Looks like BT's Youview platform (which I don't know much about) is needed to get AMC.

Sky customers who subscribe to BT Sports will also get access to the channel, I believe.

I don’t think it’s been confirmed anywhere, but this appears correct.
AMC UK is already testing (broadcasting a looped promo) on Sky if you manually tune it in (11.082 H SR 22 FEC 5/6, channel ‘
50315’) - so my guess is that it will be available on the Sky platform, but not part of a Sky package (you’ll need to subscribe to BT Sports to watch it).

All I see is an upgrade message.

Prison Break to return for a limited 10 part series. Both actors have confirmed to return. However the events that happened in the straight to dvd movie will be ignored.

The Strain has been renewed for a third season
Archer has moved from FX to FXX and will air it's seventh season there next year. FXX is FX's second channel which is also home to It's always sunny and a few other half hour comedies.

In TV and film canon and continuity are now essentially meaningless concepts, simply ignored when they become inconvenient.

Sense8 renewed for a second season.

What fantastic news! I really enjoyed season 1.

The pilots of Lucifer, The Carmichael Show, Minority Report and Blindspot have all leaked

Yes, a friend of mine *cough* noticed that earlier and might have *cough* Lucifer and Minority Report to watch later on .. *cough* ..

Unless i'm mistaken, Minority Report debuts in about a month anyway, but Lucifer isn't scheduled to appear until next year.

^thanks for the heads up, I'll be <coughing> over all 3 of them shortly, and by <coughing> I mean <wishingIhadthembutwontcosthatdbewrongandnaughtyandIshouldwaitfortheirproperreleasedates>, obviously.

E4 have picked up the UK rights to Rush Hour the tv series and Containment which is a US remake of the Belgian drama Corden which recently finished airing on BBC4. Both will premiere next year.

Fox UK has picked up the UK rights to TWD season 6, AHS: Hotel season 5, Tyrant season 2, Da Vinci's Demons season 3 and NCIS season 13. These are all returning series. New series they've picked up are the UK rights to is Backstrom a one-season show, Outcast a comic-book adaptation from the creator of TWD Robert Kirkman and Adult Swim animated series' Rick and Morty and Mr Pickles. Willl premiere later this year/early 2016.

Watch has dropped Being Human USA after 3 seasons. Will not be broadcasting the last and final season 4. Watch has also dropped Saving Hope after 2 seasons.

Universal Channel has dropped Graceland after 2 seasons.

It's about time a UK audience can discover Rick and Morty.

Thanks for those updates

Rick and Morty has been available in the UK on the Adult Swim website for a while now. I'd be really disappointed if that were to change as I don't have Fox, but it probably means we'll get a DVD/BD release, which is always good...

I hear *cough* the pilot of Lucifer is the best pilot since Man In The High Castle!

Didn't that only come out around 6 months ago?

Most likely. I suggested that Lucifer was the best pilot since...

With news that E4 have bought the rights to Rush Hour and Containment i decided to check out the trailers for the shows on YouTube.

Containment actually looks quite decent and something i could definetely see myself watching.

Rush Hour on the other hand is absolutely diabolical and looks utter shit. Oh my god, i actually feel embarrassed for E4. It's bad, bad, bad.

I thought it was distinctly average.

Minority Report - loved
Lucifer - need more but Lauren German is in it so will follow
And the other one (goes to remind self what it was)... Blindspot - meh.

It reminded me more of the 'voice of god' stuff from the comic Preacher than of Lucifer but I loved it. As Preacher is also meant to be turned into a TV show it should be interesting but I'm wondering if Lucifer will end up being another police procedural with supernatural elements. >sigh<

I really liked Blindspot. Yet to see the others.

I haven't watched Blindspot yet, but have watched Lucifer and Minority Report.

I can see me following both those shows, but I'm going to reserve judgement until their seasons actually start being shown properly. I've learnt my lesson regarding enthusiasm over a pilot after Mr Robot, as I loved the pilot but the series has proved a great disappointment for me. Sometimes a pilot is as good as a show gets and then it goes downhill.
