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

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

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

Idris Elba’s unhinged and unconventional detective began filming a third series in October.
Season 2 aired in the US from April and here from July 2012. The US date for season 3 is not confirmed yet, but if it is April again, it is reasonable to expect to see Mr Irons and co back in July .
This penultimate season 6 has a final 12 episode season 7, by which time Michael Westen and friends will have been “stuck” in Miami for 7 years… To be fair it is probably time he managed to leave! 
Summer Season (June 2013 - Sept 2013)

Usually returns in Spring, but seems to be getting later and later in the year. Series 7 is recorded, but not showing up on the broadcast listings yet.
New stand up improvised comedy show where the cream of the comedy circuit are presented with the ultimate challenge: come up with a brand new routine on the spot based on topics presented to them right there and then.
July 2013
Season 3 started airing Oct 2012 in the US, but Sky held season 2 till July, so I think there’s a fair chance they’ll do the same with season 3.
Season 3 aired in Feb in the US, and is only 13 eps… and that could very well be your lot as its ratings in the US are not good, currently very much ’50/50′.
British comedy drama from Sky, showing the lives of Jan and Terry Starling from Derbyshire, and their three children. Season 1 aired in May 2012
Airs in America on Feb 5th 2013, but Sky are saying July, so i’m guessing the deal with NBC only allows them to air it after the US run ends…
In 2013 vampires are out and Zombies are in. This interesting French series, an eight episode adaptation of the 2004 film, is coming to channel 4 in the summer
American remake of the British series about a group of women and their various affairs.
We return to the Griffins in the summer.
BBC and Starz co-production set during the War of the Roses.

Back to combat aliens in July
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.

Autumn 2013

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

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…

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.

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

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

If your asking about an air date show, please make sure it isn’t in the list already. Easiest way to do this is to use your browser’s ‘Find’ function (‘Ctrl & F’ on a PC, ‘cmd and F’ on a Mac).
Also, if you’re asking for a returning air date, it really helps me out if you know which channel it’s airing on currently to post that in the comment.
I know a lot of the TV shows, but the more info you can leave me, the easier it is for me to check.
Memphis Beat with Jason Lee in the UK ever?
Hi,
Do you know if the US version of The Voice will be aired in the UK?
Do you know when Pan Am will be back on?
One Tree Hill starts in the US in a few days, any chance it might get shown here close to the US date considering in past years Glee would be shown mondays on E4 starting January and then One Tree Hill would take over Glees slot in June but since Glee has moved to Sky 1 so One Tree Hill can take that spot hopefully very soon.
It seems unlikely.
Though Channel 4 didn’t really confirm this when I spoke to them.
I believe since “One Tree Hill” started in 2003—they have an old contract where they have to wait until it’s finished in the U.S. to air it. I think things can only be broadcast a day after their American airing now because of illegal viewing online.
I hope they can show it earlier, though.
is series 7 of medium being shown again
Hi,
Any ideas on fringe season 4 so far, being rerun in the uk again, before the start of the rest of the season? Thanks
Season 4 continues in the US in a few days but Sky arent that great of keeping us caught up with Fringe so based on the last few years we could be waiting til around march or april time to get the rest of the season but hopefully sooner this year.
Thanks for that
Please help me. Does anyone have any information on Season 3 of ADVENTURE TIME and when it might be playing in the UK.

Hiya

Thanks
Any ideas of when we will get the BAG OF BONES (Stephen King) mini-series? Thank you.
Hi
Can you confirm when season 5 gossip girl will start and also the biggie- JERSEY SHORE! MTV says 10th Jan but not on my sky listing.
Thanks
hi Louise,
Gossip Girl i’d expect back in Feb on ITV2.
Jersey Shore… Jan 10th listing is for season 4, episode 4, but I’m assuming your after season 5?
They seem to run Jersey Shore a month behind the US (which started S5 on Jan 5th), so i’d guess MTV will run it in Feb… That’s purely a guess though!
Cheers,
Dave
tim allens last man standing anyone know any uk air dates for that?
Sorry, no UK broadcaster yet. A lot of people asking about that show though, so i’ve added it to the list.
The Vampire Diaries- ITV2 facebook page stated that it would definetly be back in February but date is to be determined
Thanks Gemma, i’ve updated the listing.
Has a Town Called Eurika been cancelled? they left it a bit up in the air!!
Hi Sarah, Eureka has been canned, but i think we still have a season 4 (part 2) and season 5 to go in the UK yet.
Cheers,
Dave
Does anyone know if/when Castle season 2 is going to be shown on 5?
When will terra nova season 2 be airing on sky 1?
Its not even been decided if there be a season 2 of Terra Nova. The expected decision on that should be April. Rumours are that due to Terra Nova’s huge production that the makers would prefer a decision in February.
If Season 2 does go ahead. Its likely to be September in the states and aired a few days later here.
Nothing confirmed yet though
I belive I read that there will be one
Before Christmas, people seemed pretty sure Terra Nova would get renewed… now it seems to be more 50/50. Still no official word yet though.
Dave and fellow Geekers. Apologies if I’ve missed this but…..has anyone picked up anything from the net etc about whether Sky will eventually allow Sky Atlantic onto the Virgin TiVo platform ?
Cheers, Mark
It’s not about Sky letting them, and it wouldn’t just be for Tivo, it’s Virgin in general that it’s not on.
Sky said in the beginning Virgin wanted the channel “on the cheap” and that was the last piece of info about it. Maybe they’ll keep it exclusive now.
Sky said Virgin wanted it on the cheap. Virgin said Sky were demanding an unreasonably large sum for it. Two versions of the same negotiations. It depends which one you believe. Personally I find the Virgin aspect more likely as it fits with Sky’s alleged monopolistic tendencies.
Not really–Virgin charges less for its Cable platform so in turn, have a smaller budget for channel acquisitions.
It’s not even just Sky–Virgin has problems with, I always read about Channels not striking deals with them, and if they do, it’s ages before they come to Virgin.
any air dates on tim allens new sitcom last man standing???
any know go on with ghost hunters ghost hunters intl season 2 pt 2 as sky living do show all of season 2 ghost hunters acemdy season 2 and ghost anvutures. Waterloo a town call eukura come back chrimanl minds and are we spin of chrimanl minds and new scfi new come to replace star gate thanks

