Acorn TV 2020
AMC Networks’ leading streaming service for Britain and Beyond has the following exclusive premieres for the offering in January 2020:
ACKLEY BRIDGE
Ackley Bridge offers a gritty, funny, and truthful look into the daily drama of teachers, teenagers, and families whose lives and cultures collide when two schools are integrated after years of racial segregation in a small Yorkshire town. Series 3 has its exclusive U.S. Premiere on Monday, January 13, 2020.
THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES
The hit New Zealand mystery, with new episodes, premieres Mondays beginning Jan. 6.
Puzzles are, by their nature, endlessly intriguing. There’s something about a murder mystery that is forever compelling. The elements are timeless.
The comfortable, somewhat homely location- in our story, a small, vaguely familiar rural town.
The hero- a solid, dependable cop with more than a few flaws but a twinkle in his eye – often underestimated by both friends and enemies.
The crime. Macabre, inventive and totally mystifying.
The suspects. Always a collection of quirky, complex characters driven by different but classical desires: love, revenge, pride, lust, envy, greed or hatred.
In the deadly but picturesque town of Brokenwood all these elements are bubbling, seething and coalescing into; The Brokenwood Mysteries.
MURDOCH MYSTERIES
This award-winning Canadian series unrolls new episodes on Mondays with more whodunnit intrigue and its trademark engaging stories. They’ve got weekly premiering episodes through April 13, 2020.
