BBC Three: Upcoming Shows and Series in 2022: Owned and operated by the BBC, the British free-to-air television channel BBC Three was first launched in 2003. But it was closed down in 2016 when the TV Channel got replaced by BBC Three streaming channel. Mow after six years of being online-only, BBC Three is returning on February 1, 2022, to linear Television.
With this new-old tradition, you may wonder what BBC Three is going to offer from now? The types of contents remain more or less the same as before. They will continue to broadcast both long and short content, documentaries, comedies and as always will focus on unearthing new talents.
Controller of BBB Three Damian Kavanagh has informed after the channel’s launch, “There will be as much contemporary British drama from BBC Three as ever before.”
Damian also added that their focus has always been to produce what the audience wants to watch. These include comedy that they can watch to be entertained and watch at their convenience and documentaries that will keep them well-informed.
You can watch BBC Three on Freeview, Virgin, Sky, and Freesat. You probably will have to retune the set-top box in order to add BBC Three to the list of channels. Channel EPGs are yet to be announced. You can also watch the BBC Three live on iPlayer.
