Emily Powers, head of BritBox North America, said: “BAFTA has been incredible to work with in the past. Being the home to the largest collection of British entertainment, we only thought it natural to bring the biggest awards show to our BritBox viewers.”
Emma Baehr, BAFTA’s executive director of awards and content, added: “We are delighted to work with BritBox so audiences in North America and South Africa can tune into this year’s ceremony to see who wins a BAFTA, and join us in celebrating the very best in film. With Rebel Wilson hosting in front of an auditorium packed full of famous faces, it promises to be a truly unmissable show.”
British series available on BritBox North America include “Time,” “The Pembrokeshire Murders,” “The Bay,” “Traces,” “Line of Duty,” “Shetland” and “Vera.”optional screen reader
