Doctor Who
Doctor Who: Flux is over, but that doesn't mean Doctor Who is done with the Thirteenth Doctor just yet. There will be no full season in 2022, but there will be a series of specials as the show gears up to cast a replacement lead and transfer from
Sanditon
Sanditon Season 2 won't arrive until spring of 2022, but the show is giving fans something to keep them warm all winter. With Theo James not returning to the program as Sidney Parker, Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) needs a new love interest. Moreover, her younger sister, Alison Heywood,
Doctor Who
In the end, Doctor Who's final regular-season episode of the 13th Doctor's time in the TARDIS ended now with a bang, but with a Multiple Doctors episode. It was a slightly different take on the already-done material, splitting the 13th Doctor into three instead
Landscapers
HBO's dramatization of the real-life Nottinghamshire murders, the long-gestating Landscapers, is finally about to bloom. Based on the real-life 1998 double murder of William and Patricia Wycherley, the project was initially announced back in December 2019 as Olivia Colman's first project after concluding
The Great British Baking Show
The problem with a weekly series with a hardcore fanbase is that in time, every season ends. How does one convert these viewers into staying the course and tuning in every week even after the show is over? There's no easy answer for those who air the once-

The Gilded Age
When Carnival Films sold firs run rights to Downton Abbey to PBS in 2010, it was never expected to be a massive hit in the U.K., let alone across the pond on American shores. But by 2012, as the show reached its zenith, the Downton production team started to
The Great British Baking Show: Holidays
The Great British Baking Show: Holidays are back with Season 4 this year, as the holiday season remains one of the last bastions of appointment television. The combination of the immediacy of the various holidays clustered from Oct. 31 to Jan. 1, the departure of DST making it dark early,
Doctor Who
During the Steven Moffat era, a specific type of Doctor Who episode became a hallmark: The zany romp. Exemplified by installments such as "A Good Man Goes To War," "Let's Kill Hilter," and "The Wedding of River Song," these episodes would arrive
The Great British Baking Show
After nine weeks of terrible not-funny openings where Noel and Matt have corraled most of their obnoxious boy energy, The Great British Baking Show season finale starts with an emotional pull at the heartstrings. One loss fans have had since the move to BakeOff Bubble land is the inability
