Intertwine

Intertwine is an Anglo-American semi-anthology series that airs on BBC One in the UK and HBO in the USA. It premiered in both countries on October 9th, 2016 and its first season concluded six weeks later on November 13th, 2016. A second season is currently in production.

Background
Intertwine was commissioned by BBC One in early 2015, initially as an in-house project. However, when funding became an issue within the BBC in March 2015, creator Ifan Barber pitched the series to HBO, who agreed to co-produce the series. It was announced by Ifan Barber on Twitter in May 2015, with an outline of the series.

''Four separate stories of mysterious origins, all with links to one another. So who exactly is behind it all?''

Production began in July 2015 and concluded sixth months later in February 2016. Guest stars in the first season included Jon Hamm, Rachel Weisz, Peter Capaldi, Jenna Fischer, Chris Evans, Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen, Emily Blunt, Tom Baker and Miranda Hart.

Both the BBC and HBO backed a Christmas special in June 2016. The special was filmed in July 2016, and featured guest appearances by Felicity Jones, Matt Smith, Robbie Coltrane and Imelda Staunton. Ifan Barber teased the plot on Twitter.

After a traumatic year, an estranged family comes together for what has been promised to be an unforgettable holiday season.

Both networks once again back the series for a second season in November 2016, shortly after the first's conclusion. A teaser trailer confirmed Angelina Jolie's involvement and a press release gave a vague insight into the plot.

Four new stories of even more mysterious origins, all connected in unique ways, but who is this new copycat?

Production began on the series in January 2017 and concluded 4 months later in April 2017. For the second series, casting was kept under wraps, except that of Angelina Jolie, until broadcast. A second Christmas Special, starring Lady Gaga, was confirmed in May 2017 and was filmed over July 2017. A plot teaser was released in November.

In the days after the assassination of a world leader, his mistress struggles with guilt, but a supernatural force offers to bring her some holiday joy.

It is currently unknown if the series will return for a 3rd season.
