Showtime Acquires British Dramas 'The Guest' and 'Coldwater'

Showtime, a TV network, is buying British TV shows to air in the U.S. They've acquired two new series, 'The Guest' and 'Coldwater,' from ITV Studios.

'The Guest' is a thriller about two friends and will start streaming in October.

'Coldwater,' starring Andrew Lincoln, is about a man in a strange situation and will come out in early 2026.

This move shows a change, as some U.S. networks have been less interested in British shows recently.

It indicates Showtime's growing interest in British content.
