BBC Promos

The BBC released its first trailer for upcoming, presumably heart-wrenching drama The Cry starring Victoria’s Jenna Coleman.

The BBC released the first trailer for Poldark Season 4, along with a brand new image of stars Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson as Ross and Demelza. Not to be outdone, PBS' Masterpiece turned around and dropped their version of the same promo, along with a handful of additional new photos and an official U.S. airdate. 

Yeah, it's a pretty good week to be a Poldark fan. 

The BBC has released two clips from upcoming period drama The Miniaturist, a tense, lush-looking series based on the mega-popular novel of the same name by Jessie Burton. The three-part drama is a Masterpiece co-production, meaning that it’ll be heading to the U.S. next year on PBS.

The Miniaturist follows the story of a young woman in 17th century Amsterdam who, excited for her new life as the wife of a prosperous merchant, finds herself in a world of betrayal and fear instead.

The holidays are approaching, which means it’s almost time for one of our favorite traditions – the annual Call the Midwife Christmas special!

After last year’s adventure in Africa, the nuns and midwives of Nonnatus House are staying a bit closer to home this holiday season. Though they’ll definitely be quite a bit colder this time around. 

Powerful BBC drama Man in an Orange Shirt will officially premiere on PBS’ Masterpiece next spring.

While you may not have heart of this drama, it aired in the U.K. this past August - to generally rave reviews – as part the BBC’s 2017 Gay Britannia season, a series of programs meant to honor the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan wondering how you’ll pass the time during the series’ (likely quite lengthy) hiatus, don’t worry. You won’t have to go that long without seeing its star Kit Harington on your television screen again.

The Thrones actor has the leading role in upcoming BBC series Gunpowder, a three-part drama which tells the story of the infamous Gunpowder Plot. This is the 17th conspiracy that meant to blow up the House of Lords and kill King James I, so that a Catholic monarch could be restored to the throne of England. 

The BBC has released the first teaser for the third season of psychological thriller The Fall, and it’s basically guaranteed to seriously stress you out.

The crime drama stars Gillian Anderson as Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson, on the hunt for uber-creepy serial killer Paul Spector, a normal-seeming married man who secretly stalks and murders successful, young professional women.  Spector is played by 50 Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan, and is basically terrifying. 

Prepare yourselves Poldark fans – a new Season 2 trailer has arrived!

The BBC has released the first trailer for its upcoming supernatural thriller The Living and the Dead.

The six-part drama stars Merlin’s Colin Morgan and Line of Duty’s Charlotte Spencer, along with several other familiar faces including Atlantis’ Robert Emms, The White Queen’s David Oakes and Glue’s Steve Oram. 

The BBC has released another trailer for its upcoming sequel to The Hollow Crown. Subtitled The Wars of the Roses the series is the centerpiece of the corporation’s big celebration to mark the 400th anniversary of playwright William Shakespeare’s death.

The original Hollow Crown aired in 2013 and adapted four of the Bard’s history plays – Richard II, Henry IV Pts. 1 and 2 and Henry V – into a single chronological narrative, and had the same actors play the same roles across all the plays. This second series is comprised of adaptations of Richard III and Henry VI, though they’re streamlining the latter into two films, rather than three. (Which, on the whole, is probably a good decision.)

These plays recount the story of the titular Wars of the Roses, when two families – the Plantagenets and the Lancasters – battled for control of England’s crown.
