This week Britbox announced that it will be adding several popular British shows. BritBox will also be the exclusive home to new episodes of Red Dwarf.
In addition BritBox will be the US home to the new season of Strictly Come Dancing, the show that led to the American sensation Dancing with the Stars. You will also find the new season of the UK reality show I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. Both programs will be available under BritBox’s “Now” section not long after their original UK airings.
“BritBox is the ultimate destination for fans looking to get their British TV fix,” said BritBox President, Soumya Sriraman. “What really sets our service apart is the ability to give our audience many of the same great shows UK viewers get to see, in many cases a day after they air across the pond. The new programs we are adding range from exclusive, edge-of-your-seat dramas to beloved reality shows, ensuring BritBox has plenty of hours of content that will appeal to all British TV lovers.”
