Pilot TV Podcast #319: Severance, Out There, And American Primeval ft. James Norton & Niamh Algar

The glorious Christmas binge is over, our Best TV Shows Of 2024 have been revealed, our Review Of The Year special episode is out in the wild, and now the Pilot TV Podcast is back back back in your ears and ready to guide you through another year of peak TV! To kick things off in this, our first show of 2025, we have a brace of banging guests as James Norton and Niamh Algar talk to our very own Kay Ribeiro about playing parents who find out their kids were swapped at birth in ITV drama Playing Nice [27:56 — 42:10 approx.]

Back in the podbooth, James Dyer, Boyd Hilton, and Kay reconvene after the festive break for a doozy of an episode in which our first listener question of 2025 has the team talking about the multifaceted, complex world of producers, executive producers, co-producers, and all sorts of producers. Then, over on the news front, new trailers for The Last Of Us Season 2 and Reacher Season 3 headline proceedings, with the gang also taking time to talk Squid Game Season 3's *leaked* release date, Ghost Of Tsushima getting an anime series, and, begrudgingly, the 2025 Golden Globes results. And as if that weren't excitement enough, reviews this week include ITV's Wales-set drama Out There with Martin Clunes, ultra-violent, pre-Old West Netflix show American Primeval, and Season 2 of Apple TV+ juggernaut Severance, which is finally back after a long, long, looooong three year wait. Can it possibly live up to the show’s critically acclaimed debut? Well, give this week's Pilot TV Pod a listen and find out...
