Virgin Media unveils its latest digital TV importsMonday, November 23rd 2009 Digital TV provider Virgin Media is to showcase two new US shows from the start of next year. Fresh from launching new on-demand content on its digital TV platform, Virgin Media has revealed it is to showcase two US series from the start of next year.
Trauma and Warehouse 13 will be shown on the company's Virgin 1 channel, thanks to a new deal with NBC. So, what do fans of US TV have to look forward to from the programmes?
Created by producers behind series such as Monk, Dresden Files and Rescue Me, Warehouse 13 stars Saul Rubinek and Eddie McClintock.
Shown on the Syfy channel, the series focuses on the relationship between two chalk-and-cheese agents as they look to get their hands on supernatural items to take back to a government storage facility.
In contrast, Trauma has been created by producers behind hit shows including Friday Night Lights, The West Wing and The Kingdom.
Cliff Curtis, Derek Luke and Anastasia Griffith star in the medical drama, which sees paramedics work to save the lives of people across the San Francisco area.
