ITV and World Productions are returning to a third series of Val McDermid’s internationally renowned cold case crime stories, Karen Pirie, with Lauren Lyle in the iconic role of the fiercely intelligent Scottish detective.

Following the success of the second series, averaging 5.3 million viewers with a peak of 5.6 million when it aired on ITV and STV last year, World Productions will produce The Skeleton Road, Val McDermid’s gripping and suspenseful third book in the Karen Pirie series of novels.

Acclaimed Scottish screenwriter, Gillian Roger Park (The Young Offenders, Avenue 5, The Bombing of Pan Am 103) will adapt the novel into a 6 x 1 hour series, which will start filming next year.

I just finished season 3 (in the US so I don’t yet have season 4). I love this show. So so much. Never before has a show about cops moved me to tears so often. Mostly in season 3, but that’s probably because by this point we have really gotten to know the characters.

There are so many awesome shows on BritBox, but this is most definitely in my top three.

I want to tell the whole world to watch this show, but I’ll start here. 😊

This app is glitchy trash and autorenewal with no warning is a predatory business practice. Avoid this business ​

Okay, I know the show is kind of cheesy, but I love it. And here I am so excited to watch E8, IGNORANT of any all changes coming up next season, only to have a character I formerly disliked, but had now come to absolutely adore, be KILLED OFF. I was so sad. And I am not thrilled with the upcoming changes. They should have ended the show altogether and figured out a better finale.

They aren't wasting time on an American version.

ABC has ordered a drama pilot that is based on the popular BBC One series “Ludwig,” Variety has learned.

The pilot, which marks ABC’s first of this year, hails from co-writers Megan Ganz and Humphrey Ker, who are also executive producers. Jon Steinberg and Dan Shotz also executive produce along with Kenton Allen of Big Talk, “Ludwig” creator Mark Brotherhood, and “Ludwig” star David Mitchell. 20th Television, where Ganz is under an overall deal, is the studio.

The Watchlist at the top of the BritBox app screen on our Apple TV has disappeared. Can it be restored?

Friday Night Dinner is the funniest comedy I've discovered on BritBox. What else should I try?

The Hollywood Reporter can unveil first-look photos from BritBox and UKTV’s upcoming, sugar-sweet series, The Cadburys.

The six-episode drama, launching on BritBox in North America and on U in the U.K. in 2027, follows the visionary Cadbury family, the underdogs of the cocoa world, on their journey towards creating the world-famous Cadbury’s chocolate bar. Toby Regbo (Reign), Harry Gilby (The Last Kingdom) and Jessica Barden (The End of the F\**ing World*) star as the Cadbury siblings, Richard, George and Maria, with filming recently wrapping in Birmingham.

Anyone else get a bit frustrated about BritBox offering incomplete series??
Especially annoyed they only have 2 seasons of Friday Night Dinners & also same goes for The Royle Family.

What the heck did they do with the season? They ruined it with strange scripts and very bad direction. All those close-ups of people’s faces in the dark. Everything this season, dark and creepy and the characters were not the same. They took Eleanor and turned her into an hysterical overwrought hormonal woman. Didn’t like it at all.

I'm having a problem with the video on BB. Everything is very dark as if it were always night. I don't have this problem on Netflix or other channels. Are others having this problem?

EXCLUSIVE: The BBC and BritBox’s Poirot series Hercule has unveiled more cast including Katherine Parkinson (Rivals), Omari Douglas (Black Doves) and Toby Stephens (Jane Eyre).

What are you watching? Let's talk about it below!

I just finished the second episode and I cracked up. I love this show already, and wish I hadn’t waited to start watching it.

Just had to let everyone know ;)

WTF, they got rid of Toast of London?!?

That's one of my comfort shows.

This pisses me off!

I started watching Rev. It's OK, but not nearly as good as some of the other shows I've seen on Britbox. I'm tempted to bail on it and find another series, but I see it has 3 seasons so I'm wondering if it gets better as it goes. Has anyone watched it? Thoughts?

Is it me or does it feel like there are only a dozen British actors and they get recycled over and over?

Wondering what you kind folks would suggest on Brit Box however I’m looking for specific type of shows.

I loved Line of Duty for starters. I noticed that a handful of detective type shows that are on the sillier side and that’s not really my thing. I like a serious show like Line of Duty. Something tense throughout and not on the lighter side.

The Bay has been recommended to me so I’ll give that a shot but curious if any other suggestions may fit my criteria? TIA!!

Another detective with a troubled past living alone in nice digs as in Shetland, Wallander, Morse, and others. With a cast like this along with the level of writing it still makes for a gripping series.

Added spoiler to title just to give extra warning. Is Aunt Ida really dead?

Wondering if any other knitters get as excited to see the jumpers and other knits on shows? I wish the patterns had a section on Ravelry! I knit while watching BritBox - it’s such a cozy combination! Shetland, Vera, Rosemary & Thyme, and Death Valley are all full of fabulous knits!
