It will debut within 36 hours of its BBC One broadcast.

On November 9, Acorn TV will air the final episode of the eighth season of Doc Martin. The finale will feature guest star Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, Avatar), who had a memorable role as a U.S. tourist in season seven. November 6 will see the exclusive U.S. premiere of the eight-part foreign-language drama series Rebecka Martinsson, based on Åsa Larsson’s celebrated crime novels. On November 23, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S., the popular Aussie period drama A Place to Call Home will return to Acorn TV for season five. The show is Acorn TV’s number one streamed series of all time.

Throughout November, Acorn TV will add season three of the thriller Line of Duty, the British miniseries Alibi, the documentary Poirot: Super Sleuth, more episodes of Trial & Retribution, and seasons one through three of the Aussie crime drama East West 101.
