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

A slight name change for ‘When’s that show you mentioned starting, TMINE?’ this week, seeing as we’ve had no new premiere dates announced this week, but Walter has made a couple of acquisitions.

Acquisitions

Herrens veje (Ride Upon The Storm) (DR1 Denmark)
Will air this year. Maybe.

20 part story written by Borgen‘s Adam Price and starring Lars Mikkelsen. It explores the nature of good and evil through a family of priests over successive generations.

Greyzone (TV2 Denmark/TV4 Sweden)

Borgen’s Birgitte Hjort Sørensen plays a drone engineer who is taken hostage by terrorists in her own home but manages to get a message to the secret services, who desperately try to prevent an attack on Scandinavian soil.
