Vanessa Redgrave stars in acclaimed drama Man in an Orange Shirt, coming to PBS’ Masterpiece this summer as a one-off special.

The drama originally aired on the BBC in 2017, as part of its “Gay Britannia” season, a series of programs meant to honor the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in the United Kingdom. It comes to Masterpiece in June 2018, as the United States celebrates Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride month, an annual event which commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots in Manhattan. The riots are generally considered a tipping point for the gay rights movement here in America.

Masterpiece will air the two-part drama in a single evening, on Sunday, June 17.
