To help you keep track, we put together a list each month to look at those shows which:

• Premiered in the UK or Ireland within the last year or two
• Are premiering (in the US) in November 2024

Below, we offer photos, premiere dates, and descriptions to help you sort out your viewing plans for the coming weeks.

Inspector Ellis (2024)

DCI Ellis specialises in failing investigations. When a local force can't solve something, she comes in – often to great resistance. Sharon D. Clarke stars in the titular role. Watch it HERE. 

Episodes will air as follows:

• November 4th, Episode 1: “Hanmore” – When the body of 18-year-old Rowan Edwards is found in a car, partly submerged in a lake, DCI Ellis is called in by Assistant Chief Constable (ACC) Alison Leighton to take over this investigation and get results fast. Rowan’s mother was a Member of Parliament, so the press is all over it, and they need an arrest. Rowan’s girlfriend, Maggie, who was with him, has not been seen since. The current Senior Investigating Officer (SIO), Belmont, is less than impressed to have been shunted off the case, while DS Chet Harper, a keen detective in his early 30s, is assigned to help Inspector Ellis. 
• November 11th, Episode 2: “Callorwell” – Inspector Ellis (Sharon D Clarke, Showtrial, Lost Boys & Fairies, Rocketman), and DS Harper (Andrew Gower, The Winter King, Carnival Row, Outlander), arrive in Callorwell to investigate the disappearance of Jenny Lawler, a local detective. ACC Leighton needs Inspector Ellis on this case as the DCI of the station was recently suspended from duty after Jenny filed a sexual harassment claim against him. Jenny’s colleagues do not seem particularly worried about her disappearance, believing she left of her own free will – but Inspector Ellis smells that something is rotten within this force. And she is proven right when Jenny is found, murdered… while she was 14 weeks pregnant. 
• November 18th, Episode 3: “Brindleton” (FINALE) – Following the report of two missing honeymooners, Inspector Ellis and DS Harper are called to Brindleton to assist the overwhelmed local force. The disappearance has generated a huge response from the press and the public, but when a severed hand is found in the honeymooners’ camper van – it is clear that the pair have met with foul play.

In present-day Edinburgh, Rebus is at a crossroads. Demoted and struggling to keep up with a world driven by technology, he’s caught in a toxic affair with the wife of his disabled former partner and sidelined in his daughter’s life by her wealthy stepfather. He questions his place as a father and a cop, wondering if the law has any meaning left in a society divided by politics and hardship—or if it’s time to follow his own rules.

A brutal daylight attack launches Rebus and his new partner into a gang war, intensified when his brother steals from dangerous dealers to support his family. Rebus finds himself torn between his duty to enforce the law and his desire to protect his brother.
