Hailed Like a gift from the gods (The New York Times) and A triumph from start to finish (The Wall Street Journal), FOYLES WAR returns this September with three new feature length mysteries available on television, streaming, and home video. One of PBSs most popular and highly acclaimed programs, Foyles War premieres its new season on MASTERPIECE Mystery! on PBS on Sept. 15, 22, and 29.
RLJ Entertainments proprietary digital channel Acorn TV, the first British TV focused streaming service in North America at http://www.Acorn.TV, will offer each new episode the day after it airs on PBS, as well as all previous episodes for catch-up viewing. Additionally, the new episodes debut on DVD and, for the first time, Blu-ray from Acorn on Sept. 24; featuring the complete U.K. broadcast edition and nearly two hours of bonus features, which includes a recap of Sets 1-6; four behind-the-scenes featurettes (86 min.); introductions by writer & creator Anthony Horowitz (15 min.), and more ($49.99 each, AcornOnline.com ). The trailer for the new season is available at youtube.com/AcornMediaUS. Acorn, an RLJ Entertainment, Inc. brand (Nasdaq:RLJE), is already in development on another season as well.
As the series returns, World War II is over, but the Cold War simmers in 1946 London. DCS Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) has retired from police work when Britains secret intelligence service compels him to join its ranks. Reunited with his former colleague, newlywed Sam Wainwright (Honeysuckle Weeks), Foyle faces new -but no less deadly--threats in the world of spies and counterintelligence.
RLJ Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Miguel Penella said, Since acquiring Foyles War in Nov. 2010, we have been working closely with its creators to develop these new episodes. In these three gripping mysteries, Christopher Foyle makes a natural transition from policing during World War II to intelligence gathering during the Cold War. Were thrilled to offer these exciting new episodes across several platforms (broadcast, digital, and home video), so consumers can watch them whenever and however they like.
Combining uncompromising historical accuracy with compelling, character-driven murder mysteries, this enormously popular, award-winning British series has won critical acclaim and undying viewer loyalty since its premiere on ITV in 2002 and PBS in 2003. Set 7 guest stars include Ellie Haddington (Life Begins), Tim McMullan (The Woman in Black), Jeremy Swift (Oliver Twist), Rupert Vansittart (Holy Flying Circus), and Daniel Weyman (Great Expectations) as Sams husband. Foyles War was created by Anthony Horowitz, and the executive producer is Jill Green.
The Mysteries:
The Eternity Ring--Returning from America, Foyle gets drawn into an MI5 investigation of a Russian spy ring in which Sam, his former driver, has been implicated.
The Cage--Foyles inquiry into the deaths of several Russian defectors leads him to a mysterious military facility.
Sunflower--Foyle is charged with looking into assassination attempts against an ex-Nazi defector under MI5s protection.
