Are you ready for a new month of TV crime dramas? BritBox has some excellent offerings in October, both old and new.

It’s time to get your viewing schedule in order. Here are all the TV crime dramas heading to BritBox next month, with the dates they’re all released.

Shakespeare and Hathaway: The Private Investigators Season 3

More from TV Crime Dramas

First up is the dramedy Shakespeare and Hathaway. Jo Joyner and Mark Benton are back as the detective duo ready to solve the local mysteries. They’re an unlikely pair, which brings us plenty of laughter and entertainment along the way.

The third season is released on a weekly basis on Tuesdays. Four of the episodes will drop throughout the month. You’ll see blackmail, murder, kidnapping, and much more. Some of the cases involve a Shakespeare museum full of deadly secrets and a heavy metal star who makes a pact with Satan.

Episodes begin on Tuesday, Oct. 6.

Agatha Christie Tribute

Five Agatha Christie series and movies will head to the streaming service during the month. They all drop on the same day, marking a tribute to the infamous murder mystery author.

The new additions are:

  • Agatha
  • Alphabet Murders
  • Murder at the Gallop
  • Murder Most Foul
  • Murder She Said

The tribute is available on Oct. 9.

My Family Secrets Revealed

This isn’t strictly a TV crime drama, but there are likely some scandals that will show up. There are plenty of mysteries involved, as genealogists look back into the dark pasts of various families. After all, every family has some sort of skeleton in the closet.

Experts will uncover the truth, including heartbreaking losses and forbidden loves. There are 15 episodes. All will be available on Oct. 21.

New Tricks

We end the month with all six seasons of the British cop drama New Tricks. This is on the funnier side, as three retired detectives are recruited back in the force. They join Sandra Pullman, a disgraced detective who has to open unsolved crimes and hope to solve them. Some of these cases go back to the past, with the first involving a murder from 1981.

Can they solve their cases? Will Pullman rectify her past mistakes? How will the retired detectives feel working under a tough woman? There is one 90-minute episode and 46 50-minute episodes.
