Every Friday, TMINE lets you know the latest announcements about when new imported TV shows will finally be arriving on UK screens – assuming anyone’s bought anything, of course

No new acquisitions this week, guys, but we do have some premiere dates.

East Los High (US: Hulu; UK: My5)
Premiere date: September 11

I’ve already talked about this one, but we have a premiere date now.

Prófugos (Fugitives) (Chile: HBO Latin America; UK: Channel 4)
Premiere date: September 20

The UK’s first ever Chilean import:

Fugitives opens with four men embarking on a high-risk operation, smuggling a petrol tanker of liquid cocaine from Bolivia to Chile. When the operation catastrophically unravels these four men are forced to go on the run. Despite hardly knowing each other and having little in common, their only hope of survival is staying together as they escape frantic pursuit from every direction.
