Information is a bit light on this one: Brian McClellan’s Powder Mage trilogy is to be adapted into a TV show
It’s not clear when it’s due, or whether it will be named for the series (Powder Mage) or for the first book (Promise of Blood). Hopefully the former because Promise of Blood sounds like another vampire series.
It’s a trilogy of fantasy books where some of the magical abilities revolve around the use of gunpowder and muskets.
There’s a second trilogy in the same world and sharing some of the same characters called Gods of Blood and Powder, as well as a number of short stories and novellas so plenty of material
Thanks John, just posted about that after I saw the article last night too. 🙂 I don’t know the books at all, but I’m a huge fan of Joseph Mallozzi who is doing the adaptation. I actually interviewed him back when he was doing Dark Matter, and he’s a really nice, down-to-earth, guy.
Any chance of tracking a couple of Israeli shows on Netflix: “Fauda” and “Shtisel”? Many thanks.

Dave,
I just got an email saying that Marcella had been updated. Great!, I thought, but it’s listed as “No exact date/time – Unknown 2021”. Has its schedule been downgraded? If so, any background info from ITV that made you change it?
Thanks.
Hi Piers,
Sorry looks like there was a caching issue. It should be showing the correct info now!
Cheers
Dave
Got it! Thanks!
Hey?
Can Deutschland ’89 and the Showtime documentary series The Reagan’s please be added to the list?
Thanks!
Hi Ciarán, The Regans is a film not a series, so not something I’d add to the list (it should come to Sky Atlantic though when it does land).
Deutschland is in the system, I just hadn’t updated it. 🙂 https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/deutschland/
Brilliant thanks Dave
Pretty Little Liars Spinoff The Perfectionists Season 1 Box Set starts on Saturday 16th January 2021 on BBC iplayer.
Info from TVWISE
Willow Tv Series on Disney + has lost it’s Director due to the UK Lockdown and because Jon M. Chu is to become a Dad in the summer.
Info from Digital Spy and his Twitter page.
What are the chances of Disney + exclusive content such as the mandalorian or S7 of agents of shield every appearing on sky or normal tv channels in the years ahead (I say years simply because I know they are not going to appear anytime soon)
Hard to say… I mean, never say never, but I don’t see it happening any time soon. Some sort of disc release is possible I guess (especially for AoS), but I don’t see them handing over something like The Mandalorian to another broadcaster for a long while.
Pick will be showing 9-1-1 I missed the original date but the first episode of season 1 is repeated on 12 January at 10pm, and 2nd episode is shown Thurs 14th Jan at 9pm and it looks to be shown weekly… Knowing Pick, it’ll probably just be Season 1, for now
What I’m looking forward to finding out if shows like 9-1-1, Lone Star, Station 19 and Greys Anatomy will have the new seasons on Disney+ when the STAR section launches on the 23rd February.
That’s an interesting point actually. I’ve just been back through the Jan, Feb, and Coming In 2021 pdf docs I had from Sky, and none of the ABC shows are specifically mentioned in there. That doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t come to Sky but it does potentially make the deals more complex when Disney has another option of a place to put them now.
That’s very interesting indeed. When I sent an email last month to Sky viewer relations asking directly what will happen to the latest seasons of ABC shows, their response was “we don’t have anything to confirm at this moment and we will have further clarification in the new year”. To me that was code for Sky won’t be showing the new seasons.
That’s more likely code for they are negotiating contracts (which, yes, could possibly lead to them not being shown on Sky).
I could see a situation where they negotiate something similar to what they do with The Simpsons, where one premieres it and the other gets it afterwards. In The Simpsons case, Sky air it first, but I do wonder if they would do it the other way around with some of the ABC shows, where STAR has it first and Sky run it later.
Worth pointing Disney aren’t the International distributor For Life, The Good Doctor and The Rookie.
The Rookie was sold by Entertainment One in over 180 countries for example.
Yep, I did think after I posted that I should amend it to mention that the international distributors are going to be different for some of the ABC shows, so thanks for mentioning that. 🙂
Good spot Martin. The Good Doctor is ABC for US and Sony for international. Am I right in thinking that Sony signed a deal with Sky for films and shows?
