Brilliant BBC dramas we can't wait to watch
Including season two of The Night Manager, starring Tom Hiddleston...
Line of Duty, The Split, Everything I Know About Love, Normal People, This is Going to Hurt – it's fair to say we're a nation who love a good TV drama, especially when the BBC are behind the camera. But what about the best new BBC dramas, out now and coming soon?
Well, 2023 was an amazing year for BBC dramas, from the third and final season of BAFTA-winning Happy Valley starring Sarah Lancashire as the iconic Sergeant Catherine Cawood to the second season of Time about life in a British women’s prison, led by The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey, Doctor Who's Jodie Whittaker and The Long Song's Tamara Lawrance. Not to mention the return of political thriller Vigil, starring Suranne Jones.
The good news is that there are plenty of exciting new TV dramas coming to the BBC in 2024, with Michelle Dockery starring in a new drama from Steven Knight, and Rebecca Hall leading an adaptation of Jordan Tannahill's haunting novel The Listeners. There's more to look forward to in the coming months, too, from Keeley Hawes' star-studded drama Miss Austen to new detective thriller The Jetty, starring Jenna Coleman.
Plus, the BBC has announced new eight-part period drama King & Conqueror, with an all-star cast featuring Clémence Poésy and James Norton. And fans of the 2016 smash hit The Night Manager will be pleased to hear that Tom Hiddleston will soon be reprising his role as Jonathan Pine in a second series (see more below).
From true crime thrillers and lavish period dramas to the return of old favourites, we've rounded up the best new dramas coming to the BBC soon. Find out more about each show below, and prepare to never leave your sofa again...
