Even more Broadchurch
This week it’s been announced the second series of Broadchurch will begin on ITV on January 5.
I was absolutely hooked by the first series, I thought it was a brilliant drama, even if we did all guess whodunnit!
Well now there’s more good news for fans as a series of digital short stories tied into each episode of the new series are being released.
Each e-book will be released at midnight following the Monday night episode and will include characters featured in that night’s episode, delving deeper into their lives.
I think this is a brilliant idea!
Clooney heads to Hollywood
George Clooney is working on a new TV series set at a Hollywood film studio during the 1990s.
Apparently it’s a dark comedy looking at the movie business through the eyes of the studio bosses running the studio.
At the moment Clooney is in talks with various TV networks but I would expect them to jump at the chance to work with the Oscar winner.
Clooney will be producing the show but we don’t know at this stage if he’ll appear in the series.
