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

A few acquisitions this week that the networks are going to sit on until they’re ready to release them into the world:

Otherwise, it’s all new premiere dates. Also, I don’t know if I was wrong when I said The Rook was going to be available on StarzPlay from Monday, but Virgin is now claiming it’s got exclusive rights to the show, so that might be worth checking before you invest in a subscription to either service.

Not a lot of acquisitions this week. The biggie is Amazon’s bulk purchase of 75 Russian films and TV series, although when they’ll end up becoming available is anyone’s guess, as a few of those listed were already available. Plus Amazon never tells anyone.

Otherwise, a couple of show got picked up and had premiere dates: CBC (Canada)’s Bellevue and Viaplay (Sweden)’s most viewed show ever Advokaten (The Lawyer).
