Topic: The War of The War of The Worlds (2x War of the Worlds confusion)

I just got an alert for "The War of the Worlds got a premiere date - Sun Oct 06, 2019". I searched the BBC EPG and couldn't find it. I then discovered that there are TWO War of The Worlds miniseries coming out! One by Fox/Studio Canal, the other by the BBC.

The 8 part Fox one was slated to start airing first in Belgium on Oct 29. No sign of a date for the BBC 3-parter.

Has anybody got any more information?

Yes, I was confused too.

https://next-episode.net/war-of-the-worlds-2019 will start end of the month.

https://next-episode.net/the-war-of-the-worlds was the one with the false premiere date, I guess one of the site's sources got that info wrong. But it's already fixed, it'll have its premiere in about a week. I'm a bit disappointed to learn that it only has 3 parts/episodes.

Thanks for that!
The BBC listings don't appear to have any suitable "holes" until Saturday 19th Oct at 22:30 on BBC2.

Weird. Now the dates on https://next-episode.net/the-war-of-the-worlds/season-1 have been changed to TBA, so we'll have to wait and see when it's going to happen... smile

Got an alert for last night (Fri 11 Oct), obviously not in the UK - so where has it aired?

BBC Programme Guide now showing a likely "TBA" slot on BBC2 Sunday 27th Oct 8pm.

I have had 2 email alerts for this show this week, and as you say still showing "TBA" here!

Same here - I must admit to not being overly impressed by it so far :-(