FYI – Hustle’s been pushed back to the 13th of January, by the looks of Digiguide.
Any ideas on Burn Notice S5? I know the interim TV Movie was aired on Xmas Day so wondered whether FX would try and catch up a bit by showing it earlier in the year?
hay any news on event comeing back
the event got cannel in us so there no second season
can you tell me if any shows on Sky Atlantic will be shown on any other channels please.
Hi Grant,
I’d suspect this is unlikely for the HBO shows (for the next few years anyway!) The Sky/HBO deal runs till 2015, and gives exclusive UK rights to HBO’s archive, all new HBO-commissioned programmes and a right of first negotiation on all future HBO UK co-productions. I think it’s a similar deal with Mad Men and other show’s they’ve bought.
Cheers,
Dave
Leverage – Season 3 is now due to start on 7 Feb – two weeks earlier than orginally planned.
Does anyone know if there is going to be a Season 2 of Terra Nova?
Lucy. It’s covered below. We won’t know for a couple of months yet.
Ah, many thanks Andrew.
Hi – does anyone know if there is or was, more than one Season of “V” and if so, are there any plans to air it in the UK? Thanks.
Season 2 aired mid 2011, series has subsequently been canned last I heard.
Many thanks Viv.
Hi great site btw
Couple of questions for u
Any idea if true blood will be rerun from the top wud really like to see from beginning and refuse to watch it from season 4 without seein previous seasons.
Also any ideas if a rerun of dowton abbey is doin the rounds I know they r poles apart from each other haha.
Thanks
Hi,
I’ve just gone to set my Sky + box for the Hustle on Friday 6th Jan and it’s not there!! I have a vague recollection that I’d seen it there before though! Any idea when it is on instead or where it’s gone. I was really looking forward to it….
Help!
Due to the Stephen Lawrence “Panorama” special that scheduled last-minute by the BBC, the 3-part drama “Public Enemies” which was scheduled to air Tuesday-Thursday got pushed back to Wednesday-Friday, causing “Hustle” to be pushed back a week. The new series will premiere next Friday (13th) at 9pm on BBC One.
how about tim allens new sitcom last man standing? any uk air dates yet?
Any channels planning a repeat of the Battlestar Galactica series?
Best place to keep an eye out for BSG repeats would be Sky Atlantic i’d say
Any idea when Bones will be back?
Grimm to start at 9pm on Monday 13 Feb on Watch
When will one tree hill season 9 b bk on e4
Apparently season 9 is coming sometime this summer, dont know the dates, hope that helps
Hey
When is the 2nd part of Grey’s Anatomy be coming on??
Hi there,
Was just wondering whether Criminal Minds season 7 part 2 will be starting again soon as it just suddenly stopped and Sky Living said it was on a break but have not seen it advertised as coming back.
Thanks
Any news on when The Big C Season 2 will air on more4? It finished in the US in September, I hope it’s not a summer one, that’s probably when Season 3 will be on in the US
The Big C returns very soon – Thursday, Jan 19 @ 10pm
Brilliant, thank you
Do you know when The Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl returns on ITV2 in January 2012?
thanks for the heads up on Seinfeld, was just complaining the other day that it’s never on!
Do you know when gossip girl is returning?
Does anyone know when Homeland will be starting on Ch4? I’ve seen clips for show in the trails Ch4 are doing for upcoming shows/films for the New Year but i don’t see any times/dates.
Does anyone know?
I saw on Twitter yesterday it’s the 18th February.
Do you know when pan am will be returning to our screens ? Only the first 8 episodes have been screened over here.
Episode 9 was shown in the states on 4th December and episode 10 is due to be shown on 8th January. No word that i’ve seen from BBC on when its to continue. As with most US shows, this was on a mid-season break. It may start back sooner and BBC go to 1 episode per week. If BBC want to go to the 2 episodes a week again. Then it may be later in the year before they resume it.
Any ideas on when Criminal minds (season 7) part two will be returning on sky living…
Is it wishful thinking that Sky Atlantic may do with Breaking Bad the same thing they have done with FNL, wait till its finished and then show it all.
Not totally, but i suspect if they go for Breaking Bad it won’t be until it’s finished airing in the US, as it’s due to end soon.
Saw an advert the other day on 5USA that featured Justified, Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad, no dates or anything but promising that Breaking Bad was on it!
Thanks Ollie, but i wouldn’t get your hopes up. I seem to remember FXUK using a similar trick, but the official word is still currently ‘Unfortunately, we have no current plans to acquire the broadcast rights to Breaking Bad season 3 or 4.’
Cheers,
Dave
Oh right, that’s not good! Going to have to buy series 3 on DVD then!
Any idea if Sky will be playing series 2 of Romanzo Criminale?
Any news on Justified series 3?
Thanks
Justified S3 – Five haven’t got the rights (yet), but they are saying that could change.
No idea on Romanzo Criminale.
Cheers,
Dave
totally, best thing on TV, is it possible for anyome to contact sky arts to see if they’re showing season 2?
Hi, this site is great btw! Sorry if its already been asked but do you know about Season 3 Make It Or Break It, it’s usually on E4, and when it will air in the UK? Thanks
Anyone know when gossip girls back on?
Sky Atlantic have just confirmed on their website and Twitter page that they’ll be airing all 5 seasons of Friday Night Lights. They’ve said February 2012 but an exact air date is yet to be announced.
Sky are sayin only have seasons 1/2 of FNL showing to begin with, both of these have been on itv4 (season 2 was on in the middle of the night thou in 2010) and these have both been on virgin on demand last year
does anyone know when time team is back
Hi dave,
Can you please contact sky living and ask them for the definite date for supernatural because I can wait any longer they got to have a February release for us UK fans because it’s the best and most watched television series ever!!!
Cheers,
Dan
Any idea when gossip girl season 5 will continue on ITV2? Also the vampire diaries season 3?
was wondering when bones will be back on sky living?
Bones wont be back for a while yet as its not back in the US till April
Hi Natalie,
That’s actually incorrect. Bones is back in the US on the 12th of January. No sign of it on Sky Living yet though. I suspect it’ll come back in Feb, along with everything else.
Cheers,
Dave
