8 January 2015 Episode 1 of Suits season 4, exclusive to Dave, will be available via UKTV Play from 9am Friday 9th January Multi-award winning broadcaster UKTV has announced it will offer an exclusive preview of the new series of Daves hit US legal drama, Suits via its on demand TV service, UKTV Play. Available on PC, iOS, YouView and Virgin TV, UKTV Play will premiere the first episode of season four, which promises sharp suits and even sharper tongues, a week before the series launches on UKTVs channel Dave (Thursday 15th January at 10pm). Sky customers will be able to watch the episode via Sky On Demand.
Steve North, General Manager for Dave, commented,
Suits has the charm, wit and intelligence that most series can only dream of, so where else would you find it but Dave? Were celebrating the launch of the fantastic new series by exclusively premiering the first episode on our brand new TV On Demand player, UKTV Play, before the series begins airing on the telly.
Heres a clip..
The highly-anticipated new series kicks off with Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams) no longer working with his former mentor, the super-suave Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). The tables have turned as Mike and Harvey are now client and counsel, and its not long before the two are sworn into battle, this time against each other.
Loyalties are tested and professional relationships are put on the line, with neither Mike nor Harvey willing to back down.
Throughout this series, Mike and Rachels (Meghan Markle) romantic relationship is put under strain when a former love interest of Rachels appears on the scene, while Donna (Sarah Rafferty) tries to keep the peace at Pearson Specter. Meanwhile, Louis (Rick Hoffman) gets dangerously close to discovering that Mike never actually attended, never mind graduated, from Harvard resulting in an explosive mid-season episode, which cannot be missed.
Each episode of the new series will be available for seven day catch-up on UKTV Play after it goes out on TV. UKTV Play gives viewers easy access to a wide catalogue of programmes from UKTVs popular Dave, Really and Yesterday channels, whenever and wherever they are. Hit shows on offer include Storage Hunters UK, Crackanory, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish, Forbidden History, Inquisition, The Sixties, Crime Stories, Most Haunted and Ghost Adventures.
Visit uktvplay.co.uk from 9am on Friday 9th January to watch the premiere.
