Does anyone know how long we’ll have to wait for season 6 to be shown in the UK?

Come on Season 6! I wonder if 5Star is waiting until the full season has been broadcast the US (if it hasn’t already), so that they can air all the episodes without the usual mid-season break.

I’ve just seen that the show has been moved from E4 to 5Star. Does anyone know why? Or has this been a mistake?

Not a mistake, it’s moving to 5Star and airing alongside ‘Star’ Lee Daniel’s other Empire spin-off(ish) music based show. :)

I know the elections have been happening in the U.K. so that would be why the show hasn’t been airing in the U.K. but does anyone know when the show will resume in the U.K.?

It skipped 3 weeks (for the Baseball World Series I think) in the US, so that’s why it’s off at the moment. It also skips a week for Thanksgiving… Currently not looking like it’ll will be back till Dec at the earliest.

Or better news… It’s back on the 21st Nov. :)

Hey Sophie and all other readers, well I must say that although I am thouroughly disappointed that the show has been taken off the air from Episode 4 of Season 3, it would not be fair if they took it off for the election whilst other shows were still being aired, I heard from a source through IMDbPro that its because Terrence Howard who apparently is a producer behind the series and he asked for a short hiatus due to the fact one of the other cast members had requested they take a short leave of absence for personal reasons in the run up to the election and would not be available to participate in the main reason as to why?

Is there any interest in picking this up in the UK as the series has been really popular in the US and it seems quite interesting.
