We’ve all faced the disappointment of finding a US drama we really want to watch, only for it not to be available in the UK.
The US is constantly creating must-see entertainment content and you might be thinking that these programs are only available to US audiences — but that’s not the case.
Thanks to these US streaming platforms securing deals with UK broadcasters like Sky and ITV, we can now watch award-winning content from a variety of genres. Although the UK isn’t guaranteed the same release date as those across the pond, it saves you from waiting an age until they reach UK screens.
Here are the US dramas available to watch on both UK channels and streaming this week, as well as our top picks.
Our top picks across TV and streaming
Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 5
The final season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan hits MGM+ on 13 June, with Mekai Curtis and Patina Miller reprising their roles as Kanan Stark and Raquel “Raq” Thomas one last time in the prequel Power series.
The hit crime drama explores a teenage Kanan Stark (played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson in the original series) and his entry into the drug business with his mother, Raquel Thomas.
In the fifth installment of the Power franchise: “Kanan’s (Mekai Curtis) true ruthlessness takes shape. He knows exactly who he is and who he must become to defeat his enemies. Kanan solidifies his place in the Queens drug business alongside Southside legend Breeze (Shameik Moore), and their alliance sets the stage for a reckoning that will ripple through every player in this dangerous game.
“Whether it’s the Thomas family facing the collapse of their reign, Unique (Joey Bada$$) fighting to preserve his legacy or the Mafia maneuvering behind the scenes, many sacrifices will be made. However, nothing will stand in the way of Kanan’s pursuit of power. After all, this isn’t the end for Kanan Stark. It’s just the beginning.”
Fancy watching the previous season? Here’s how to watch Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 4 online and from anywhere.
Sugar season 2
Apple TV is giving us a sweet treat with the second season of neo-noir detective drama Sugar. This time, LA private detective John Sugar (Colin Farrell) tackles a new case — tracking the troubled older brother of a local boxer as he continues to search for his missing sister. But when the investigation turns into a sinister conspiracy, how far will he go to do what’s right?
If you want a reminder of what happened in the previous series, take a look at our episode recaps in our Sugar season 1 guide, as well as our ending explained which reveals all about the huge plot twist.
The Rookie season 8
It’s John Nolan’s (Nathan Fillion) last shift as The Rookie season 8 comes to an end on 16 June. The final episode of the police procedural sees the cops launch a high-stakes search to take down a criminal. Meanwhile other members of the team test their friendships and leaderships, while Nolan tries to balance duty and family.
This won’t be the last you see of Nolan in action though, as the acclaimed ABC show has been renewed for season 9 and is set to premiere in 2027.
