What Happened
BritBox has secured the rights to the upcoming psychological thriller series Gone, created by George Kay, known for his work on Hijack and Lupin. The series stars David Morrissey and Eve Myles and is set to premiere in the U.K. on ITV this spring. The deal was announced during the London TV Screenings week, highlighting BritBox’s commitment to expanding its content offerings.
Why It Matters
Gone centers on the mysterious disappearance of Sarah Polly, with her husband, played by Morrissey, becoming the prime suspect. The series promises to explore themes of trauma and trust, making it a significant addition to BritBox’s lineup of British dramas. This acquisition reflects BritBox’s strategy to enhance its appeal in the U.S. and Canada, where it competes with other streaming services.
What’s Next
As part of its expansion, BritBox is also offering a promotional subscription rate of $82.50 for the first year, a 25% discount from the regular price of $109.99. This offer is available for new subscribers, either independently or as an add-on through Prime Video. Viewers can expect to see Gone alongside other popular British series, further solidifying BritBox’s position in the streaming market.
