Masterpiece Rescues The Gold: Both Seasons to Air on PBS
In 2024, streaming services continue to battle it out, with some rising above the rest. One shining example is “The Gold,” a British series that was lost in the shuffle on Paramount+ but has now found a new home at PBS. The show tells the story of the infamous Brinks Mat robbery, where small-time robbers stumbled upon £26 million in gold bars and found themselves in over their heads. After Season 1 became a hit in the UK, Paramount+ dropped the ball on promoting it in the US, leading to PBS stepping in to pick up both seasons for American audiences.
The first season of “The Gold” follows the aftermath of the robbery, with police attempting to track down the criminals and recover the stolen gold. The upcoming second season promises to delve deeper into the story, exploring the fate of the remaining gold and the criminal underworld it created. With a star-studded cast including Hugh Bonneville and Charlotte Spencer, along with top-notch writing and directing talent, “The Gold” is set to captivate audiences when it premieres on PBS stations in 2025.
Fans of crime dramas and gripping stories won’t want to miss “The Gold,” as it offers a fresh take on a real-life heist that made headlines in the 1980s. With PBS securing the rights to both seasons, viewers can look forward to diving into this high-stakes tale of greed, betrayal, and criminal intrigue. So mark your calendars for 2025, when “The Gold” is set to make its debut on PBS and showcase the brilliance of British television at its best.
