Re: The Shield Series 6 - Any ETA?

Just read that the UK boxset of season 6 hits on march 24, can't find any news on the US release though. Odd as usually it gets released earlier.

If you'd watched season 6 you wouldn't be under that impression Season 6 was originally intended to be aired as the second half of Season 5 (in the same way that HBO split up the last season of The Sopranos). However, FX decided instead to refer to these ten episodes as "Season 6." Season 7 apparently has 13 episodes and is the final season.

Amazingly tv.com can only review episodes that have been made/aired. I know, I know I'm as suprised as you.

Exclamation Re: The Shield Series 6 - Any ETA?

Hi,

Fear not, folks! A deal for first-run UK rights to Season 7 is being negotiated by Five, and there's a very, very high chance (i.e. 99%) that the show will start to air sometime in early-to-mid 2009 on Five. (Potentially as early as February, but probably not until late-March or early-April, depending on availability of other US shows and episode durations of seasons.)

Although the show will not get prime-time scheduling, it will still go out in a 11pm slot, probably on a Friday or Saturday night, as with previous Seasons, which is probably good enough for most viewers.

Failing that, if Five weren't able to get the rights, then FX will almost certainly want to nab them for their channel, but I wouldn't panic about that bit yet, as I'm sure Five will make a suitable deal, bearing in mind they've bought all the previous six seasons, and this has been confirmed as the final one. It would be very odd, if they didn't stick with it for its final run.