Yep, back in July last year I think. Covered the movies and shows (including For Life, Blacklist, The Good Doctor and S.W.A.T.)
Thanks Dave.
Was there any indication how long that deal would last? As I reckon over time Disney will want to be the international distributor for the Good Doctor if they can, but of course with Sony being joint production it could cause a bit of pain for Disney if they tried to do so.
Can’t see a time limit, but it was a new “long-term” partnership, renewing a deal the originally signed in 2016, so I would suspect it’s at least 5yrs.
I doubt Disney could get in on the international distribution as Sony co-produce the show. Disney gets the US distribution and Sony handles the international for that show (which is a common sort of split when a US network co-produces a series with an outside studio).
Going back to where the discussion started about shows coming to STAR, you’re looking more at things where Disney has the international distribution, so Greys/S19, 9-1-1, The Orville, The Resident, Family Guy, Black-ish, Mixed-ish, Grow-ish…
I’m not saying they will come to STAR (although I think Black-ish was confirmed), but those are shows which could possibly end up on STAR at some point, or have some cross-deal with Sky where they premiere on one then move to the other. Financially, it might not make sense to horde everything for STAR, as they are then cutting off quite a large revenue stream if they aren’t selling shows to international broadcasters as well. So, like with The Simpsons, they gave Sky the premiere, but it does then come to Disney+ later.
I’d rather wait for Sky to put 9-1-1 On Demand.
It’s all going to be personal preference. If Disney get to put the episodes on Disney+ the day after aired in the US, that will be far better than waiting weeks or months for Sky.
Not if you don’t have Disney it’s not, I certainly won’t be getting any more subscriptions either.
HBO Max will be airing new episodes of Sex and the City with production beginning late spring also Kim Cattrall won’t be in the new season.
Info from BBC News Website
According to the latest issue of Radio Times and on listings Season 14 of Murdoch Mysteries will be on at 9pm not 8pm.
Was season 7 of 100 ever shown on e4.
As I cant remember
No we are still waiting for a uk release date
Thank you I was so confused when looked online
Did E4 even pick up the rights for the final season?
Good question I don’t think anyone knows the answer?
I’d agree no one knows the definitive answer here. Clues elsewhere relating to other US shows they have had the rights to give mixed indications as to what it may be. More4 did not show the final season of Berlin Station, which is now available from streaming stores and Amazon is listing a DVD release for season 4 of The Good Fight, which was also a More4 show. Set against that, E4 did eventually show season 2 of Charmed (burning the episodes off), so whether or not E4 shows cost less than ones destined for More4 might make a diference here. Supernatural season 15 is not a factor here, as it was, to my understanding, purchased before the pandemic broke out. I have seen it suggested Channel 4 has tightened its belt with regard to American purchases as a result of the pandemic As I’ve posted before here, I also notice Prime seem to be stalling on adding Season 6,; in the past they have added seasons with shorter gaps between season finale on E4. I wonder if they might be waiting to see if E4 have indeed passed on it, and then might add both seasons at once. The season is now out on DVD in regions 1 and 4, but you need a compatibile DVD player and a seller wiling to ship to the UK (these numbners are ereduced owing to the pandemic) for that route. Amazon US would ship to the UK, but has no siock of either DVD or BluRay, but does have the complete series in stock at tiem of typing this. I wonder if Dave might make enquiries here, as questions relating to this particular show do get raised here fairly regularly.anbd I do fear it is another Colony or 12 Monkeys where the… Read more »
It’s also worth knowing that Season 6 was moved to Midnight but that is due to E4 airing Season 6 in the Autumn months after it air in America. Season 5 only aired weeks turned Days after the US.

When does Blue Bloods on Sky Witness start it’s new season?
Does anyone know when the new season of Beat The Chasers on ITV?
It’s been on the last 7 days
Dave, could you please put No Man’s Land on the list. Season 1 has just finished on Starzplay. It is brilliant, I feel it deserves more viewers and I would be interested to hear if it gets renewed for a second season. Thank you, as always, for the fantastic website.
Added https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/no-mans-land/ 🙂
Super fast!? Cheers!
so lets just agree to disagree and end the discussion ok
You may have noticed, I’ve removed all the HD/SD comments as it had devolved into mud-slinging rather than a discussion. Please keep things civil and respectful.
