Who is not back on Sept 1st!
According to the BBC, Doctor Who returns in September. It airs on Saturdays. BBC America, which is unlikely to air it before BBC One, is showing 1st September.
Channel 5 have Confirmed that Once Upon a Time Series 2 Will be back in Early 2013.
Thank you Edward. That has now been added.
Have you heard of another series of bones in 2013 as I read that it was taking that year out???
Series 7 was only a half order (roughly) due to Deschanel’s pregnancy. It will return next month with series 8, which is a full order. The creator is not intending series 8 to be the last, but the decision will not likely be made on a series 9 until the usual timeframe of March-May 2013.
You may have heard about comments made by Boreanaz suggesting series 8 might be the last (a full year out would be pretty terminal for most programmes), but this has been denied by Hanson (the creator) and some commentators suggest it might either be Boreanaz playing around, or subtly beginning his salary negotiations early.
Bear in mind two things:
1) Contracts for both Boreanaz and Deschanel are up at the end of series 8 and a series 9 would require their renewal in some form
2) House, which was also on Fox, ended at series 8 with similar(ish) viewing figures.
Legend! Thank you
Still nothing in Superheros that’s meant to start on Sky Atlantic tomorrow? I can’t find anything on it…
Hi Kyle, it’s moved – Superheroes – Sky Atlantic – 23rd August 9pm
Does any1 know when Person of Interest is gonna start? Or if there’s gonna be a series 2 of Persons Unknown or even Touch?
Person of Interest began last night.
Persons Unknown was cancelled, I think.
Touch will return in October
It’s repeated tonight on 5* or 5 usa I think (not near my tv so can’t check). X
Jenn is right. Person of Interest is repeated on 5USA on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It is also available on demand5 (online but oddly not on TiVO).
Will be interesting to see who picks up Matthew Perry’s new comedy Go On, if any. Answers on a postcard, place your bets now etc etc …..
Hey
Has anything been said about the new US drama Cult? Thanks
Any info on The Closer’s spin off (Major Crimes) airing in UK?

~ pokemaster
Ah okay, thank you
Hi, do you know when series 13 of CSI (Vegas) is airing in the UK? Series 12 just finished on Channel 5 and I believe series 13 airs in the US at the end of Sept 2012. Thanks

