Doc Martin
Although the tenth and final season of Doc Martin has concluded, we're still not quite finished with Portwenn just yet. (Much like the Ellinghams themselves!) The Season 10 finale ended with Martin and his wife Louisa deciding to abandon their plans to move to London after a series
BritBox
BritBox has several high-profile projects heading to streaming for 2023, from the Cary Grant biopic Archie to the Death in Paradise spinoff Beyond Paradise. But one of the streaming service’s most significant gets is landing the new historical drama from Sir Lenny Henry, partly based on the oral family

Call the Midwife
Call The Midwife has been a staple of the BBC and PBS since its debut a decade ago in 2012, as is the series' yearly Christmas special. The series' U.K. premiere, which traditionally occurs in January, comes close enough on the heels of the late December holiday
Movies
Some actors become famous for being miscast by a well-meaning director: Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, for instance, or Benedict Cumberbatch in anything that requires an American accent. Then some actors miscast themselves in vanity projects, (Once again, Kevin Costner comes to mind, as does anything James
Drama
Cable network TNT has acquired the rights to buzzy British action thriller The Lazarus Project, which follows the story of a covert team dedicated to preventing mass extinction events by resetting the timeline in which they occur. The series initially aired in the U.K. back in August and hails
Movies
Americans may be credited with inventing the modern day musical, but for decades, Britain has made substantial contributions to the canon. Les Mis, The Lion King, The Rocky Horror Picture Show – none of these iconic moneymakers would exist were it not for the efforts of supremely talented Britons. That’s
