Is Mother Nature angry, is ruined climate fighting back or are some ancient alien creatures waking up hungry and angry after centuries of sleep?

 

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE NEW SEASON

 Following the devastating tsunami that destroyed the Kinloch Bravo, season two sees the surviving crew airlifted by helicopters to a new secret offshore facility called the Stac, nestled deep in the extraordinary and deadly landscapes of the Arctic Circle. Here, the trapped crew must deal with the emotional and physical fallout of the devastating tsunami that destroyed the Bravo, and contend with swirling conspiracies, corporate conflicts, and new threats from the dark depths of the world’s ocean.

  OUTRAGEOUS TV DRAMA  

ABOUT THE MITFORD SISTERS

Although their life has been already adapted a couple of times by BBC, famous Mitford sisters will get a new drama at UKTV's channel Drama. The six part series OUTRAGEOUS, their first ever, will depict the British socialite sisters, whose antics in the 1930s made their family one of the most well known in the UK. Several infamously supported fascism and the Nazis, though two became staunch opponents of the ideology. Two became well known authors. It will be a story of family betrayals, public scandal, political extremism, personal heartache and even imprisonment.

Adrien Brody is leading Chapelwaite

Let us face it, people, ever since I've been spying I don't remember that we've ever had such a nasty and bland summer as this one was, even the previous one which hit us in the middle of a deadly disease outbreak had tons of great series and this one has next to none: beside North Water that is airing on AMC and Nine Perfect Strangers that starts at the end of the month, the only other new show we can look forward to is period set horror series CHAPELWAITE which will arrive August 22nd based on Stephen King's Jerusalem's Lot. It has been shot, with certain difficulties, last summer, and is finally getting to the small screens.
