If you can\u2019t take an across-the-pond trip this summer, HBO Max and BritBox may have a solution. Starting Friday, August 1, BritBox will launch a curated collection of television shows on HBO Max for subscribers to enjoy. Presented as \u201cThe Best of British TV,\u201d BritBox will offer a sampling of 15 shows \u2014 from plenty of Agatha Christie adaptations to detective dramas to Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant\u2019s The Office \u2014 the same sort of licensing agreement HBO Max has sealed in the past with the likes of AMC+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This collection comes as an effort to match what HBO Max and BritBox are identifying as a \u201c75 percent increase in U.S. demand\u201d for British television. Americans are dreaming about another country right now, apparently. (We<\/a> wonder<\/a> why<\/a>.) Whatever the reason, HBO Max subscribers will get to watch shows like Idris Elba\u2019s Luther, Blue Lights, David Jonsson\u2019s Agatha Christie\u2019s Murder Is Easy, and more through the end of September.<\/p>\n
