Everything British for PBS Viewers to Stream in April 2025
Because of the vagaries of the spring schedule, April is a funny time at PBS Masterpiece, programing-wise. It's either jam-packed with premieres and finales because everything is three or four episodes long, or it gets skipped altogether because the March premieres fell on the late side of the calendar, and everything is six to eight episodes. For 2025, it's the latter scenario: Wolf Hall is six episodes, and Miss Austen (which directly follows in May) is four; both are bookended on either side by Call the Midwife and Marie Antoinette, which are eight episodes a pop.
That's how you get one of the most significant viewing months in quite some time on Masterpiece, and yet not a single entry in this month's streaming list.
While the Spring 2025 Sunday trio of British shows continue to air weekly, the other corners of PBS that provide British content are filling the gap. We've got an entire lineup of shows arriving on the first of the month on select PBS stations and PBS Passports around the country, ranging from nature and animal specials to historical documentaries and deep dives into the royal family. As always, Walter Presents will have Friday debuts of crime shows and thrillers. But perhaps the biggest debut is another Acorn TV series coming out from behind the paywall for PBS viewers to fall in love with.