Hi Dave, that Bones episode on 12th January is only a 1 off episode (which was supposed to have been shown before christmas) and then they are on a break till April. There was only ever going to be 6 episodes shown early & then then took a filming break for Emily Dechanel’s pregnancy.
So sorry Natalie, you’re quite right. Bones is really all over the place this season. I’ve updated the listing.
Cheers,
Dave
Just out of curiosity, I thought Sky Living stopped HOT IN CLEVELAND at episode 10 when COUGAR TOWN finished its season?
For the last couple of weeks, Sky Living has repeated HIC in the early hours every day from the pilot. They aired up to 208 and then aired 213.
Was that a mistake airing 213, or did I miss it first time round?
does anyone know when criminal minds is returning?
Do you know if the chase is coming back for a second season?
Chase was cancelled after 1 season, unfortunately
Hi, happy new year
Is there going to another series of terra nova?
Thanks
According to Jon Cassar, we won’t know until April.
By the way Dave – green for part 2 returns – inspired thinking and very helpful.
Hi ya,
It’s normally on Sky Living, wednseday’s at 9pm. Thanks 
Can you please tell me when Bones Season 7 is coming back on. They took it off at episode 5 ‘The Twist in the Twister’ but didn’t say when episode 6 was going to be shown
Thanks for a great site
still no word on last man standing???
Hey, just wondering if you have any news on series 2 of Romanzo Criminale being shown?
The site is excellent, really handy!
Thanks
i have just finished watching the first season of starhyke and in the behind the scenes it mentioned a season 2 any ideas when or if this will be shown ??
Hi Terry,
Just had an email from the Starhyke guys. They probably won’t know about season 2 till after April when all the international sales have played out. Starhyke is an independently made production, so there’s no network looking over their shoulders. It’s really a case of looking to see if the numbers are high enough for them as a company to justify making a 2nd series (which they are very keen to do!)
Cheers,
Dave
Judging by the description above only…
Is “The Lying Game” just a teen version of “Ringer”?
Hi,
With it being January now tomorrow and a month until February the usual spot for supernatural so please can anyone give me good news on supernatural season 7 airing then or can someone ask sky living please.
Thanks,
Dan
any word on tim allens new sitcom last man standing?
also any word on the canadian primeval spin off?
On Primeval – New World
- The series will be set in Vancouver, British Columbia, with 13 episodes commissioned. It will retain elements from the British series while introducing a new cast of Canadian characters.Corrie Coe (Bell Media) described it as “a parallel yet independent series”. In their press release, Bell Media said the “story and character development will move between the two series, uniting different plotlines.” Production is slated to begin in Vancouver in late 2011.
The series will be broadcast on Space in Canada and on ITV in the United Kingdom
Hi, is it true a spin-off series of Warehouse 13, but with HG Wells the main character ?
Nicola
Rumour is that there is a Warehouse 13 spin off with HG Wells which is more Cyberpunk. Last rumour i saw was that it was in production with Jaime Harper starring as HG Wells.
That rumour was about 2 months old
Hi Spiggle,
Nearly! It’s Jaime Murray as H. G. Wells, possibly with Torchwood’s Gareth David-Lloyd as the sidekick. It’s still at the pitch stage at the moment. It’s not actually greenlit yet, but it’s ‘extremely likely’ it’ll happen. What we know so far is…
It’ll be set in the 1890′s.
It’s have a cyber-punk feel to it.
It’ll will include artifacts, but it’s more of a Sherlock Holmes-esque detective story.
Cheers,
Dave
Do you know when law and order svu season 13 will return (showing sunday nights on universal channel before the christmas break). Many thanks
Hi Oya,
Best guess at the moment is March, as they are re-running season 13 part 1 of SVU from Jan…
Cheers,
Dave
Can you please advise when greys anatomy series 8 is back on in 2012 on sky living
Hi Maggie,
No sign of Greys S8 back on Sky Living yet. It’s back in the US on 5th of Jan, so it may turn up late Jan, but most returning shows seem to be coming back in Feb.
Cheers,
Dave
Just wanted to say I love this site – thank you. Now for the questions!
Do you know when the rest of season 4 of The Mentalust will be back in Channel 5? After last night’s episode they said the rest of the series won’t be on until ‘later in 2012′ – any idea when?
Also do you know if any uk channel has picked up Season 5 of Chuck? I see above that Sky have said no, but no more news?
Thanks
Hi Lisali,
Best guess at the moment for The Mentalist S4′s return is March, based on the fact they are rerunning S4 on 5* at the moment, and it’s be March before it’s up to ep 8 when it stopped. That’s pure guesswork on my part though.
Still no news on Chuck…
Cheers,
Dave
Eternal Law starts on Thursday 9pm on ITV.
It’s a new 6 part drama series about 2 angels who are sent down to Earth in the guise of lawyers.
heard anything about justified season 3 by any chance.
thankyou.
Hi Ryan,
5 haven’t bought Justified season 3 yet, although they are saying that may change. So currently no news unfortunately.
Cheers,
Dave
New Girl is available on 40D, WHAT?! It hasn’t even aired here yet
I would also like to know about Justified season 3. FX website says it airs Jan 17th but no mention of it on either FX UK or 5
Can you tell me if Justified Season 3 is going to be shown by 5 USA?
any ideas of when masterchef new zealand/ usa will be shown on Watch? Also, Really channel was showing repeats of greys anatomy which seems to have stopped at the end of series 2.Any idea when repeats of series 3 start?
I believe Really Channel only has the rights to the first two seasons of Grey’s.
The rest remain with Sky.
Can you tell me when I could find a repeat of American horror story season one in the uk also what channel? Also when will shameless us season two be aired in the uk?? Thanks
I think that American Horror Story catchup is available to download via Sky Anytime+ (if you’ve got it)
On Sky’s Nevermiss service it has Chuck as ‘Coming 2012′ for Season 5 aswell as Friday Night Lights which ties in with what you said about sky atlantic.
Other shows are listed as UK Broadcast Status Unconfirmed so hopefully Chuck has a home.
When does season 2 of pretty little liars continue on mtv?
Back next week as normal, Wed @ 9 MTV
Hi, I just wanted to say that I saw the advert for Lost Girl series 2 on SyFi and it says that it starts on 12th January rather the the 19th. Just thought I would let you know
