The Cinemax series adapted from J.K. Rowling’s work, C.B. Strike, finally has a debut date so we can all mark our calendars. It may just be the anglophile in me, but the series, which stars Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, looks like just the right mix of mystery and “British television” sensibilities.

The series follows Cormoran “C.B.” Strike (Burke), a war veteran turned private detective, and his protege (Grainger).

Here's the very first teaser trailer for David Brent: Life On The Road,...

When held up to the heady heights of its BAFTA-winning spiritual predecessor Twenty Twelve, the first series of W1A fell short on occasions.

But with a new series opener in which a high-level management power struggle starts simmering alongside the usual japes, hi-jinks and gaffes at Broadcasting House, the BBC's self-flagellating satire is at last hitting its stride.

Hugh Bonneville's still the star of the show as Ian Fletcher, keeping a sharp focus on charter renewal as his contemporaries in the Way Ahead Task Force fall over themselves (almost literally at one point) to get one over on their professional rivals. There's whispers of a new senior post at stake, and everyone seems to have their eye on it.

Following his fall from grace at the end of the last series after a newspaper sting exposing both his handsome salary and close relationship with his former Olympic Deliverance Commission Pa Sally,...

Yep, Danny Boyle is taking the deep dive into television. In case you forgot, last summer brought word that the "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Trainspotting" filmmaker was taking his talents to the small screen for the cop comedy/drama "Babylon," and now as we enter the New Year, the first look at the cast has arrived. Brit Marling and James Nesbitt are the bigger names in the new show, and they lead an extensive ensemble that includes Paterson Joseph, Bertie Carvel, Ella Smith, Martin Trenaman, Jim Howick, Cavan Clerkin, Jill Halfpenny, Adam Deacon, Jonny Sweet, Nick Blood, Stuart Martin, Andrew Brooke and Daniel Kaluuya. Phew! And that team will tackle a promising premise from "Peep Show" writers Sam Bains and Jesse Armstrong, that will follow an American new-media expert who's hired to transform the PR of the London police department. Between "Brooklyn Nine Nine" and this, are we looking at the renaissance of cop comedies?...

As Danny Boyle now makes his way to television, helming the cop show "Babylon" for Channel 4 in the U.K., it's not a surprise that some very strong talent is following him to the small screen. No matter what the format, Boyle is one whom people are eager to work with. And so, Brit Marling and James Nesbitt are leading the ensemble cast for "Babylon" that includes Paterson Joseph, Jill Halfpenny, Adam Deacon, Daniel Kaluuya, Jonny Sweet, Andrew Brooke and Bertie Carvel. Penned by "Peep Show" writers Sam Bains and Jesse Armstrong, the comedy/drama will follow an American new-media expert who's hired to transform the PR of the London police department. The premise will allow for a look at all levels of police work, in a show that is being described as “razor-sharp and visually audacious.” And things are moving quickly with shooting to get underway this fall,...

Back in late August came word that "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle was set to direct the pilot episode of UK Channel 4's new comedy drama series "Babylon".

All that was known at the time was that it is set in the world of modern policing, and is being penned by BAFTA winners Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong ("Fresh Meat," "Four Lions").

Now, further details have been revealed about the show, which will be a six-part series set around London and shot documentary-style.

James Nesbitt ("Jekyll," "The Hobbit") plays police chief constable Richard Miller who hires American new media expert Liz Garvey (Brit Marling) to revamp the public image of the British police.

Garvey must revolutionise a PR department struggling to keep up in the modern age of rolling news, smart phones and an information-hungry public.

The film follows those efforts across all levels of the force. Daniel Kaluuya...

Danny Boyle is keeping busy in TV these days. In the U.S., he’s teamed with FX and his Slumdog Millionaire writer and producer Simon Beaufoy and Christian Colson for 10-part WWII miniseries Telemark. Closer to home, he’s readying a pilot for Channel 4‘s straight-to-series police comedy/drama Babylon. BAFTA winners Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong are scripting the pilot which Boyle will direct. Brit Marling (Another Earth, Arbitrage) has now been cast in the lead as Liz Garvey, a new-media savvy American who’s parachuted in to revolutionize the PR department of London’s police force. James Nesbitt (The Hobbit) plays Chief Constable Richard Miller. Also in the ensemble cast are Paterson Joseph (Peep Show), Jill Halfpenny (EastEnders), Adam Deacon (Kidulthood), Daniel Kaluuya, Jonny Sweet, Andrew Brooke and Bertie Carvel. Described as “razor-sharp and visually audacious,” Babylon takes a wry look at the people and politics...

James Nesbitt will lead the cast of Babylon, Danny Boyle's new project for Channel 4.
