Star-studded newsroom drama Press is coming to PBS’ Masterpiece this October, and the official U.S. trailer for the series is here.

The six-episode series features an all-star cast led by Masterpiece fan favorite David Suchet of Poirot fame, with Charlotte Riley, Ben Chaplin, Priyanga Burford, Shane Zaza, Ellie Kendrick and more.

Despite the timely nature of the topic, Press will apparently not tackle any of the hot button issues affecting the media industry today. So don’t expect Suchet or Riley to suddenly start waxing poetic about the evils of fake news or the perils of bot commenters. No, instead, apparently the series will tackle broader and less controversial topics, such as how reporters navigate the new and varied ethical minefields facing them in their industry today.
