Meadowlands set for TMN/MC

The Movie Network and Movie Central have picked up the 10-part thriller Meadowlands, adding the U.K.-shot series to their schedules for June. Meadowslands, which is also set to air in the U.S. on Showtime, will make a day-and-date debut on MC on Sunday, June 17 before airing on TMN the following Monday.

The series is a copro between Showtime and Channel 4, on which it is known as Cape Wrath, and comes from executive producer Douglas Rae (Monarch of the Glen, Mrs. Brown) of Ecosse Films, and writers/creators Robert Murphy (Murder City) and Matthew Arlidge (Monarch of the Glen). It stars David Morrissey (State of Play) as the head of a family that is placed in a witness relocation program and moved to a seemingly idyllic town that, in fact, holds many dark secrets.

It will also air on-demand and in high-definition on both channels.