Broadwalk Empire Has been moved to the 29th of September Now
Hey. Any news on J.J Abram’s new series “Revolution”? It Airs in the US in September. Any chance we may get it over here anytime soon?
Cheers
Sadly not yet. Jericho (sorry, I mean Revolution), along with Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue (and others) have yet to be confirmed by any UK channels. We quite possibly will still get them, but it’s probably rather late for any broadcast close to the US dates.
Oh sorry I think heartland may be airing on e4 but I’m not 100% sure
Heartland has been airing on E4 but they have yet to announce a date for series 5. There is no UK DVD date yet (which can often be a sign that a TV broadcast is still to come), but if you are really impatient and have a multiregion player, you can buy the DVD from Canada next week.
Hi could you please maybe find out when heartland season 5 will be showing in the uk? Or when it will be available to buy in uk? Xx
boardwalk empire has now been confirmed for 29th september according to the sky atlantic website
hey does anybody know when rizzoli ans isles is back for the new season on alibi ????
thanks
Is True Blood really going to be shown on Monday the 17th ? Great news just usually it’s a Friday.
Has 666 Park Avenue been picked up in the UK? Many thanks, Iain,
Like a number of the other new American programmes this autumn, no British channel has yet confirmed ownership. That doesn’t mean there is no interest being expressed, nor that contractual agreements are not already being discussed. It just means we won’t see it right away.
Thanks for the info Andrew.
Any idea when CSI NY is back?
As far as I can remember, that has always been January / February and there is nothing so far to suggest otherwise this time
Sky Atlantic is currently repeating season 2 of Boardwalk Empire, so on the date you think Season 3 will air, the repeats will only be up to episode 8. Surely they’ll finish the season 2 repeats before the premier of season 3. If that’s the case, the likely air date for Boardwalk Empire Season 3 will be October 26th.
Man I hope I’m wrong
You’ve got “superheroes” as starting on Sky Atlantic on the 16th of August at 9pm but too big to fail’s airing at this time and I can’t find anything for “Superheroes” on any channels on Sky and can’t find anything for the show online??
Is there any info on copper imdb says us air date 19 august
Hay ,
Anybody know if there is a confired air date for the new series of Hawaii Five-0 ?
I know its on the list as TBC but iv herd rumours it might be airing late 2012 (oct/nov) as
opposed toJan2013 .
any info ?
Another heads up for repeats: Alibi is showing season 3 of Castle, daily at 11pm, from this Friday (17th). They also look to start repeating s4 from Wednesday.
any news on Animal Practice coming over here
Hi,
Do you know the release date, for the final season (4) of Teen Mom, it’s about halfway through the season already over in America?
Hi can you tell me when ringer sky living and secret circle sky living
Thanks ????
As noted below, further below and on the renewed / cancelled page, neither of those programmes will return.
I totally agree. This website is incredibly informative and well documented, yet some really lazy people feel the need to ask (without even saying a basic please or thank you) when show’s will return even when a few comments below it has already been stated. Some people that ask if there is going to be another season of something should go on Wikipedia or IMDb or this website’s cancellation and renewal page and stop being so bloody lazy and do some work for themselves. Rediciouly badly mannered people abusing this website.
That’s a bit over the top! It’s annoying but it’s hardly ‘abusing the website’! And she did say thanks.
You’ve listed that Sky Atlantic are showing Superheroes this week. But checked the tv guide and it’s not listed.
there has been alot of talk about the new show with the brilliant Elizabeth Mitchell called REVOLUTION
do you know when the UK will get to see this new show ???
the US are getting it in september , but so far i can see no date for the UK. It looks like it is going to be a great show and so i cant believe the UK hasnt got any info on it !!!
can you help please.
thanks
)))
Channel 5 Have Picked Up The Second Series of Once Upon a Time and it will Be Shown in Early 2013 So either January or February 2013. http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/channel-5-closes-deal-to-acquire-uk-rights-to-once-upon-a-time-season-2/
C5 confirmed to Have S5 of Mentalist for Oct/Nov
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/channel-5-closes-deal-to-acquire-uk-rights-to-the-mentalist-season-5/
i saw this and it looks like 5 * is not picking up Californication
I know that article seemed to indicate that both parenthood and californication were goners. Time will tell i guess
hey dont dismiss Blue Bloods or Ill go Magnum on your ASS. this is good drama and blame the yanks for not watching good programmes. like Chase and Alcatraz. its coz they dumb shits who aint smart enough to watch anything with an IQ of Sesame street
Hi, do you know anything about the spin-off of The Closer, called Major Crimes, and when it might be coming to the UK?
Thanks
BLUE BLOODS 3 why oh why? The amount of shows that are being canceled at the moment and they come with 24 more episodes of this @$*!@$%&**%$£@$*!@$%&**%$£@$*!@$%&**%$£@$*!@$%&**%$£@$*!@$%&**%$£
Blue Bloods is the top-rated show on Friday nights in the US, averaging over 12 million viewers. CBS would be crazy to cancel it and the straightforward decision to renew it for a third season had exactly ZERO to do with the cancellation of any other show. CBS cancelled fewer shows than any other network this summer, the only dramas to go in the end were A Gifted Man and CSI Miami and I can’t believe these are the shows you’re mourning.
So that’s the answer to your why oh why? The US networks renew or cancel shows for lots of reasons. Ratings are the main one, but also syndication revenue and studio deals are a factor. Sadly a lot of good shows bite the dust for reasons other than quality.
Still, it IS rubbish…..
any news on the The Listener?
Has Up All Night come to the UK at all?
For anyone who missed it previously, 5* is starting season 1 of the Sarah Connor Chronicles on Tuesday 14th August, 9pm.
Did it end on a cliffhanger?
Unfortunately, yeah.
Hi – any further details on exact return dates for Revenge Series 2? Also, any firm dates for Homeland Series 2?
Thanks, Helen
I think you’re getting a bit too excited about Revenge! Season 1 is still airing! Homeland will be back in November.
While we are talking about American shows, even the channel which has commissioned the programme in question does not normally confirm a date for the next series while the current one is currently airing.
But even if they do, comparing our channels who have to purchase rights to these programmes along with any strings which may be attached, to the home channel who essentially owns the programme, and then dismissing all of the former, along with the entire country as “not giving a crap” is hugely unfair.
Some people need to remember that a) it’s just TV, b) this website and the Internet in general are great resources for finding such information as and when it is available, and not that long ago, we had no such things, c) we used to have four channels and had no way of knowing how our broadcast dates compared to America and we were lucky to get any of their programmes at all and d) American programmes are foreign and such minor frustrations will always be the case with foreign tv imports, just exactly as it is for Americans waiting for foreign imports such as British programmes, many of which they will just not get at all.
Do you know if Sky1 are going to pick up The Glee Project 2? They aired the first season last year and I know America are well into it I just didn’t know whether the second series will air in the UK or not. Thanks
Hi Darcy,
Glee is back in Sept, and I believe they are running the Glee Project along side it.
Cheers,
Dave
when will blue bloods season 3 air in the uk please?
Well, Doctor Who is NOT premiering on Saturday 18th, as the Indiana Jones 4 is airing across the night with Secret Fortune and Casualty. August 25th perhaps?
Hi Tommy, yeh, 25th is possible. The 1st is also possible, if they double up somewhere along the way… Could be the finale of Merlin is also a Christmas special of sorts, so episode 12 is on the 22nd of Dec, then 13 is somewhere over the Christmas period… I can’t see them pushing it later than that though, and still fitting 5 episodes of Who and 13 of Merlin in before Christmas. Of course this is all supposition and guess work!
Cheers,
Dave
Stop it guys! Christmas ??? I haven’t even finished my Christmas shopping yet…
I know season 4 of Castle literally just finished, but is there any chance of us getting season 5 the same time as the US.
Is there any info or dates to air in UK JJ Abrahams REVOLUTION which airs on NBC 17/09/12
Channel 5 or Sky may buy it. As of yet though, nobody has bought it.
Here’s a link to a timetable of AMERICAN air dates incase anyone’s interested…. Hopefully we’ll get some of them about the same time
http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/08/08/complete-chart-of-fall-2012-premiere-dates
That is great Jen, thank you. It certainly shows that there are some of the red ones (the good half thereof) that still need to be bought and/or announced by British channels. Fingers crossed.