Bethany
Thanks Bethany, that’s updated
Happy Christmas all, and many thanks for keeping me updated on my favourite shows in 2011.
The one I’m most looking forward to in 2012 is the new Aaron Sorkin drama for HBO. It was tentatively titled More As This Story Develops but that was always likely to be a bit clunky (if not a tongue-twister like Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip).
So just to let you know they have decided to call it The Newsroom – hopefully the only bland thing when it comes to this series. It’s supposed to start next summer so hopefully Sky Atlantic will show it then.
Thanks Gripper, I’m also really looking forward to this as i’m also a massive Sorkin fan. Listing has been updated.
also did i miss the first season of awkward?
You did but all 12 episodes of season 1 will be shown again on MTV from January 1st to 3rd. Episodes 1-6 from 9pm to midnight on New Year’s Day and episodes 7-12 from midnight the following evening.
any word on the lying game?
“The Lying Game” will air on 5* in the Spring.
hi do you know if burn notice season is goin to be on fx soon ?
anyone know when boardwalk empire coming back on? and is it a series break?
sorry andy, boardwalk empire season 2 is now finished.
it has, however, been renewed for a 3rd season likely to be shown from Sept 2012.
Hi – new episodes of both Bones and Criminal Minds appeared to have stopped on Sky Living and they are now showing repeats of old episodes – do you have any idea when they will be continuing the new seasons? Thanks
Does any one know when House and Law & Order SVU will be back in the new year? I hate it when they break for the holidays.
Just seen it advertised, Law and Order Criminal Intent season 10 (final season) Universal 15 Jan. and Harrys Law season 2 Universal 16 Jan
Thanks Bill, they’re both now added.
does anyone know when Awkward season 2 is coming to our screens thanks
Hi Ros, Awkward Season 2 doesn’t air in the US till summer 2012, so it’ll be a while before you see it.
Cheers,
Dave
Hi love this site keeps me informed about my favourite shows was wondering if you know if the show Suburtory will be shown on uk tv thanks.
Hi Debbie,
No sign of Suburtory yet, but i’ll keep my eye out for it.
Cheers,
Dave
Hi, I just wanna know whether Gossip Girl will be repeated from the beginning of the season 5, I recorded episode 1 and 2, and forgot to series link them and have now missed all episodes since now apart from 1 and 2, thanks.
Morning all, thought I’d jog back to one of the best sites on the net and ask if I imagined Harry’s Law season 2 starting mid Jan on Universal ? I watched the last episode last week and the trailer at the end seemed to be showing Harry in handcuffs….sure that’s not a first for Cathy Bates !
Please can you tell me when CSI New York season 8 starts?
Digiguide has Sons of Anarchy Season 4 airing on January 18th at 10pm on 5USA
I would like to know if they are thinking of carrying on person unknown? I know they only planned to do 13 episodes but they left it wide open and I believed it was a great hit. It was a great hit in my house and I would love to see more. Just wondered if they were considering it or if they are definitely sticking to the 13 episodes.
Hey Naomi,
I don’t know if you know or not, but it aired the series finale over a year ago and it did really bad for NBC.
It was intended as a mini-series for the summer and nothing more.
The producers said they’d wrap everything up but I guess they didn’t.
Could you please confirm to me that game of thrones season two starts in April/ spring. My sister told me that she got told that it had already started. I don’t really believe her as I keep an eye on sky programmes and I haven’t seen it and so I believe that it might be a repeat of season one as I have seen that they are reshowing it. I would mayst like a confirmation. Games of thrones it a big thing in my house. Thank you.
Game of Thrones Season 2 has not aired yet. It doesn’t air in the US till April, and Sky Atlantic will air it right behind the US. It is a repeat of Season 1 that is currently airing.
Cheers,
Dave
Hi,
I’m not sure if I already missed it but any idea when the Xmas eureka is airing on syfy?
Hi Arran… Hate to tell you this but it’s on right now on SyFy +1.
but that was last xmas’s eureka wasnt it?
then they are showing from season 4 episode 16 this week. friday’s is episode 19.
does this mean ep 20 will be saturday and then this xmas’s show (ep 21) will be on new years day?
Unfortunately, SyFy have confirmed that they do not have the rights to the Christmas episode as it is part of the next season package. Hopefully we will get it next year.
FX Facebook says that True Blood will be back on Sunday 5th February 2012 at 10pm
Sky have confirmed the approximate return dates of some of their shows:
Fringe – February 2012
Modern Family – February 2012
The Middle – February 2012
Blue Bloods – February 2012
Glee – Spring 2012
Cheers Rob, they’re updated.
Just testing the comments are working now!
Also when does Ice Road Truckers start again?
On Channel 5? Hopefully in early to mid-January.
When does Bear Grylls born survivor air again in the U.K
Really pathetic Chuck still hasnt aired the FINAL season!!! oh well guess i’ll do a bit of piracy which is always nice….not that I ever had any choice. SMFH
BEDLAM has been renewed by Sky Living!
Thanks Jamie, I’ve updated that.
As long as it doesn’t take Supernaturals place like it did this year, I don’t mind.
With a completely new cast according to a report in The Sun.
Not completely new.
Charlotte Salt and Theo James will continue their roles as series leads. Hugo Speer will also be back.
I don’t know about Will Young, but it seems the others have been axed.
http://www.televisual.com/news-detail/Sky-commissions-a-second-series-of-drama-Bedlam-from-Red_nid-1004.html — Will Young WON’T be back.
Three cast members returning isn’t bad. I guess Young was too expensive for a low-rated drama.
Bored to Death and How to Make it in America have both been cancelled unfortunately, hopefully we’ll get the final series of both sooner rather than later on Atlantic.
Thanks Dave, i spotted those. They’re apparently renewing Enlightened… though for the life of me, I can’t think why.
Agreed, it seems awful.
But out of all four, ENLIGHTENED had the awards nod.
They were all low-rated. I will miss “How To Make It America.”
I’m not sure i’d go as far as awful, as I’ve only seen 1 episode. It’s just a little odd… Might give it another shot.
I haven’t seen it, I was only judging on the trailer.
When will southland series 4 be back on more ?

