TV News: Destroy, Night, Honour, Dead

I May Destroy You
HBO has premiered the teaser for the new half-hour series “I May Destroy You” which has been written, executive produced and stars BAFTA Award winner Michaela Coel. The series premieres in June.

Following triumph from a piece of writing that garnered internet acclaim, the non-committal and easily distracted Arabella Essiuedu (Coel) finds herself feted as the ‘voice of her generation’.

After being sexually assaulted in a nightclub, her life changes irreversibly she is forced to reassess everything and begin a journey of self-discovery.

Into the Night
Netflix has premiered the trailer for its new Belgian apocalyptic sci-fi original series “Into the Night”. In the series, a sudden solar event causes the sun to inexplicably start killing everything in its path. The show kicks off on May 1st.

The story centers around the ‘lucky’ passengers and crew of an overnight flight out of Brussels, as they attempt to fly west – into the safety of the dark night. The seemingly ordinary travelers share but one thing: A desire to survive the sun – and each other – by any means necessary.

Honour
The BritBox streaming service has boarded the Keeley Hawes-fronted British crime drama “Honour” which will launch with a two-parter penned by Gwyneth Hughes and produced by ITV. Filmed last year, Hawes plays the real-life Inspector Caroline Goode who brought five killers to justice in the true story of Banaz Mahmod, a young Londoner murdered by her own family for falling in love with the wrong man.
