Phew! Sorry it’s been a while but here we are at last, back with a bumper update of what’s on now and what’s coming later to E4.

If you’re missing the filthy rich teens of US drama 90210 fear not as we’re providing the perfect solution with new series Privileged. Set in Florida, it’s got bratty twin sisters, secret love and sibling rivalry galore! Privileged started on 19th July and continues every Sunday at 7pm, but if you've yet to see it - fear not! Catch up in your own sweet time on 4OD.

Twin sister act

If you like your countryside as beautiful as your cast then be sure to check out our other new import, Heartland (this time from Canada). Aside from the usual sibling rivalry we just can’t get enough of, Heartland mixes it up by throwing in cowboy hats and horse whisperers. The series kicked off earlier this month but you can give it a whirl using the marvellous creation that is 4OD.


Step into The Loop
 
Ever thought that airports could be amusing? No? Well TRY HARDER and put American sitcom The Loop to the funny test, Thursdays at 10.30pm. The show stars Bret Harrison (who you may recognise as the devil’s bounty hunter, Sam, from our very own Reaper,) as Sam Sullivan, an airline employee struggling to balance social and professional pressure. Other members of the cast include Eric Christian Olsen as Sam’s slack-happy brother Sully and Tom Cruise’s former missus Mimi Rogers as a randy executive.

Meet the Simon Cowell of fashion

Later this month we'll be treating you to new US reality show, Running in Heels (see the US website), which follows British magazine editor, Joanna Coles, as she runs the US edition of Marie Claire. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper fashion show without backstabbing, bitching and rivalry and that, luckily for us, is provided in spades by three interns who are fighting it out for a lasting position at the magazine. Running in Heels starts at 25th August at 11pm.

Gentlemen, start your engines, and may the best woman win

Move over America’s Next Top Model! It will be handbags at dawn later this month, with the E4 premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race (see the US website). Former drag queen, supermodel and, erm, musician, RuPaul becomes mentor to nine wannabe drag queens who battle it out to earn the title of America’s next drag superstar! Yes, this really is a programme. Starts 25th August, at 11pm.
 
Whether you be man or woman, you better have your best frock on to watch E4 this month.