Harry’s Law season 2 starts on Universal on 16 Jan.
“Unforgettable” is listed twice and it’s premiering in January.
Does anybody know when Sony TV will be showing the third and final season of “Hawthorne”? (Can’t view their website on mobile).
Unforgettable, Season 1
Is advertised for
Sky Living
Tuesday 10th January at 9 p.m.
According to Digiguide, Body of Proof debuts on Channel 5 on Tuesday 10 January at 9pm…
One could take from this that season 12 of CSI may premiere in a different timeslot or at a much later date than usual, such as March. Also, it appears that season 8 of CSI: NY will premiere a few weeks later this year due to CBB…
HI Tommy,
Your a week out with Body of Proof.
It’s January 5th, 2012, 9:00pm, episode S2 E1 – Love Thy Neighbour on Alibi.
Cheers,
Dave
You’re both right. Tommy was referring to the Channel 5 repeat of the first series.
Any idea when the A Town Called Eureka Christmas special will air? Or have I missed? Thanks!
For reasons best known to Syfy, they don’t seem to be showing the Eureka Christmas special (4.21) – instead showing a repeat of last year’s specia (4.10)l instead.
Especially odd as they are showing a three night run from the 19th consisting of that and this year’s Haven and Warehouse 13 Christmas eps.
That sucks, it was seeing the listing for the Warehouse 13 special that made me think I missed it. Syfy is pretty rubbish.
hi

