The Best British Shows Coming to America in 2025
We're ringing in the new year as 2024 finally sees itself out. We're halfway through the future's take on the Roaring 20s and a quarter of the way through the 21st century, making 2025 feel like a year of deep import. Whether the new year will live up to expectations remains to be seen, but, like death and taxes, there is one thing we can rely on: Television. Whether you digitally watch over the air, still have a cable line, or sift through a morass of apps on whichever device is handy, there's more TV than ever, wherever and whenever viewers want it.
It's a great time to be a lover of British TV, which is, arguably, one of the big winners of the streaming wars in America, with its high-end, A-list casts who make shows in English. The 2023 dual strike of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA left holes in the late 2024 and early 2025 schedule, causing streaming services to import and produce more U.K. shows than ever in the last year or so. Moreover, though the streaming wars are clearly divided into winning and losing sides, there's still a plethora of places bringing British shows to America.
The end result is that 2024 and 2025 are bringing some seriously buzzy series to TVs across the U.K., and we in America will have unprecedented access to them across a variety of platforms. Of course, with so many platforms running on different schedules, it many be hard to find them all. So we're running down the top ten British series heading our way and where they'll stream in 2025.
