British production? I don't think so. Of the two production companies one is Spanish/Portugese the other is Canadian. Fresco Film Services and Reality Distortion Field. Simon Davis Barry (a Canadian) is also the Creator and writer (along with others in the writing room) Director (along with others) and Showrunner (Continuum, Van Helsing).
British production? Not on your life!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
Wrong. Looking through the cast list I only saw one British actor, the rest are Spanish, Dutch and Portugese etc.

I'm guessing it's not on any of the regular channel which is why I've not heard of it

I know the suspense has been killing you so here we go. There are actually two lists; one with Star Trek and one without. I did the "with" one while I was brushing my teeth last night:
1. Babylon 5
2. Stargate SG1
3. Battlestar Galactica
4. Stargate Atlantis
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
6. Game of Thrones
7. Star Trek Voyager
8. Star Trek TNG
9. Star Trek DS9
10. Star Trek Enterprise
or without Star Trek:
1. Babylon 5
2. Stargate SG1
3. Battlestar Galactica
4. Stargate Atlantis
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
6. Game of Thrones
7. The Expanse
8. X-Files
9. 24
10. Lost
The first list was easy to do because I could pick my easy favourites, add Star Trek and ignore everything else. Doing a proper list was more difficult and as with the movie list, I wanted to add so much more. I would love to have put Heroes, Friends and Big Bang Theory on there as welll, not to mention Prison Break.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
The Society has been cancelled. Gutted and I don't know why they couldn't have waited till spring or something to start production given how every other tv series and film has been delayed.

Paul was referring to The Society. Penny Dreadful City of Angels is a spin off series that hasn't come over here yet. Most likely won't having been cancelled after one season.

I really enjoyed it. It is a bit like Under the Dome and it leaves you asking "what would I do in that situation, how would I react and what would my priorities be?" I was looking forward to a second season, especially as it had been renewed. This is the first series I have ever heard of it which has been renewed and then cancelled.