(from TVWise)
Sky living (uk)has annoused that the second half of bones will be returning soon. Do you know when?
That’s quite an odd thing to announce as there is no second half. There are only four more episodes planned for series 7 which will now be broadcast as part of series 8. Series 8 only starts in America in the middle of September so we won’t get it before then. And it also depends where in series 8 these 4 episodes now appear. I believe living does air bones relatively close to the American date, unlike supernatural, so we should get it soon-ish, but also the wonder that is the massive American Christmas holiday break.
Erm… yeh… Andrew is correct, we’ve seen all of season 7.
4 additional episodes were produced as part of season 7, but are actually part of season 8, which doesn’t air in the US till Sept 17th… I’m assuming that Sky Living are, lets be generous and say ‘confused’ rather than ‘incompetent’, and they actually mean that Season 8 will air Sept/Oct.
bbc advertising doctor who as this autumn, so doesn’t that mean we’ll have to wait longer than august 18th?
Not sure, but but I can’t see how they can push it to Sept unless they’re going to double up on Merlin episodes, or run them side by side… We’ll have to wait and see. Cheers, Dave
It looks like autumn out the window
ive missed season 2 couple eps again will fx redo it
I thought somebody might take a punt on Boss, anyone know anything?
Breaking Bad S4 gets DVD release in Oct, will be on Netflix in Sept

Could you please find out when Beauty and the Beast (CW 2012) will air in the UK? Thanks!
Beauty and the Beast and several other 2012 US programmes (Last Resort, Revolution, for example) have yet to be bought by any UK channel.
Thanks, Andrew!
There was an article on TVWise back in June which said that Channel 4/E4, Channel 5, UKTV, ITV2 & Sky were considering buying Beauty & The Beast along with The Carrie Diaries.
5 and Sky have both expressed interest in CW’s Beauty and the Beast but no one is confirmed as having picked it up yet.
I have spoke to Sky 1 on there Facebook Page yesterday and They Have Said This: We have no other announcements to make at this stage.
Do you know when Castle Season 5 is airing on Alibi? Great website, and thank you in advance for ny information.
Hi Emma, Castle usually runs in March on Alibi, so it’s a while off yet.
Cheers,
Dave
I’m sure we’ve already seen series 3 of the good wife and that January will bring the fourth, surely?

