This March, four of Sky’s hit US dramas, FRINGE, BONES, NCIS: LOS ANGELES and HOUSE, will return to the channel following their mid-Season hiatuses.

The first to make a return is NCIS: LOS ANGELES, with the second half of its first Season on Friday 5 March at 10pm. The series is the first spin off from the popular NCIS, and follows Special Agent G Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and his partner Sam Hanna (LL Cool J,). The series is a drama about the high stakes world of the Office of Special Projects (OSP), a division of NCIS that is charged with apprehending dangerous and elusive criminals that pose a threat to the nation’s security.

In the first episode back, ‘Brimstone’, the team try to track down and protect a Marine’s old unit after he is murdered by an exploding cell phone. They’ll be no backing down – NCIS: LOS ANGELES will continue to be as fast-paced and action-packed as ever.

Nominated in the best drama category at this year’s Golden Globe® Awards and with a best actor nomination for Hugh Laurie too, HOUSE continues its superior sixth Season from Sunday 7 March at 10pm as the team tackle more medical mysteries.

The first episode following this Season’s hiatus, ‘The Down Low’, sees the team treating a drug dealer who refuses to provide the medics with any details of his condition in case they incriminate him. Meanwhile, House and Wilson try to impress their new neighbour. In the next episode of the series, Remorse, House bids to make amends for some past misdemeanours involving a medical school colleague.

The remainder of this Season also sees an episode directed by leading man Hugh Laurie and an episode centred entirely on love interest and hospital administrator Dr Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein). Plus, it has been confirmed that Jennifer Morrison will reprise her role of Dr Cameron having left earlier this Season following her husband Chase’s (Jesse Spencer) revelations about his involvement in the death of African dictator President Dibala.

FRINGE, the brain child of LOST mastermind JJ Abrams and the creative team behind ALIAS and Star Trek, will return for the second half of Season two on Tuesday 9 March at 10pm. Prior to this, Sky1 HD is giving viewers an exclusive look at a previously unaired episode of Season 1 entitled ‘Unearthed’, which will air on Tuesday 2 March at 10pm.

So far in the second Season, Olivia (Anna Torv), Peter (Josh Jackson) and Walter (John Noble) have experienced their fair share of spine-tingling encounters, revealing more details about the Pattern and the existence of a parallel world. In the last episode before the break, fan favourite Leonard Nimoy made another memorable guest appearance as the mysterious William Bell. Appearing to Walter in a flashback, we saw him comforting his old partner about their plan to conceal Walter’s memory so that he can no longer recall how to get to the ‘other side’.

In the new Season two episodes, beginning Tuesday 9 March, Olivia, Peter and Walter will be confronted by more unnerving occurrences, including a lethal virus and a case of people suffocating from the inside out. Plus, more light will be shed on the parallel universe.

And last, but by no means least, is popular procedural drama BONES, back on Sky1 HD and Sky1 on Thursday 11 March at 10pm. Following on from the sister act Christmas special in which Zooey Deschanel guest starred, Season five continues with ‘The X in the Files’, which sees forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) in New Mexico after human remains with extraterrestrial attributes are found. The victim was a local UFO fanatic whose relentless search for alien life has yielded “evidence” even Brennan and Booth find persuasive. Meanwhile Angela (Michaela Conlin) and Jeffersonian intern Wendell come clean about their relationship.

Further in Season five, Bones will also celebrate its 100th episode, directed by David Boreanaz, which sees some old faces returning to the show, as Booth and Brennan flashback to the first case they worked on together.