Hey any idea on southland season 4 ?

Hi, is there any news on the brilliant US sitcom Parks and Recreation being bought by one of the channels over here? I know it has been shown in Ireland, where they are finishing the first series on Friday 23rd. I am very surprised that no one has bought it yet, especially as they are on series four in America. Also, any news on Suburgatory being picked up yet? Thanks.

Do you know if they are making a Haven series 3 and when to expect it.
Thanks
Hi Sasha, Yes Haven has been renewed for season 3, but it’ll probably be Oct 2012 before it airs here (July-ish in the US).
Cheers,

White Collar Season 2 DVD is now scheduled for UK release on July 30, 2012, according to Amazon. Perhaps this indicates it will have finished its broadcast run by then?
“Revenge” and “Good Christian Belles” both appear on Sky Never Miss.
So glad they’ve been picked up. I wander by who?
Sometimes Sky just put on popular US programmes on the chance some broadcaster in the UK picks it up, but by no means does it mean it is a definitive pick up unfortunately. They did it last year as well with plenty of the US shows and they are still there saying status unknown. However I for one, would be over the moon if they have been picked up for the UK!
Very true… As i’ve said before, it really should be called ‘Sky Blind Optimism’. It’s was designed for sending out the reminders a week before a show airs, and it works well as a ‘Never Miss’ service. But a show being on there in no way means it’s been picked up, so it’s useless for advanced air dates.
Cheers
Dave
Any news on if Suburgatory has been picked up over here yet?
Does anyone know if there will be season 2 of persons unknown
Hi Jamie,
Nope, Persons Unknown was canned after 1 season unfortunately…
Cheers,
Dave
Hey,
Does anyone know if ‘The Fades’ got a second series?
Thanks!
Georgia
Hi Georgia,
No news on The Fades, series 2 yet, but it performed well, and hit it’s target demographic squarely between the eyes, so it should have a fair chance. It’ll just depend on BBC budgets though. With all the restructuring and cuts going on their, it’s hard to predict what will get renewal on the Beeb.
Cheers,
Dave
Well fingers crossed then!
Thanks
is there any news about fringe series 5?
Hi John,
Fringe Season 4 (part 2) is back early in 2012 (it’s on mid-season hiatus (those US networks and their wacky scheduling!) Fringe is currently looking shaky for getting a season 5 renewal, but then it always looks shaky for getting a renewal, so that’s nothing new. Fringe suffers a bit from ‘Angel’ syndrome, in that it’s a pretty complex show at this point, so it’s hard for it to pull in new viewers.
However, it’s popular amongst it’s key 18–49 demographic. So it really boils down to whether Fox want to risk replacing it with a totally untested show, and potentially alienating the dedicated viewership it has with Fringe for that time slot… It’s likely to be Spring 2012 before we know if it’s going to get a 5th season.
Cheers,
Dave
Body of Proof is coming to C5 in Jan 2012.
NCIS S8 was starting in December but FAQ page has changed to too early to say when it be on:
http://about.channel5.com/faqs/programmes-k-to-o
hi
do you know when terrestrial Channel 5 will be showing season 8 of NCIS and whether or not SyFy (UK) is picking up the final (?) season of Eureka and also if Channel 5 will be continuing Greys Anatomy. It has shoved season 5 n to a graveyard slot so I’m not that hopeful….
thank you for your time and help
Anyone know when The Border returns to FX?
When is the next episode of ringer season 1 ep 11 on sky living
Hi Jan,
Ringer is back in the US 31st of Jan, so it should be Feb 2012 for the rest of the season. Not officially confirmed yet though.
Cheers,
Dave
Sky Living have just announced that they’ve got the rights to Unforgettable. To air ‘early in 2012′
Such an odd move, especially as it hasnt been rated that well in the States, why not just buy revenge instead or Once upon a Time.
To be honest, i’ve given up trying to guess exactly what motivates a channel to buy a show, as it seems fairly random and not based on ratings.
I’m beginning to suspect it maybe someone sat in a room with a speadsheet, and some shows on DVD going ‘well I quite liked it, and I can fit it in this quarters budget, so i’ll buy it’.
Sky Living likes to full their non-primetime schedule with procedural shows like “CSI” and “Bones” or reality series like “America’s Next Top Model”.
It’s probably more valuable to pick up “Unforgettable” as it will repeat well. “Once” and “Revenge” are falling now and even if they make it to a second season, I don’t see Sky Living being able to use those to fill rerun hours like some of their other shows.
Any idea what is happening with NCIS in the UK on channel 5 season 7 was ages ago and there are no signs of season 8 let alone season 9. We seem to be falling way behind.
i was just wondering if anyone had heard about a seconds series to do with the fades. i got really hooked and they left it wide open for another series so i was just wondering if there has been any knows.
i can believe Hawaii 5-O is back in january my whole family love it including my 8 years old brother. i am all ready wintering about a third series but thats me thinking way ahead of myself.
Any news on when Community (Season 2) will be airing in the UK?
anyone heard anything about this new abc show called missing just saw a trailer for it i think it looks good
I know I keep saying this but how can REVENGE not be picked up yet!
I’m wondering why five star don’t just buy Chuck and air it first
they can’t air it first
But why
Hi just got an email saying the release of White Collar season 2 has been delayed – release date is now estimated to be August 2012 – maybe they still think a channel will decide to show it – fingers crossed!
Heyyyyyyyyyyy, just wondered if theres any reason you may syspect why the new ‘raising hope’ series hasnt been shown or given a start date yet? Good to see youre keeping an eye out though
Hello,
Anyone know if Channel 5 USA still have the rights to the much underated show (IMO) “Justified” and if they will be showing it as near to it’s run in January 9in the US) as possible like earlier this year?
