The Snoopy Show, Series Premiere: A spinoff of the beloved 50-year-old classic Peanuts, comes The Snoopy Show, starring our old friend Snoopy and his best bud, Woodstock. Snoopy is a dog like no other. He may seem a happy-dancin’, bone-lovin’, doghouse-sittin’ beagle but he’s much more than that. He’s also Joe Cool, hippest kid in school, an awesome Surfer King and famed arm-wrestler, the Masked Marvel. When he indulges in his fantasies, he can be a World War I Flying Ace battling the Red Baron or an intrepid astronaut landing on the moon. The point is…Snoopy is a beagle with an active imagination full of comic personas. And they’re all on display — both real and fantastic — in a brand-new animated comedy, The Snoopy Show.

The Pembrokeshire Murders, North American Premiere: The true-crime drama limited series stars Luke Evans as Steve Wilkins, a detective chasing a notorious cold case. After being promoted, Wilkins hand-picks a team to tackle a pair of notoriously unsolved murders that have plagued his department for years. As part of the investigation, Wilkins figures out the killer, John Cooper, was actually already in jail for another crime, but was due to be released – forcing him and his team to prove the connection to prevent a murderer from being freed to potentially kill again. Cooper would eventually be dubbed “The Bullseye Killer,” as an appearance on the popular game show “Bullseye” would play a role in his conviction. BritBox also debuted Catching The Game Show Killer, a documentary featuring the real-life account of the infamous crimes from those who helped solve them. The first episode is now streaming, with new episodes airing weekly.
