Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK

Just two acquisitions this week. The first is Tabula Rasa (Belgium: VRT), which has been picked up by Channel 4/Walter Presents and will air in the summer, but there’s no specific date yet. It’s a crime drama about a woman with amnesia, just in case you’re wondering, but I’ll tell you more when there’s a premiere date.

Also picked up this week is:

The Looming Tower (US: Hulu; UK: Amazon)
Premiere date: Thursday, March 1

Alec Baldwin and Jeff Daniels star in this 10-part series, based on the Pulitzer prize-winning non-fiction book by Lawrence Wright, that examines the work of the CIA and FBI in tracking the growing influence of Al Qaeda before the 9/11 attacks. It also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Stuhlbar, Tahar Rahim and Virginia Kull.
