KING SHAKA EPIC SERIES
As you remember, Showtime and Antoine Fuqua are preparing KING SHAKA epic TV series which is ready to shoot next month in Africa with Charles Babalola cast in the the title role in the series that follows one

man’s personal journey from stigmatized childhood to warrior king!

Thapelo Mokoena is Gendeyana, a Qwabe leader who grows close to Shaka and Nandi, and Warren Masemola is Magazwa, who provides safe haven to Shaka and Nandi but at a cost. 
  KING SHAKA
tells the story of the Zulu Empire founder Shaka and his unlikely rise to power, uniting multiple tribes across vast stretches of southern Africa in the early 19th century to transform his power into legend, on par with history’s most seminal figures. The outcast son of a Zulu Chief, Shaka is a visionary who is prophesied to become a king like none before him. In ferocious battles that test the body and soul, in alliances that test the bonds of love and friendship, a complex sociological system plays out that renders the human cost front and center, for the victors as well as the vanquished, all in an effort to carve out a semblance of identity, fulfillment and ultimately, survival.

QUEEN OF OZ COMEDY
BBC has announced a number of new series among them is six part QUEEN OF OZ comedy in which Catherine Tate will play
Catherine Tate is writing, producing, starring
Princess Georgiana who is the black sheep of a fictional British Royal Family. A PR disaster, she’s spent her spoilt, party-girl life plastered over the tabloids. On the back of her latest scandal her father, the King, makes the unprecedented move of abdicating his Australian throne in favour of his daughter. It is hoped that giving her some real responsibility will finally be the making of her - and if it isn’t, at least shipping her off keeps her 10,000 miles away from London. Accompanied by a useless entourage, Queen Georgiana of Australia goes kicking and screaming to a country she has zero interest in beyond the Hemsworth Brothers.
 
  MAYFLIES MINI TV SERIES
BBC has also ordered two part mini series MAYFLIES: Everyone has a Tully Dawson (Tony Curran) - the friend who defines your life.

With school over and the locked world of their fathers before them, they rush towards the climax of their youth - a magical weekend in Manchester, the epicentre of everything that inspires them in working-class Britain. There, against the greatest soundtrack ever recorded, a vow is made: to go at life differently. Thirty years on, half a life away, the phone rings. Tully has the worst kind of news, and a request that will test their friendship, love, and loyalty to the limit

FOR KEELEY HAWES SERIES
BBC has released a trailer for new Keeley Hawes series CROSSFIRE which is coming up this Autumn.

A story of survival and resilience, CROSSFIRE is an edge-of-your-seat nail-biting thriller yet also emotional, intimate and relatable. With the unsuspecting holidaymakers and hotel staff forced to make monumental split-second life or death decisions, the consequences will linger long after the final shots are fired.

  1. I wonder if Queen of Oz will be as delightful as The Royals. Sounds similar to each other.

    Crossfire is probably too stressful for me to tune into, though I do love Keeley.

    1. No, Queen of Oz will be a parody comedy, Tate is a hilarious comedian, she is the famous Nan (when she transforms into a foul mouthed British granny). I expect it will be irreverent and borderline offensive LOL

  2. The trailer for Crossfires has me SHOOK!! Holy crap! Seeing the older man cradling his child and running with shots being fired in the background broke me. I don't think I have the stamina to watch this one.. The trailer was quite enough for me.
