Hat Trick International has lined up a North American deal for Bloodlines. The international distributor has licensed U.S. and Canadian rights to the drama series, which hails from executive producer Jed Mercurio (Line of Duty, Bodyguard), to Acorn TV. 
The Sounds will receive its UK premiere on Acorn TV on Thursday September 3rd, when the show's first two episodes will be available to stream. New episodes will continue to be made available to Acorn TV subscribers every Monday, through to the season finale on October 12th. 
Dead Still will receive its UK premiere on Acorn TV on Monday June 29th, it has been announced. 
Acorn TV is coming to the UK. The AMC Networks owned streaming service has announced plans to launch in the UK on Wednesday April 29th. The service will be priced at £4.99 per month or £49.99 annually and will be available via acorn.tv, Roku, Fire TV, Android and Apple mobile and Apple TV. It will also launch shortly on Amazon Channels and Apple TV Channels. Acorn TV original series Queens Of Mystery will get its UK premiere on the service. 
Acorn Media Enterprises - the UK based development division of U.S. streaming service Acorn TV - has teamed up with Irish broadcaster RTÉ to commission Dead Still, a six episode period drama from Deadpan Pictures, Murdoch Mysteries indie Shaftesbury and ZDF Enterprises. 
This is a major coup for Acorn TV. The North American streaming service has secured the exclusive U.S. streaming rights to the upcoming fifth season of BBC One's Line Of Duty in a deal with Kew Media Distribution. They replace Hulu as the U.S. home to Jed Mercurio's thriller.
