Everything British for PBS Viewers to Stream in June 2024
Summer technically doesn't officially start until mid-June, but in the world of television, the moment the Emmy eligibility window closes on May 31, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. PT, it might as well be the equinox, and the end of school rolled into one. It's a new year in the world of prestige TV, and the point of the calendar when the sun stays up until all hours of the evening and rises the next day far earlier than most people's alarms. It's the time of the year when viewership starts dropping, shows find themselves piling up on DVRs unwatched, and perhaps most importantly, for the PBS crowd, it's the time of year when pledge season kicks in.
Once upon a time, pledge season would be no programming debuts of note, especially in the British import department, but thankfully, the 21st century no longer plays by the old rules. Streaming services must have new content all the time, and that's true no matter what time of year it is or which corner of the entertainment world the programming comes from. So, while the main Masterpiece offerings on PBS won't show up until June is halfway over, there's still plenty hitting PBS Passport for members to get viewers through the first half of the month.
That being said, since June is the moment of turnover, there's basically no carryover programming from May. MaryLand, Guilt, and Lucy Worsley's latest series have all concluded, leaving us a clean slate to start off June 2024. Let's get into it.
