'Alice & Jack' to Debut on 'Masterpiece' in March

Masterpiece has finally revealed the premiere date for Alice & Jack, nearly six months after the PBS anthology series acquired it just ahead of its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in August 2023. At the time, the romantic drama was announced as slated to air in "Spring 2024," but as PBS tends to air Masterpiece shows in both the mid-March and the late April/early May berths in the spring, that was a broad window. Moreover, Masterpiece had several series mentioned in conjunction with and then confirmed for Spring 2024 already, including Nolly and MaryLand, not to mention Call The Midwife Season 13, which was confirmed to return to its usual March debut slot.

However, with Alice & Jack now confirmed for a mid-March 2024 debut, the schedule is now coming into focus. The contemporary-set, adult-oriented series, which has six episodes, will debut in the 10 p.m. ET slot on most PBS stations, airing weekly through April 21, 2024. Call The Midwife, which runs its usual eight episodes, will debut the same night at 8 p.m. ET and run from mid-March to mid-May. That leaves Nolly and MaryLand, at three installments each, to run in the 9 p.m. ET berth back-to-back, with Nolly airing from March 17-March 31 and MaryLand from April 7-April 21, 2024. That leaves the late April slots at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET open for two more series to come this spring.
