LOCH NESS (Acorn TV Original Series, U.S. Only, Coinciding with ITV premiere)

The beautiful, haunting shores of Scotland’s most iconic loch is the stunning backdrop for the new six-part crime drama.

Within the tightly knit town, a sense of horror begins to dawn as the villagers realize that there is more than one kind of monster in their midst. Also starring Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Downton Abbey).

Full of twists and turns, the series offers an “astutely realized mystery” (The Australian). In Series 3, Janet’s investigation into the mysterious death of a young cricketer uncovers a web of lies and corruption – where the public face of professional sport meets the shadowy underbelly of drugs, match fixing, kickbacks and murder.

THE GOOD KARMA HOSPITAL (U.S. Only)

This seductive medical drama is set in a coastal town in tropical South India and tells the story of junior doctor Ruby Walker (Amrita Acharia, Game of Thrones), who arrives in India looking for a job and a distraction from her heartbreak. She anticipates the sunshine, the palm trees and picture-perfect beaches. She’s even prepared for the sacred cows, the tuk-tuks and the Delhi-belly that everyone warned her about. What she doesn’t expect are the realities of work, life and even love at an under-resourced and over-worked cottage hospital. The series co-stars Amanda Redman (New Tricks) and Neil Morrissey (Striking Out, The Night Manager).

Throughout the summer, Acorn TV will also add many more classic and contemporary international dramas, mysteries, comedies, and documentaries.
