Freddie Fox as Strauss, Matt Berry as Detective Inspector Rabbit

IFC’s new comedy series Year of the Rabbit continues on Wednesday, February 26th at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. In the second episode, “Brick Man,” a new killer stalks the streets of London, disguised as the Brick Man, a terrifying figure from urban folklore. Rabbit and his team have to find the murderer before the city is engulfed by panic and riots.

The new series follows Detective Inspector Rabbit (Matt Berry; Toast of London, What We Do In The Shadows), a hardened booze-hound who’s seen it all, and his hapless, new, by-the-books partner Strauss (Freddie Fox; Cucumber, Banana). While they’re investigating a local murder, the lewd but insightful adoptive daughter (Susan Wokoma; Chewing Gum, Crazyhead) of the chief of police joins them, becoming the country’s first female officer. Together, the trio must fight crime while rubbing shoulders with street gangs, crooked politicians, Bulgarian princes, spiritualists, music hall stars and the Elephant Man.

The season finale of Seven Worlds, One Planet airs on Saturday, February 29th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on BBC AMERICA, AMC, IFC and SundanceTV. Saturday’s season finale focuses on Africa, the home to the greatest wildlife show on Earth. Where chimps make tools, cheetah hunt prey twice their size and, in crystal clear freshwater lakes, devious imposters trick caring fish mothers.

Following Emmy®-winning series Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II, Seven Worlds, One Planet tells the story of earth’s seven spectacular continents and how they shape the extraordinary animal behavior and biodiversity we see today.

Mandip Gill as Yasmin Khan, Tosin Cole as Ryan Sinclair, Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor, Bradley Walsh as Graham O'Brien
The season finale of Doctor Who, starring Jodie Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill, airs on Sunday, February 29th at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on BBC AMERICA. In the epic and emotional season finale, “The Timeless Children,” the Cybermen are on the march. As the last remaining humans are ruthlessly hunted down, Graham, Ryan and Yaz face a terrifying fight to survive. Civilizations fall. Others rise anew. Lies are exposed. Truths are revealed. Battles are fought. And for the Doctor — trapped and alone — nothing will ever be the same again.


Eleanor Matsuura as Yumiko, Khary Payton as Ezekiel, Josh McDermitt as Dr. Eugene Porter

The Walking Dead Season 10 continues on Sunday, March 1st at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on AMC. In Sunday’s all-new episode, “Stalker,” our group must defend Alexandria from a threatening, outside force.

The Walking Dead returned last week to find our group of survivors trapped. Some in the confines of a cave filled with walkers, while others were caught in a spiral of suspicion and grief. All orchestrated at the hand of Alpha, who continues to prove the Whisperers are always watching, and one step ahead of the communities. Which includes the new and potentially deadly threat of having added Negan to their ranks.    

Through this conflict and all they’ve lost, a few still hold onto hope, especially Eugene, who believes the mysterious voice he spoke with on the radio may lead to their world getting bigger once again.      

But with the Whisperer War upon them, the collective communities must come together and possibly sacrifice all they have to find a way to silence the Whispers once and for all. Otherwise Alpha will ensure they face a certain doom.     

Later, viewers can catch an all-new episode of Talking Dead hosted by Chris Hardwick at 11:16 p.m. ET/PT, featuring The Walking Dead cast member Thora Birch and Executive Producer Denise Huth.


Jason Segel as Peter
Part one of Dispatches From Elsewhere two-night premiere event begins on Sunday, March 1st at 10:07 p.m. ET/PT on AMC. In the series premiere, “Peter,” Peter (Jason Segel) is stuck in the everyday routine of his mundane life until the day something changes when he meets a group of strangers who all have something in common. Together, they begin an adventure into a world that has been hidden all around them.
Part two of the series premiere continues in its regular time-slot on Monday, March 2nd with an all-new episode at 10:15 p.m. ET/PT. In the second episode, “Simone,” the game continues as Simone (Eve Lindley) and Peter follow the clues and explore the city; the gang discovers that the game runs deeper than they thought and they have to make an important choice.