Well said dave it was getting out of hand and completely unnecessary
Thank you Dave.
Apologies Dave, I take some blame for continuing the conversation.
Will stick to discussion points on content rather than production/viewing quality

For anyone who hasn’t got Netflix the Nightshift starts on virgin ultra HD channel on 15th Jan at 10pm
Any idea when episode 10 of Agents Of Shield will be released on Disney +? I thought it was every Friday but it’s not showing on there
It’s on there for me Mark, I’m watching it right now!
Indeed it is. It wasn’t when I checked this morning lol thanks!
Probably put the weekly shows on at about 9am?
It’s there for me now (I’ll be watching it later)
maybe ncis etc could go to streaming sites like netflix and hulu amazon prime just a thought
I hope Fox doesn’t go. Even if there only a few shows I watch from there, it’s something. For all we know, if Fox goes, we could find these shows moving to a channel like 5USA where it’s SD. Heck no. I refuse to lose yet another HD channel. The UK has way way too many SD only channel. The UK is very backwards when it comes to TV.
If anything it would make more sense for NCIS to appear on a “channel 5” like 5USA or Paraomount, because these channels are owned by ViacomCBS who ows CBS All Acces. The NCIS programs are on CBS All Access in the US as they are produced by CBS.
please no, the last time a 5 branded channel had ncis franchise they kept messing up the schedule big time especially when it came to crossover episodes
It would be the biggest mistake for these SD only channels to get any programs we want to watch. I do not want NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans to be broadcast in SD. So no. 5USA and Paramount are some of the worst choices to put any program. They can run old programs that nobody wants to watch. The TV providers need to tell these channels that they need to go HD.
Although, when The Magicians used to be shown on one of the 5 channels, although it was broadcast only in SD, I discovered you could download it on the Sky box in HD. Don’t know if they are still doing that as there doesn’t seem to be anything on 5 channels I’m watching at the moment (and The Magicians is currently on Amazon Prime).
Yes, that is true, although ViacomCBS don’t really seem to have any interest in retaining their own content outside of the USA.
I suspect they make more off selling it internationally to other broadcasters, than hoarding it for their own international channels. I know a couple of years ago, the head of CBS commented it was the first time international sales of programmes made more for the company than domestic advertising, although that was prior to the Viacom merger.
It’s certainly going to be interesting to see what happens with Paramount+ launching as a rebranded CBS All Access, they have made the intent to launch globally. The Nordics website about Paramount+ is very interesting as it mentions shows from CBS, Channel 5.
If ViacomCBS did launch Paramount+ in the UK, I could see them just rebranding My5 for it. Since it’s programming already being mentioned as part of the Paramount+ lineup.
That’s my ideal situation as Sky do a very very poor job at airing most of the CBS shows. Like SWAT and FBI for example, literally months after the US air date. Countless times I’ve had episodes and seasons spoiled because of the delay just to “miss” the breaks. Surely it could be available on catch up the day after the US and have the typical “UK” delay for airing on TV?
That is an interesting point, as so many of the CBS (and CBS All Access) shows have been sold to other broadcasters in the UK already. If they launched Paramount+ in the UK, and stuffed it with CBS shows with next day after the US airing, I think that would be a winner for them. It does very much depend on what the deals are currently with channels airing CBS dramas though.
Absolutely, my hope some point this year ViacomCBS will make some announcements for further expansion of Paramount+. They already stated it’ll launch in Australia and the Nordic’s.
Retaining all the rights for CBS and other shows owned by ViacomCBS, then putting them on demand the following day from US airing would be perfect. Would sign up hands down.
It would also save me using my VPN to get CBS All Access!
I’m not confident that Paramount+ would be in HD. Also, shows like S.W.A.T.and FBI are shown in UHD. There is no way I want to risk going from UHD to SD. Leave the TV shows as they are and if Paramount+ comes in HD then they can air some other HD only shows.
To be perfectly clear I have the current CBS All Access subscription in the US and it has profiles and the content is in HD 5.1. So if or when Paramount+ launches in the UK you can bet it’ll be in HD
Why take off network TV when they are popular though? I get that you don’t like them personally but why does that mean they have to go to streaming services? (Not a personal attack, a genuine question)
