To entertain viewers all through summer, Star World Premiere HD has lined up some of the most awaited television premieres this year, with an all-encompassing mix of genres.
The channel will premiere 'Bosch Season 2' on March 19. Season 1 of the show revolved around Harry Bosch (played by Titus Welliver), a detective working with the Los Angeles Police Department. Bosch is accused of murdering a serial killer, while involved in a murder investigation. Now, the seamlessly executed Season 2 of 'Bosch' sees the idiosyncratic and jazz-loving LAPD detective back in the field and deeply engrossed in a new case, full of fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, desert safe houses, rogue cops, North Vegas brothels, domestic tension and some very dark truths.
Another compelling thriller, 'Colony', is a Sci-Fi series, that explores the human divisions that form after an extra-terrestrial invasion. The show will premiere on April 18 and revolve around an extra-terrestrial invaded L.A., where everything is in chaos and the city's residents are either joining forces with the other-worldly or rebelling against it and bearing the consequences. Here, steps in a former FBI agent, Will Bowman, (played by Josh Holloway) and his wife, Katie, (played by Sarah Wayne Callies), who risk their lives to protect their family and get one of their three children back after losing him to the invasion.
The year's most awaited television series and the one that broke the internet with its first promo –'Game of Thrones Season 6', also makes its way to Star World Premiere HD. The showwill premiere on the channel right after its US telecast on April 26. Is Jon Snow alive? Will Cersei and Jaime come together again? What is Daenerys' fate? Will we finally learn whose son Jon Snow is?
'The Americans Season 4' is set at the height of the Cold War. The show, that stars popular actors, Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys and AnnetMahendru, will start from where Season 3 ended with Elizabeth (Keri) and Phillip's (Rhys) daughter confessing to the pastor that her parents were in fact, Russian spies. The season that will also cover real-life events, such as Reagan's Star Wars speech and the TV movie, 'The Day After', will premiere this April on the channel.
Comedy shows, 'Silicon Valley' and 'Veep' follow suit. Both shows will premiere on Star World Premiere HD on April 27th.'Veep' is an American political satire comedy series, shot in a cinéma-vérité style (a style of documentary filmmaking that combines improvisation with the use of the camera to unveil truth or highlight subjects hidden behind crude reality). It stars popular actor, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (of Seinfeld fame) as Selina Meyer, the Vice President of the United States (or 'VEEP') and follows her struggles as she tries to stay politically relevant.
Silicon Valley stars Thomas Middleditch, popular actor-comedian T.J. Miller ('Deadpool', 'Big Hero 6', 'Transformers: Age of Extinction', 'How to Train Your Dragon', etc.), KumailNanjiani, Zach Woods, Martin Starr and Amanda Crew, among others. The comedy series is set amidst the high-tech world of the Silicon Valley in the USA and revolves around the struggles of six programmers, who are trying to make a mark in the big, bad world of programming.
After a power-packed first quarter of the year with shows like 'The X-Files: Event Series' - an iconic show revived at its best, 'The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story', a re-telling of a crime story that brought America to a stand-still and John Travolta back to television alongside David Schwimmer, Star World Premiere HD willbring on more new shows this summer.
