Canadian drama Mary Kills People is heading to the UK after British broadcaster Channel 4 acquired the thriller from eOne. The deal is a life of series agreement for the show, which originally launched on Global in Canada in 2017.
The show, which has been sold to more than 110 territories around the world, follows Dr. Mary Harris, played by Caroline Dhavernas, an overworked single mother and ER doctor, who lives a double life helping terminally ill patients with assisted deaths. She has managed to stay under the radar but her double life gets complicated and when her world starts to unravel, Mary realizes she’s going to have to fight dirty if she’s going to stay in the killing game. Jay Ryan stars as Joel, one of Mary’s terminally ill clients, but a mutual attraction blurs the lines of their doctor-patient relationship and Richard Short plays Des, Mary’s trusted partner in crime.

At this point, there are two big threats in the world of Reign: The Darkness and King Henry. One is a pagan creature we’ve yet to really see; the other is the handsome man who sits on the throne by day and partakes in life-or-death sexcapades by night. But what’s in store now that Bash has had his first experience with The Darkness — and Henry has explained his feelings of divine entitlement?
We talked with Alan Van Sprang about Henry’s future, the newest woman in his life, and of course, that one time he humped a woman out of a window.

"Lifetime... television for idiots." - Family Guy
Not quite. While my experiences with the Lifetime channel have been limited, what few products did cross my way were definitely low-grade dramas that failed to impress time and time again. Yes, Lifetime does cater unabashedly to a specific [read: female] audience but with The Capture Of The Green River Killer “original miniseries”, the network takes slow, limp but occasionally confident steps in the right direction. Unfortunately for director Norma Bailey and screenwriter John Pielmeier, whatever tension is injected occasionally into the framework is deflated by the gargantuan and wholly unnecessary running time. At 180 minutes, Green River Killer begs the question of “why?”
A serial killer haunts Seattle – and one man finds himself inextricably drawn into the case, unable to stop crusading for the killer’s identity while hunting for a faceless evil. He gets calls at home, fears for his family’s safety and...

Lifetime Movie Network is revisiting the deadliest string of murders by a serial killer in U.S. history with "Desperate: The Search for the Green River Killer."
The four-hour project, which stars Tom Cavanagh, Amy Davidson, Sharon Lawrence and James Russo, marks LMN's first miniseries.
Based on the book "Chasing the Devil: My Twenty-Year Quest to Capture the Green River Killer," by Sheriff David Reichert, the lead investigator on the Green River case, "Desperate" follows two teen girls trying to escape their rough life at a Seattle-area trailer park who get on a collision course with the infamous Green River Killer.
The book was adapted by writer John Pielmeier (FX's "Sins of the Father"). Norma Bailey (Lifetime's "Eight Days to Live") is set to direct the mini.
The Green River case began in 1982, when the bodies of three women were found in and near the Green River in suburban Seattle. The killer, whose identity remained a mystery for 20 years until a DNA test linked Gary Ridgway to the first victims, targeted runaway teenagers and prostitutes.