Thanks.
5* have the rights to the ABC Family drama The Lying Game and they will air it in the spring, according to The Hollywood Reporter
cool been want to see that
Digiguide is showing Law & Order: UK on ITV at 9.00 Tuesday 3rd Jan. It doesn’t confirm that they are new episodes yet but a Google showed that a new series is imminent.
It also shows Hustle on BBC1 at 9.00 on Friday 6th Jan. BBC Press Centre website confirms this is a new series
Law & Order UK has today changed to Friday 6th Jan on Digiguide
It’s just been announced on sky1 ‘s Facebook that Hawaii 50 starts at 9pm 1st jan and NCis la starts at 10pm on the 1st jan
Hi, sincere apologies from IT dork, again ! I may have duplicated this post. Any idea when Rescue Special Ops returns to universal ? I think it’s season 4? Cheers, Mark
Season 3 was the last season
Damn, inthoughtbit was a big Ossie success story ? So that’s Rescue canned AND Sea Patrol after season five airs here…not sure when ? Where am I going to get my weekly fix of rescue girls and my wife..rescue guys ? !
digi has new girl as starting on th 6th of jan at 20.35 on channal 4
I couldnt help but notice but is Community not on the list? Amazingly they still havent started season 2 here and theyre halfway through Season 3 on NBC!!! Any longer and im going to be forced to download it online!
Sherlock’s mentioned in the ‘next issue’ section of the Christmas issue of the Radio Times. Guess it must be back in the first week of the New Year.
I’ve just had a quick Google and it seems, at least according to Digiguide, that it’s New Year’s Day at 8.10pm.
Is there any news when a UK network will pick up Once apon a time & Revenge?
Surprised that knowone is interested in them. How comes networks over here like to pick up shows that get cancelled but the tv series that are still on the air don’t get picked up, its a bit stupid if you ask me.
a BIT stupid????? LOL its the dumbest thing ever and we all pay the price for morons who dont know how to do their job!! they buy charlies angels even though before it even aired it had extremely negative reviews and low ratings and was eventually cancelled after 4 episodes!
Oh and that terrible looking “comedy” Whitney that no one else likes and is getting cancelled after one season? well theyre saving that for SPRING this year!! and THAT my friend is the reason why we dont get potentially good shows like Revenge (which everyone is talking about and getting into!) and Once Upon a Time which is getting great ratings and will probably go more than one season. Good system geniuses keep up the…..whatever it is some morons paying you for XD
I suspect it is rather less stupid to the accountants.
Much as we all dislike it, such situations almost certainly come from a desire to balance the books. Others may be able to confirm, but I would imagine a popular and successful new show such as Once Upon A Time is initially very expensive and may drop in price over time, whereas a show already cancelled, such as Charlie’s Angels is probabky very cheap by comparison.
A view that would be accurate if it weren’t for the fact that E4 bought Charlie’s Angels well before it was cancelled.
Any more news on when we will get Hell on Wheels?
Sky Atlantic also say they will be airing Luck, the new Dustin Hoffman drama in February
Sky Atlantic just tweeted that they have the rights to Smash
I kinda guessed that’s what they would be announcing today, but that and Luck are now updated.
hi does anyone know when bedlam series 2 is on
thanks
Andy
Hi any idea when the 3rd series of the listener will be shown?
Thanks
Kate
Hi Kate,
Season 2 of The Listener are in March this year, so assuming the Canada & US air it around Feb/March again, it’s likely FXUK will air it around March 2012 too. It’s still a ‘best guess’ at the moment as the Canada & US haven’t even announced their air dates for it yet.
Cheers,
Dave
Hi there is no Drop Dead Diva or The Vampire Diaries on your listings.
Hi Bev, i’ve added those 2 shows in. Vampire Diaries should be back around February (no confirmed date from ITV yet) for the rest of the season. Drop Dead Diva has finished season 3, so won’t be till Sept next year.
Cheers,
Dave
Weeds season 6 – 2nd January Sky Atlantic 10.15pm followed by season 2 of Funny or Die.
Thanks Brian, i had Weeds, but i’ve added Funny or Die.
Hey, Dave! Great work on this list! I check back every week. Was wondering if you’ve got any news on Season 3 of Deadliest Warrior and Season 3 of The Life And Times Of Tim. Both were very prominent on Bravo and Channel One before they got shut down and I’m curious to see if anyone picked them up. Especially Tim. That show was ace.
Also, the treatment that Breaking Bad and Chuck are getting here is ludicrous and pathetic. As a huge fan of both these shows (Chuck especially), it makes me feel rather betrayed with the way they’re treated (Chuck especially. It’s the last gorram season! You think Sky Living would at least be bothered to show that!).
Hi Callum,
Can’t see Deadliest Warrior having resurfaced yet, so don’t know if it ever will. The Life And Times Of Tim is a HBO show, so Sky have it by default. It’s airing on Sky Atlantic right now, but they seem to be working their way through season 1 at the moment. Hopefully the newer seasons will follow.
Cheers, Dave
Oh i do hope the FNL news is correct. It will make my year!!!
Soz ment dec 6th and for then shows
Do you know when syfy will air Xmas episodes if haven and warehouse 13 and eureka they air sex 6 the in the us thanks
Hi Jason, just added – Warehouse 13, Series 3, episode 13 – SyFy UK – 19th December 2011 at 9pm (and pretty much repeated every day that week actually!) Not sure on Eureka. Looks like it could be New Year’s Day, but not 100% sure.
Cheers,
Dave
Digiguide has the first showing of W13 3×13 on Monday 19th December.
Thanks Duncan, i’ve amended that. It’s airing 19th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th so if your a W13 fan there’s a fair chance of catching it!
The Christmas episodes of Warehouse 13, Haven and Eureka premiere, respectively, on the 19th, 20th and 21st of December at 9pm.

