Noughts + Crosses
Over ten years after Malorie Blackman released her bestselling novel Noughts + Crosses, BBC are turning the story into a hotly-anticipated dystopian drama. The coming-of-age story follows Sephy and Callum, who are divided by their colour but united by love. Starring Stormzy (yes, really!), Peaky Blinders Jack Rowan and Masali Baduza, we’re predicting this will be a major hit.

It was the most talked about show of 2019, and now fans can eagerly await the third instalment of Succession. Likely to centre on Roman’s rise to successor, the drama is set to be juicier than ever.
Normal People
Sally Rooney’s Normal People was the book of 2019, and now BBC are turning it into a gripping 12-part TV series. The story chronicles the will-they, won't-they relationship between high school friends Marianne and Connell from high school to university and adulthood.
Liar S2
It may feel like you’ve been waiting an eternity for season 2 of Liar, but the wait is nearly over. Returning to ITV later this year, we’re practically on the edge of our toes waiting to find out if Laura killed rapist Andrew Earlham. The tease!
This Is Going To Hurt
Potentially one of the anticipated series of 2020, This Is Going To Hurt is the eight-part BBC adaptation of Adam Kay’s bestselling memoir about his experience working as a junior doctor for the NHS. As Adam stated, expect to “laugh, cry and vomit.”
Belgravia
Downton Abbey’s creator Julian Fellowes is back with brand new period drama Belgravia. Starring Alice Eve, Tamsin Greig, Harriet Walter and Philip Glenister, the six-part series set in 19th century London society is on track to be one of the most talked about series of 2019.
Riviera S3
Julia Stiles and her co-stars will once again descend on the Cote D’Azur for another instalment of lies, deception and serious wardrobe envy in Riviera season 3. This time, Julia will act as executive producer on the third series as well as resuming her role of the formidable Georgina Clios.
The Luminaries
BBC Two’s six-part drama series is a 19th century tale of adventure and mystery set on the Wild West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Set during the 1860s gold rush, The Luminaries is a mind-blowing story about men and women who travelled across the world to make their fortune.
