Everything British Streaming on PBS Passport in August 2023

Usually, when there's a point in the calendar with new titles thin on the ground for PBS Passport, it's because seasons are mid-way through on linear. However, August 2023 is a bit of an outlier. With Masterpiece prepping for a 12-week, back-to-back one-two punch of Unforgotten/Van der Valk arriving the first weekend in September, followed by World on Fire/Annika in mid-October, there's a bit of a pause on Sundays once Grantchester and Ridley are over, with reruns of 2020's Little Women for some stations, and What To Do When Someone Dies as a binge for others. Either way, it means a short list of new titles coming to PBS Passport.

Speaking of Grantchester, this is another in a series of occasional reminders that though Season 8 is only halfway over on linear, it will not run past the first weekend of August. With DI Ray concluding on Sunday, July 31, Grantchester Season 8 will end with two back-to-back episodes on August 6, 2023, at 9 and 10 p.m. ET. Though members have probably binged all six episodes by now, for those who have not, be sure to catch both episodes by the first Sunday in August, as the news is out lead Tom Brittney (who plays Will Davenport) is on his way out and a new vicar heading to town for Season 9 come 2024.

Also, as fans gear up for September's arrivals, don't forget that Unforgotten's first four seasons are streaming on PBS Passport for members, as are Van der Valk Seasons 1 and 2. Feel free to get caught up on the first seasons of World on Fire and Annika while you're there.
