23 June 2017 Rob Buckley 8 Comments

Every Friday, I let you know the latest announcements about when new, imported TV shows will finally be arriving on UK screens

Acquisitions this week haven’t been huge, but we have:

Beauty and the Baker (Israel: Keshet Broadcasting) – acquired by Amazon but apparently already on All4/Walter Presents
Dynasty (US: The CW) – acquired by Netflix (UK)

Otherwise, all the new premiere dates are for new shows that haven’t aired anywhere yet, so I can’t tell you if they’re any good or not. Soz.
