BritBox to Launch a ‘The Bletchley Circle’ Spin-off
Streaming service Britbox is making the move into original programming, announcing that it will produce a brand new spin-off of popular female-led mystery series The Bletchley Circle.
Announced during their session last week at the winter edition of the Television Critics Association Press Tour, the new series will be entitled The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco.
The original series was set in 1952 and followed the story of four women, all former codebreakers at Bletchley Park, site of Britain’s most famous decryption establishment. (It’s where the German “enigma code” was eventually broken and where Alan Turing and his team worked.) After noticing a pattern in a string of murders, the women come together once more to investigate the crimes.
