Any word if it's to be shown in America, ex. on PBS' 'Masterpiece'?


Or BBC America?

I would like to know this as well.

It is on Netflix streaming now!

I haven't come across any info that it will be shown on US tv. I can tell you that PBS was not a co-producer or funding partner for this project, as they are with nearly all of the Masterpiece and Mystery offerings of late.

I think PBS Masterpiece has so many UK imports in the hopper right now that it's unlikely they would find space for it in their schedule.

BBCA is in a viable position right now to show this type of programming, given that they have gone back to showing costume drama again, with Copper and The Musketeers, for example. (But both of those are action/adventure types stories while Jamaica Inn is decidedly not.)

IMPO, I think your best bet will be to watch for it on netflix. The DVD is already out in the UK and might show up here, too.

Thank you, random. Netflix would be ideal.

Netflix would be ideal. I loved the book but didn't love the old Hitchcock film version, so I'd be curious to see what this is like. I also want so badly to be able to see "The Thirteenth Tale", as it's one of my favorite books, but I haven't seen that's it's available in the U.S. or online. :(

Some PBS outlets have bought it, and will broadcast it later winter/early spring 2016.
