Early Season Preview Part 1

As the blog prepares to take a break for a couple of weeks, I thought I would leave you with a dozen previews of American shows to come on British television.

First up is Californication. This is the new David Duchovny comedy that also stars Natasha McElhone. It airs on Showtime and as you will see from the trailer its very much in cable territory. It looks a lot like the old Dream On series than HBO made. Stephen Hopkins directed the pilot. It starts in the US in August, expect it on Channel Five in the autumn.



Channel Five will also have the second season of Big Love which has just started airing on HBO. I thought the first run just got better and better and I hear season two is great



Finally here's a first look at the Sarah Connor Chronicles. It looks expensive thats for sure, but is there enough here to sustain a long running series? The FOX show has been bought by the new Virgin Media 1 network but presumably they could also show it on Bravo.



Next week we will look at new shows coming on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and SKY.
