D.I. RAY: PBS BROADCAST


Some people are a bit confused about
D.I. RAY, Season 1 (4 episodes total). It has been available on PBS Passport and Prime Video Channel since January.  On July 9, though, it will be broadcast on PBS on 10 p.m. There will be a weekly broadcast after that. This, again, is Season 1. So if you've already seen Season 1, you'll have to wait for Season 2. The good news is that Season 2 has begun filming.

I enjoyed Season 1, and I'm looking forward to Season 2.

Parminder Nagar (“The Blacklist,” “Bend it Like Beckham”) stars in the police procedural series “DI RAY.” It premiered the U.S. 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. 

Parminder Nagar continues in the title role in Series 2.
