DI RAY, Season 1, on PBS


Just a heads up that DI RAY, Season 1, is now available on
PBS Passport and Prime Video Channel; It will be available for PBS broadcast in July, so get a head start!

Parminder Nagar (“The Blacklist,” “Bend it Like Beckham”) stars in the police procedural series “DI RAY.” It premiered last weekend on the PBS app for viewers with PBS Passport, an added member benefit which provides extended access to a digital, on-demand library of PBS programs, and the PBS MASTERPIECE Prime Video Channel.

D.I. Rachita Ray is a British Asian policewoman new to homicide. In the first series, she is assigned to investigate the suspected honor killing of a young Muslim man.

DI Ray debuted on ITV in the UK in May 2022. Created and written by Maya Sondhi (Line of Duty), the series stars Parminder Nagra in the title role working for a fictitious Birmingham-based police force. Nagra's co-stars include Gemma Whelan (Killing Eve) and Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica) as her superiors. All four episodes arrived as a PBS Passport binge, ahead of broadcast in July

And, good news, there will be a Series 2, with Parminder Nagar continuing in the title role.

Can't get it to play on PBS- just keeps shutting down.

Robin, are you watching it on the PBS app on your Roku, AppleTV, or phone/iPad? You can always call your local PBS station for tech support. Yes, phone them.. they usually answer and can assist.