Hi. Can you confirm if and when Season 2 of 2 Broke Girls will be airing on E4 please?
Beauty & The Beast?
Cult?
They are both CW shows. Lol.
Could Sky Living pick them up?
Hi could you please tell me if Longmire has been picked up by uk tv ?
Hi!
Anyone know anything about “The Hunted”, which is apparently coming (to the BBC, I think) this Autumn? Saw a trailer for it last week, it lookedgreat! But I can’t find any info
It’s just Hunted without the definite article. Formerly known as Nemesis. It is produced by Kudos who made Spooks, along with a former producer of the X Files. The BBC hasn’t announced a date yet but it will come in the autumn.
That’s the one, thanks Andrew
What’re the chances of it getting listed up there ^^^ with the rest of the good stuff?
See it’s now listed up there ^^^ with the good stuff.
Not sure who’s in charge here, Andrew? Dave? Anyhoo, Thank you, whoever it is!
It’s Dave. This is Dave’s site. I’m just a contributor, same as everybody else.
Completely unrelated, having just seen the final episode of Eureka, I must congratulate it as the epitome (even more so than House) of a perfectly ended show, neatly tying up with the pilot complete circle.
As a new benchmark, there is really no excuse now for programmes being cancelled abruptly with no proper ending. I’m looking at you Flashforward, The Event, Terra Nova and so many more.
Goodbye Jack.
blue bloods season 3 sky atlantic
The Middle and Modern Family are back September 26th in the US, which means they may be back a couple of days later in the UK (Friday) i.e September 30th. If not, Sky will be pushing them into October. :0
Hey can you list all the air dates for autumn dramas that are being advertised on bbc 1 and itv. Thanks
The BBC hasn’t confirmed dates for any of its autumn dramas yet, but some are listed above. Perhaps in the meantime you could set out the titles of the programmes you have in mind.
Hello, wicked website.finally found a site showing uk air dates.was just wondering if anyone knew when the new bones on sky one was airing?

Thanks for any times or dates,would be very much appreciated.

Mount Pleasant Series 2 Does Not Start on Wed 22nd August 2012
is Starts on Wed 15th August at 9pm on Sky Living as this is what there website.
/Uk Trailer Say’s
Hi Stuart,
Not according to Sky’s press listing… According to them, Mount Pleasant Series 2 starts on the 22nd (even went through the daily updates to check…) No great shock if the listing and the trailer have 2 different dates though, this is Sky Living after all, and they’re repeatedly shown they can’t schedule their way out of a paper bag.
Cheers,
Dave
As I told this site MONTHS back, 5* continues ‘Lying Game’ on Monday 10th September at 8pm. Not remember? I also said that New Girl was moving to E4 and none of you believed me.
Source?
The BBC website has loads of teasers up for the new Dr Who, including the trailer and names for the first three episodes (including that the lovely Ben Browder is in one!)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/New-Series-Dinosaurs-and-Mercy

Any news on when Perception and Major Crimes (follow on from The Closer) will be available in the UK.

Wilfred S2 BBC3 Aug 16 @ 10pm
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/08/bbc-three-sets-uk-premiere-date-for-wilfred-season-2/
E4 did an AWFUL job airing the last season of How I Met Your Mother (the season finale aired tonight in AUGUST despite airing in MAY in the US and because of that I was spoiled on the big surprise ending weeks ago! So because this is most likely the last ever season do us all a favor and air it VERY shortly after the US starts so I dont get spoiled again on the huge ending of the entire show
Hi Dan, yep, their scheduling of HIMYM (and Big Bang) has always been somewhat erratic… Part of it is the old problem of having to remove the gaps in the US scheduling (which looking at last season, meant removing about 8 weeks), but they do leave way more of a gap than they need too… Season 8 airs in the US Sept 24th, and usually airs on E4 in Nov, then stops. They then rerun the first half of the season, so it’s May before it’s back to where it stopped. I’d much rather they held it back and started in Jan. Air it as one solid block with the finales arriving at about the same time, but that’s probably unlikely.
Cheers,
Dave
Exactly, Dave. you just summed up exactly how they should air most shows. Unfortunately, very few do the smart thing airing all the way through from january to may. Sure would make life easier!