Created by and starring Jason Segel, the ten-hour series is centered around four ordinary people who feel there’s something missing in their lives, but they can’t quite put their finger on what it is. This diverse foursome is brought together by chance – or perhaps it’s by design – when they stumble onto a puzzle hiding just behind the veil of everyday life. As they begin to accept the mysterious ‘Dispatches from Elsewhere’ challenges, they come to find that the mystery winds deeper than they imagined, and their eyes are opened to a world of possibility and magic. Starring alongside Segel are Academy® and Emmy® Award-winner Sally Field, Academy Award®-nominee Richard E. Grant, multi-GRAMMY Award®-winner André Benjamin and rising star Eve Lindley.

The AMC Studios production is executive produced by Segel, Scott Rudin, showrunner Mark Friedman, Garrett Basch, Eli Bush, Jeff Freilich and Alethea Jones.


Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill and Michael Mando as Nacho Varga

Season 5 of Better Call Saul continues on Monday, March 2nd at 9:00p.m ET/PT on AMC. In this week’s all-new episode, “The Guy For This,” Jimmy’s business enters uncharted territory. Kim’s confidence is tested when she’s faced with a legal problem only she can solve. Nacho navigates increased pressure from Gus. Mike continues to spiral.

In the 10-episode fifth season of Better Call Saul, Jimmy McGill’s (Odenkirk) decision to practice law as “Saul Goodman'' creates unexpected and profound waves of change for those in his orbit.  The series stars Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Jonathan Banks, Michael Mando, Giancarlo Esposito, Patrick Fabian and Tony Dalton, and is executive produced by showrunner Peter Gould, Vince Gilligan, Mark Johnson, Melissa Bernstein and Thomas Schnauz. Better Call Saul garnered a 2018 Peabody Award, and, over four seasons, has earned 32 Emmy® Award nominations, three Golden Globe® Award nominations, two Writers Guild Awards, three Critics’ Choice Awards, two Television Critics Association Awards and three AFI Awards for “TV Programs of the Year,'' among many other Guild nominations.

BBC AMERICA announced today that Laura Neal (Sex Education, Secret Diary of a Call Girl) will be the next lead writer of its critically-acclaimed and award-winning series Killing Eve, from Sid Gentle Films Ltd. The network renewed the series for a fourth season last month, well ahead of season three premiering April 26th on BBC AMERICA and AMC.

“Killing Eve smashes television tropes in every way, both on the screen and behind it,” said Sarah Barnett, President, AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios. “We have a remarkable squad of ferociously smart women writers passing the baton to each other on this show, aligned around a coherent vision but bringing it to life with their own specific sparkle and brilliance. Laura Neal is the latest incredible leader of the pack on Killing Eve.”
“Laura is frighteningly bright, takes no prisoners and can laugh at anything,” said Executive Producer Sally Woodward Gentle. “She’s wicked and wild, emotional and provocative. The stories we are already creating for season four promise a pitch-black riot.”
“After the most incredible year on Killing Eve, I’m so excited the next season is going to be led by such a brilliant talent,” said Season Three Lead Writer and Executive Producer Suzanne Heathcote. “I cannot wait to see what amazing things Laura’s going to do with this world and the characters in it.”
Prior to writing for Killing Eve, Laura Neal has written for Sex Education, Secret Diary of a Call Girl and more. In addition to lead writer, Laura will be an executive producer on season four.
Killing Eve stars Golden Globe®, SAG® and Critics’ Choice Award winner Sandra Oh, Emmy® and BAFTA winner Jodie Comer, Emmy® nominee and BAFTA winner Fiona Shaw and BAFTA nominee Kim Bodnia. Season two had the highest rate of growth of any returning TV drama since the final season of AMC’s Breaking Bad in 2013, doubling its season one audience in Live+SD. Both seasons are Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earned its lead writers Emmy® nominations.
Killing Eve season three premieres Sunday, April 26th, at 10:00pm ET/PT on BBC AMERICA and AMC. Executive producers for the upcoming season are Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Gina Mingacci, Damon Thomas, Jeff Melvoin, Suzanne Heathcote and Sandra Oh.

The new series follows Detective Inspector Rabbit (Matt Berry; Toast of London, What We Do In The Shadows), a hardened booze-hound who’s seen it all, and his hapless, new, by-the-books partner Strauss (Freddie Fox; Cucumber, Banana).
