BBC One greenlights Aberdeen-set drama ‘Granite Harbour’

It’s all change for BBC Scotland’s River City as the acclaimed drama moves to a new multi-series format after the summer.

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International Hulu has signed up to be the U.S. partner on the latest female-led comedy from “Fleabag” producer Two Brothers. Comedy series “Dinosaur” was originally commissioned in 2021 by BBC Three through BBC Scotland. Distributor All3Media International has now sold the show into Hulu in the U.S., and the streamer will co-commission a new season alongside the BBC. In “Dinosaur” (6 x 30’), Nina (Ashley Storrie), an autistic woman in her thirties, adores her life living with her sister and best friend Evie. But when Evie rushes into an engagement after only six weeks and makes Nina her maid of honor, Nina is floored. Forced to reconcile with her sister’s impulsive decision, Nina grapples with what this new challenge means, leading to a surprising journey of self-discovery.
