2015 is fast approaching, but what’s in store to keep our screens flickering and our minds off the drudgery of everyday life?
The Musketeers
Cardinal Richlieu’s off gadding about in space and time, but BBC One’s The Musketeers will still continue for a swashbuckling second season that sees Hustle‘s Marc Warren take over villain duties as the shadowy and mysterious Comte De Rocheforte.
His name sounds like a delicious French cheese. A shadowy and mysterious cheese. Other non-dairy guest stars in the 10 episode run include Colin Salmon and Antonia Thomas.
My Mad Fat Diary
Just renewed, the touching and humorous My Mad Fat Diary will return to E4 for a third season, set in 1998. See? It’s not all just Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother repeats. Though it is mostly those things.
Nowhere Boys
The Australian supernatural teen drama about a parallel world was a hit on CBBC earlier this year and a second season was shot over the summer.
Having returned to their own world at the end of Season 1, what’s next for the boys and scary Phoebe?
Orphan Black
Back for ten new episodes, Season 3 of BBC Three’s clone thriller will deal with the revelation at that there’s also a line of male soldier clones.
Who are they? Who made them? Why do they exist? Tatiana Maslany, Tatiana Maslany, and Tatiana Maslany will attempt to find out.
Peaky Blinders
Brummies will be swaggering, swearing, and shooting on your tellybox when Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders returns next autumn.
The cast isn’t confirmed but hopefully Tom Hardy will return after a blazing performance last season. Mind you, if Sam Neill is back after getting shot in the finale (not a euphemism) AGAIN, then I will eat my peaky cap.
Penny Dreadful
More sexy gothic gore will be petticoating its way onto Sky Atlantic in the first half of 2015, which as we’ve already seen really is turning into the year of gothic ghouls and ghastlies. Can Penny Dreadful still stand out from the crowd?
Writer John Logan has revealed that Vanessa (Eva Green) and Ethan (Josh Hartnett) will face “new challenges and old enemies”.
