If you can’t take an across-the-pond trip this summer, HBO Max and BritBox may have a solution. Starting Friday, August 1, BritBox will launch a curated collection of television shows on HBO Max for subscribers to enjoy. Presented as “The Best of British TV,” BritBox will offer a sampling of 15 shows — from plenty of Agatha Christie adaptations to detective dramas to Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s The Office — the same sort of licensing agreement HBO Max has sealed in the past with the likes of AMC+.
This collection comes as an effort to match what HBO Max and BritBox are identifying as a “75 percent increase in U.S. demand” for British television. Americans are dreaming about another country right now, apparently. (We wonder why.) Whatever the reason, HBO Max subscribers will get to watch shows like Idris Elba’s Luther, Blue Lights, David Jonsson’s Agatha Christie’s Murder Is Easy, and more through the end of September.