Cheers
Dave
Any idea of its always sunny in Philly will be broadcast in the uk
Sorry, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of those shows that’s got lost somewhere over the Atlantic (along with Breaking Bad,
Friday Night Lights,(see updated list) and Chuck’s final season)… I believe you can get it on iTunes to season 6, and BT Vision have the first 3 seasons, but no UK broadcaster seems interested in picking it up.Cheers,
Dave
Also saw an advert on FX that said True Blood is back in February
NCIS Season 9 starts on 13th January at 9pm on FX
Thanks Anna, I’ve added that.
Hi
Please can someone tell me when living will air supernatural season 7 I hope it’s February as I miss my favourite show too much to wait for June I don’t care about the break it will have if it starts in febuary because I need my fix of the best show ever created.
Thanks,
Dan
Hi Daniel,
Don’t know on Supernatural yet. It’s annoying as Sky could air it in Feb, and it would run without breaks as it’s far enough ahead by then… but they moved it this year to June, so there is every chance they’ll do that again… Just can’t predict it at the moment.
Cheers,
Dave
When is season 2 part 2 of Walking Dead due to air in the UK Thanks Paul
Hi Paul, should be the 17th of Feb for Walking Dead.
Just caught up on the last episode of Walking Dead today and right at the end FX said that it will be back on 17th Feb.
Walking Dead….why do you have it back on Sky? Isn’t it back on FX?
Sorry, typo! Fixed now.
Beavis and Butthead’s new episodes have been reviewed very well after starting in October 2011 in the US. Anyone have any news when (I assume) it will be shown on one of MTV’s collection of terrible channels?
i love leverage but i looked on fx and it is not on on the 6th of december please help when is it on
Elliott. As stated above and below, Leverage 3 will be back on 20 February.
Thanks Andrew, forgot to delete the original entry which was causing some confusion. It’s updated now.
Hi,
Any idea if “The Shield” last seen on channel 5 will be given a re run. I know the show is a few years iold now, just wondered if you knew if anyone had the rights to it?
Love the site.
Thanls.
Not the reply you were after, but Amazon’s price of less than 50 quid for all seven seasons of The Shield is amazing, and not an offer I’m going to resist for much longer.
Great article in the Guardian Dave. Thanks for all your continued hard work. It’s really appreciated
Louise
Thanks Louise
can’t stand all these mid season breaks, by the time they start again i’ve lost interest. Plz say i’m not the only 1 who hates them
They are indeed dreadful, but as Dave has often said, it is a choice between that or waiting longer in the UK for the start so it can be shown uninterrupted. Hobson’s Choice really.
Hi,
Any idea when Desperate Housewives Season 8 will be shown in the UK…we have already had season 7 which finished sometime around July 2011.
Walking Dead season 2 restarts after Xmas break on 17 Feb
Ghost hunters season 7 and new ghost adventures plz when they bk xx sky living I think
anything on I Hate My Teenage Daughter please thanks
do u know if Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea is coming on in the uk please
Neverland (miniseries) is starting on Sky Movies Premiere on the 9th December 2011
I think the whole situation with BREAKING BAD is awful. It’s been two years since 5USA showed Season 2…and that was at midnight over two weeks. The worst broadcasting I have ever seen!
Instead of not picking it up, what UK channels should do is treat it with respect, but it on at a decent time, and stop punishing people who actually want to watch it! I’ve never seen such a wonderful television programme treated so poorly.
Emma:
NCIS S8 will be on 5 this month according to their FAQ page
I was on line earier going through a few things on wikipedia. I came across a film called the Calender Girl Murders with Sharon Stone & Tom Skerit. I’ve been trying to figure out, is this the same film where the killer has some sort of light gun that makes people catatonic ie freeze on one spot. So they can be more easily killed, stabed, pushed out of windows etc?
primeval is airing right now on watch
Hi,
Great site! I wonder if you know when series 7 of Project Runway (with Heidi Klum) will be shown in the UK? Series 6 was shown on Sky1 so I assume it will eventually be back there, but they finished airing series 9 in the US in October!
Thank you
Any idea when season 3 of Justified starts in the UK? I know it’s back on in the US in January…….
hi
any news on damages season 4 uk tv air date?
