BBC One has inked a deal with Acorn Media International to acquire both season of Acorn TV's original UK drama series London Kills, from Suspects creator Paul Marquess, for their daytime schedule. London Kills sees London serve as the backdrop for a series of murders – all investigated by an elite murder squad that is being led by Detective Inspector David Bradford.

Channel 5 is adding a new drama series to their line-up.

Additionally, Virgin Media has licensed the SVOD rights and will make the series available as a box-set following Channel 5's linear window.
