With several weeks left to go in 2024, BritBox, the go-to streaming service for all British TV obsessives, has unveiled its 2025 slate of new and returning TV shows. The platform also released a 90-second preview featuring footage from many of its forthcoming additions, including the Hugh Bonneville and Karen Gillan-starring Douglas is Cancelled and the Anjelica Huston and Matthew Rhys-led Agatha Christie adaptation Towards Zero. The sizzle reel also features footage from the new seasons of beloved returning shows like Vera, Karen Pirie, and Blue Lights.

“BritBox anticipates our most electrifying year yet, delivering a slate of premium television to delight BritBox fans and new audiences,” said Robert Schildhouse, president of BritBox North America and GM BritBox International. “From inspired reimaginings of well-known tales to dramas filled with surprise, intrigue, and emotional resonance, BritBox presents gripping narratives, complex challenges, and dynamic characters, crafted by powerhouse talent in front of and behind the camera. We can’t wait for everyone to experience the next chapter of BritBox’s story onscreen in 2025.”

The new year will kick off in noteworthy fashion for the streaming service with the BritBox premiere of Vera season 14 on January 2. That month will also feature the premiere of Father Brown season 12, while new shows like A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story, Ludwig, and I, Jack Wright are currently set to debut in February, March, and May, respectively.
