Drama

Political drama COBRA arrives on PBS this October and, if the first trailer is any indication, it's going to feel uncomfortably timely for many of us.

Julian Fellowes turns from Highclere Castle to the football pitch with The English Game, a period drama that ostensibly exists to tell the story of the origins of the sport we Americans now call soccer, but which spends just as much time exploring issues of class and inclusion as it does the art of passing.

Last Tango in Halifax is finally back! After an almost three-year absence from our screens here in the U.S., the Buttershaws and their clan have returned as delightful and dysfunctional as ever. And while time may have passed, not that much has changed really.

Hands up - who is excited for the return of Last Tango in Halifax? Great! Now, who has gotten a little fuzzy on the details of the Buttershaw family’s shenanigans since we last saw them in Christmastime 2017? Well, never fear because we’ve put together a quick overview of the show to remind you of the key plot points of the series.

New Netflix French-language period drama La Revolution will reimagine the history of France, 

The first trailer for The Spanish Princess Season 2 shows Catherine of Aragon preparing for battle - in more ways than one.

The first trailer for Netflix's remake of Rebecca is here, starring Lily James and Armie Hammer.

Though we haven't heard much in recent months about a potential fourth season of period drama Victoria, star Jenna Coleman still hopes to make more of the show. 

The trailer for His Dark Materials Season 2 promises a dark and epic ride - with everything from grand battles and militant witches to the debut of Andrew Scott. 

The series earned the unflattering nickname, "All Creatures Grunt and Smell"; the Radio Times called it “a cup-of-cocoa” drama; and The Guardian sniffily commented that “… [it] will always be remembered as the show in which lead characters spent at least part of a series with their hand up the back end of a cow.” 

But from 1977 to 1990, for an adoring British audience, All Creatures Great and Small was the highlight of the week's viewing.
