New Worlds is a gripping story of love, loss and the human price paid for the freedoms and liberties we enjoy today. We follow the fortunes of four young people - Beth, Hope, Abe and Ned - from across both sides of the Atlantic, caught up in these turbulent times. We see them struggle as they are torn between love and ideals in the harsh reality of the changing world. In England, the restored monarchy of Charles II has betrayed its promises and reverted to tyranny. Behind the decadence of the Court, a terror machine is repressing the freedoms won for the people with so much blood during the Civil War of England when Charles I was executed. In America, the tentacles of state terror reach the English colonists of New England who are struggling to throw off the shackles of the English Crown. At the same time the colonists are ruthlessly staking their claim to the territories occupied by the Native American Indians, and shedding much of the American Indian's blood in the process - in a chilling echo of the tyrannical behaviour that they sought to escape from when they crossed the Atlantic.

BBC 拍摄的电视连续剧。说的是一批在众议院从事幕后政治活动的年轻人的故事。听上去象英国版的West Wing，但英国人喜欢看这部美国电视剧，但注定自己拍不了（BBC Radio 4 还曾有个节目讨论为什么英国人不可能拍West Wing)。结果剧中人物非奸即傻，播出后反应平平。布莱尔时代政治的幕后运作有许多曝光，此剧号称反映议会政治运作内幕，却被内幕人士指已经过时。BBC 还未决定是否拍第二季。

HBO的历史迷你剧John Adams，根据美国第二任总统John Adams的生平以及美国初期历史改编，Paul Giamatti主演，演员阵容强大，由于约翰·亚当斯在任恰值英美战争时期，所以同时还有大量英国演员加盟，大量服装道具都由BBC支持，所以场面上将是一部向罗马看齐的巨作。
约翰·亚当斯是托马斯·杰斐逊组成的《独立宣言》起草委员会的成员，是美国第一任副总统，后来又当选为总统（1797－1801），曾被誉为"美国独立的巨人"。由于他体型较为矮胖，因此有 "圆胖先生" 的称号。约翰·亚当斯任职期间在内政、外交方面均无明显成就，1800年竞选总统时被托马斯·杰斐逊击败。他和杰斐逊都是在美国独立五十周年纪念日──1826年7月4日去世的。其子约翰·昆西·亚当斯是美国第六任总统。
HBO推出的这部7集长的《约翰·亚当斯》，根据获得普利策大奖的同名畅销书改编，此书也是美国历史上最受欢迎的传记文学之一。该剧描绘了约翰·亚当斯波澜壮阔的一生（相对于美国人而言），特别是约翰·亚当斯对美国的立国之道及社会基础的贡献。美国所奉行的所谓 "自由" 、"民主"、"人权" 等基本政治理念，均萌芽于约翰·亚当斯执政时期。此外，该剧还集中介绍了约翰·亚当斯和他的妻子艾比盖尔的爱情故事。艾比盖尔不仅是约翰·亚当斯的爱人，也是他坚定的政治盟友和支撑亚当斯家族的主心骨，她和丈夫的爱情曾被美国人认为是 "美国历史上最感人的爱情故事之一"。
该剧由奥斯卡获奖演员Paul Giamatti和Laura Linney主演，著名导演Tom Hooper执导，Tom Hanks（汤姆·汉克斯）担任执行制片人。编剧Kirk Ellis曾撰写过《Into the West》的剧本，因此对历史题材的改编驾轻就熟。
