Almost Human to air on Watch in the UK

So as I mentioned in a previous post (2nd January 2014) Almost Human had not been picked up by a UK broadcaster... until now..

US sci-fi drama Almost Human has found a UK home.

The Fox series - from JJ Abrams and Fringe showrunner Joel Wyman - has been acquired by Watch.

The UKTV channel will air Almost Human later in 2014.

The 13-part first season stars Karl Urban as John Kennex, a tech-phobic detective in the year 2048.

Kennex must learn to adapt when he is partnered with an eccentric android partner - Michael Ealy's Dorian.

Watch previously acquired another US sci-fi thriller from JJ Abrams. Believe - a collaboration with Alfonso Cuarón - will debut on the channel tonight (March 27) at 9pm.

UKTV's director of programme acquisitions Catherine Mackin said: "Almost Human is a multilayered, gripping drama and it perfectly complements supernatural drama Believe."

Almost Human wrapped its first season earlier this month on Fox in the US.
