Every Friday, I let you know the latest announcements about when new, imported TV shows will finally be arriving on your screens – assuming anyone’s bought any, of course.

I know what this feature’s called, but for once I can’t help you, since all the acquisitions this week have been shows that haven’t even aired in the US yet or which I didn’t bother watching since they were on Audience and sounded a bit pervy. All the same, Netflix wants them.

Beyond (US)
Netflix UK: January 3rd
You Me Her (US)
Netflix UK: January 18th
Riverdale (US)
Netflix UK: January 27th

Seeing as I haven’t reviewed them, have some trailers instead.

News: The Lymond Chronicles adaptation; Cruel Intentions dead; extended Riverdale trailer; + more
