There are plenty of great US dramas you can watch in the UK this week.
We’ve all felt that frustration of finding a US drama you’re excited about, only to realise it is not available in the UK.
The US releases so many must watch shows, and it can feel like they are only for American viewers, but that is not true. Thanks to streaming platforms making deals with UK broadcasters like Sky and ITV, we can now enjoy award winning shows across many different genres.
We may not always get them at the same time as the US, but at least we do not have to wait forever for them to arrive on UK screens. Here are the US dramas available to watch on both UK channels and streaming this week, as well as our top picks.
Our Top Picks across TV and Streaming
The Rookie season 8
John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon as the police officer returns for duty in The Rookie season 8, which premieres on February 17 on Sky Witness.
Back in 2019, the crime procedural began with forty-year-old John joining the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as the department’s oldest rookie and faced scepticism from his younger colleagues.
Now in the eighth season, John “uses his life experience, determination and sense of humour to keep up with rookies 20+ years his junior.” Meanwhile, John and his wife Bailey Nune (Jenna Dewan) join forces with villain Monica Stevens (Bridget Regan) in Prague as they embark on a high-stakes mission to take down terrorists.
Yellowjackets Seasons 1 and 2
The first two seasons of the critically acclaimed survival series Yellowjackets drop on ITVX on February 15, which tells the story of a high school girls’ soccer team who are forced to make brutal decisions when their plane crashes into the remote Canadian wilderness.
The thriller-drama jumps between two timelines: the first follows the girls’ descent into savage clans as they do whatever it takes to survive the harsh conditions. The second timelines sees them grapple with the consequences of their actions as adults in the present day.
Yellowjackets stars Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Ella Purnell, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, and Sophie Thatcher. If you find yourself bingeing both seasons, then check out where you can watch Yellowjackets season 3.
The Night Agent Season 3
Based on Matthew Quirk’s book of the same name, The Night Agent became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows of all time as it follows Peter Sutherland’s (Gabriel Basso) journey to becoming a fully-fledged Night Agent.
Season 3 of the popular spy show picks up after the explosive events of the previous series, where “Night Agent Peter Sutherland is called in to track down a young Treasury Agent who fled to Istanbul with sensitive government intel after killing his boss.
“This kicks off a sequence of events where Peter investigates a dark money network while avoiding its paid assassins, while putting him on a collision course with a relentless journalist. Working together, they uncover buried secrets and old grudges that threaten to bring the government to its knees — and get them both killed in the process.”
