What time, TMINE? Including Ratched

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

It’s the last What time, TMINE? before TMINE’s August break and naturally, since August is going to be a bit light for TV in general, there haven’t been too many new premiere dates announced or acquisitions made.

But there have been some.

Acquisitions

UK premiere dates

Ratched (Netflix)

UK premiere date: Friday, September 18

Ratched is a suspenseful drama series that tells the origin story of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’s asylum nurse Mildred Ratched. In 1947, Mildred arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind.

On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be, but the wheels are always turning and as she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it, Mildred’s stylish exterior belies a growing darkness that has long been smouldering within, revealing that true monsters are made, not born.

Stars: Sarah Paulson, Cynthia Nixon, Judy Davis, Sharon Stone, Jon Jon Briones, Finn Wittrock, Charlie Carver, Alice Englert, Amanda Plummer, Corey Stoll, Sophie Okonedo and Vincent D’Onofrio
