The big news at BritBox in September? It's all about Vera. That's not to say we're not thrilled to see some of the other shows this month (like a new season of QI), but it's tough to compete with new Vera episodes – especially after lengthy pandemic-related delays.

Don't have a BritBox account? You can sign up for one HERE on their website, or HERE on Amazon Video. If you have a Roku Smart TV, Roku device, Amazon Fire device, or Chrome, you should have no trouble signing up for a direct subscription on their website.

New British TV Shows on BritBox in September 2021

Vera returns to BritBox for Season 11 in September

Vera, Series 11 – Part 1

Brenda Blethyn returns as DCI Vera Stanhope, leading her talented team of detectives as they solve murders around Northumberland. You can read more about what's to come in Season 11 HERE

Due to the pandemic, the season and filming were delayed and broken up a bit. This first part will consist of 2 120-minute episodes, with one airing each week. More will be announced at a later date.

September 11th Premieres

Last Night of the Proms (a previous year)

Last Night of the Proms 2021

For those not familiar with the BBC Proms, it's an eight-week series of classical concerts held annually in London.

The “Last Night of the Proms” is quite different from the other nights, taking place on the second Saturday in September with widespread broadcast. The concert usually features some lighter classics and then a second half consisting of patriotic British pieces (like Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs” and Thomas Arne's “Rule, Britannia!”).

Last year, the pandemic forced some changes to the way things were done – but this year, they've invited live audiences back to the Royal Albert Hall. The event will be conducted by Sakari Oramo, chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

 

September 14th Premieres

The Museum (2021)

The Museum (Yr Amgueddfa)

This Welsh thriller follows Della Howells (Nia Roberts, The Crown), a married historian who's finally secured the top position at the Museum of Wales. Unfortunately, her charmed life begins on a downward spiral when she has an affair with a mysterious young stranger. Before too long, she finds herself closer than she wants to be to Cardiff's criminal underworld.

 

TBD September Premiere

QI: Series S comes to BritBox in September

QI, Series S

Sandi Toksvig returns to host another season of this “Quite Interesting” panel show where the right answers get points – but so do interesting answers. Clever celebrity guests make this a fast-paced panel show where no one is ever quite sure what to expect when scores are announced.

An exact date wasn't listed with the release, but the UK premiere is on September 9th (BBC Two), so it likely won't be too far behind that.

Catch up on past seasons HERE

 

September 21st Premieres

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021

September 28th Premieres

Lucan

Lucan (2013)

In 1974, the aristocratic Lucan family's nanny was found bludgeoned to death, with Lord Lucan believed to be the prime suspect. Soon after, he vanished without a trace, leading the world to wonder what sort of dark things were going on behind the family's public image. Rory Kinnear (The Imitation Game) stars in this two-part true crime dramatisation.

The Lucan Mystery

This documentary takes a closer look at the mystery of Sandra Rivett's murder and Lord Lucan's subsequent disappearance. By unearthing a crucial new witness, it sheds new light on an almost 50-year-old case.
