USA broadcast?

Will this, or the accompanying Mark Gatiss documentary on M. R. James' life be broadcast in the USA? I've checked the listings for BBC America but have drawn a blank. Has any network picked up the rights to show it, (broadcast or streaming such as Netflix/Hulu/Amazon, etc.?) I see both are due to be broadcast on Christmas Day in the UK on BBC2, but I'd expect the BBC iPlayer will be limited to UK users only.

I'm a huge fan of both M. R. James' stories and Mark Gatiss, and am really looking forward to seeing the adaptation of "The Tractate Middoth" and the James documentary.

Thanks.

BBC America and PBS will only play things that they think will sell to a US market. I'm not sure if they'd consider this a seller or not. I'd love for someone to show it, but they have to have some kind of proof that it's going to be profitable for them and that say on BBC America that sponsors will pay to air commercials during it.

Would love to see this. Huge fan of Mr. Castle and Ms. Bron. I think many Americans would be interested. Hopefully soon.
