The new drama from HBO I Can Destroy handles disturbing problems with a dark touch of humor, and has a lot of episodes to cover their stories. The BBC-HBO co-production has chosen to have a full season of episodes for its debut, in place of a short-season format. Here is what you can expect to continue to see the buzzy new show.
The series currently has a total of 12 episodes scheduled to air over the course of the first season. In an unusual arrangement, the British-American co-production actually airs its episodes in the united states in the first place, unlike the other senses (which more often happens with transatlantic production). HBO aired the series premiere in the evening of the 7th of June, followed by its debut in the uk on the following night, the 8th of June.
This pattern, however, is not expected to hold for the rest of the season. In the united states, HBO is airing a new episode of I Can Destroy every Sunday night, starting with the June 7 premiere and in operation until the end of August. 24. In the uk, however, viewers will get a different type of schedule. Two episodes air each week on BBC One: a Monday, a Tuesday. As a result of this programming difference, British viewers finish the series of more than a month ahead of US the fans; the uk final is scheduled for July 14.
For the moment, the future of the series has not been confirmed beyond the first season. It was not specifically ordered as a limited series or mini-series, but with only a few episodes having aired so far, HBO and BBC One have yet to make a decision about any possible second season or beyond. I Can Destroy star Michaela Coel, who also created and co-directed the series, loosely inspired by a real-life experience. We’ll have to wait and see if the show is renewed, but there are a lot of episodes that come up in the meantime.