Hi again Dave I have just looked on the website and “The Glades” is due to air on the 11th September 2012 on alibi no wonder I couln’t see it on the tv listings lol.
Hi Dave
you have said that “The Glades” started on Alibi on the 11th July however I can’t find on Alibi’s tv listing can you please confirm if this is true.
thanks.
He may have just misspelled “Sept” as the Glades starts on 11 Sept and 11 July is in the past.
Ahem…
(Sorry about that. Corrected now!) 
Comedy Central are airing Whitney in the complete wrong order, not just the first episode every episode since
same here though just check it after its been on next week sometimes happens dont know why
Could you tell me when Wilfred Season 2 is on BBC 3
only info atm is after the olympics and S1 DVD is out on the 20th Aug so likely around then
Is there any news on Season 6 of Gossip Girl? ITV2 has definetly got TVD new season, so I would be suprised if they didnt get GG again.
Gossip Girl’s final season starts October 8th in the US and is only 10 episodes so because ITV2 are one of the few channels who are really good at showing Gossip Girl very shortly after the US starts we should get it very shortly after that date with no breaks until the end.
based on, has anyone confirmed they have the right?. Heard over at DS that ITV2 had dropped it
havent seen any news about dropping it, dont see why they would considering its one of their few major US drama hits and its going in to its very short order 10 episode final season
Thanks for that Dan.
is there any uk air dates for csi new york season 9 and revolution
Does anyone know when the new season of bones will be starting roughly? and I still can’t believe they killed Ringer (usually it takes till season 2 before you can see if its a hit or a miss!) lol
Does anyone know what is up with Burn Notice on FX? It’s not series linked for this week – is this due to a break in the US? Can’t lose Michael/Sam/Fi already – especially with Leverage finishing this week
Leverage is on next week as usual, it’s just not being series-linked. Burn Notice is on normal time next week as well
All the FX programmes (Burn Notice, Leverage and Falling Skies) are series-linking just fine both this week and next on Virgin TiVo.
It’s not on my V+ box though so must just be working on Tivo. This happens quite a lot with V+ then it will have a series link the following week.
Thanks, will skip ahead and add it.
Sky Atlantic tweeted out that House Of Lies will be airing in the Autumn instead of Summer, due to ‘Schedule Changes’.
Comment System Update!
Okay, i’ve ended up switching the comments back to the standard system (it seems none of them can deal well with a page with over 4000 responses…)
I have added some social logins however, so you should be able to connect via Facebook, Twitter and Google (if you want to). If you have any trouble, let me know!
I’m wandering which UK channel will pick up Beauty And The Beast.
Does anyone know when Smash Season 2 will be out?
Well SMASH season 1 just finished airing on Sky Atlantic, so I guess it will be back around the same time time next year, unless NBC bring the new season up to late autumn or early 2013.
whats going on with the glee project season 2? if sky plan to air glee S4 close to the US airdate then they are really pushing it to show 2 glee projects a week. glee season 4 airs sept 14th in the states
Does anyone know when Burn Notice Season 4 starts on 5* ?
Any chance Louie will ever reach these shores ? I love Louis C.K
Great Falcon starts in September the only problem is I haven’t got Sky Atlantic to watch it on but does not matter it will probably come out on DVD.
Well there’s plenty time to get Sky before it starts.
Any news on Perception and Major Crimes (follow on from The Closer) on when they will be available in the UK.
Bit confused on the comments section as it goes from 10 hours ago to eleven months ago.. Is that due to the new system you’re using? Must say not a fan taking forever to write this :/
Hi Talua, yes, it’s due to the new system. It’s supposed to have copied the comments across by now, but there appear to be some issues… Going to try it again, but if it doesn’t work, i’m gonna switch it back…
With the office and 30 rock, isn’t it part 2 of the season that aired earlier this year?
30 Rock is part 2. Did the office stop halfway through as well?
Yeah it did, I think it ended on the episode ‘Classy Christmas’
E4 has picked up ‘The New Normal’, to air early 2013…
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a395550/glee-creator-ryan-murphys-the-new-normal-to-air-on-e4.html
So excited about this show glad to see it got early pick up from E4!
When airs Castle season 5 and are the dates in ireland exactly the same?
Just FYI, i’m trying to switch over to Disqus for the comments, which hopefully should make things better. The old comments will show up, but it’s taking an age to import them, so bear with me!
Let me know if you have any issues with the new system too!
In terms of feedback I must say I dislike it. I cannot comment on it vis a vis a.computer platform, but on the smartphone it is far harder to use. Specifically it does not remember my name and email as the old system did, and the text itself does not appear properly, being rendered in a strange fuzzy out of focus manner.
Humm… Thanks Andrew. Seems to be okay on my Android phone running Chrome. Not got an iPhone to hand to check it. You should also be able to login with Google, Twitter or Facebook, and it remembers those okay… You can also register with a Disqus account I think. I’ll look into if I can get it to work registering directly on the site too though.
It’s working fine form me on my iPhone ????

E4 has nabbed NBC comedy the new normal
http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2012/07/e4-acquires-uk-rights-to-the-new-normal/
Hi Dave,
E4 have confirmed they’ve got NBC comedy The New Normal and there are articles online saying it will air in Autumn/Winter time. Don’t know if this is true, but could you add the show to your list.
How come under The Walkimg Dead it says FX are pushing to show it closer to its US showing. They were showing it like a week after the US. How much closer do they want it?
Hi Chris, well spotted. I only add those deliberate mistakes in to make sure people are reading them… *ahem* honest.

Person of Interest will debut on Tuesday 14th August at 9pm according to this:
http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1701399
But… the show will be taking over from CSI’s slot which isn’t due to end until that same day, so it could well be a 21 August premiere as well.
…unless CSI finishes with a double-bill
