Acclaimed Drama 'Man in an Orange Shirt' Will Premiere on Masterpiece Next Spring

Powerful BBC drama Man in an Orange Shirt will officially premiere on PBS’ Masterpiece next spring.

While you may not have heart of this drama, it aired in the U.K. this past August - to generally rave reviews – as part the BBC’s 2017 Gay Britannia season, a series of programs meant to honor the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality.

The two-part series follows two gay love stories set 60 years apart – stories linked by family, and a painting that holds a secret that echoes down through the ages. (Sounds properly dramatic, right?)
