News & Updates on Upcoming or Airing Dramas/Movie with no threads (yet) or will have none

[SC2019]

The purpose of this thread is to post news on upcoming or airing dramas (and the occasional movie) that don't have threads yet or won't (as these dramas may less likely be viewed or fall under less watched genres like detective, criminal investigation, republican era) but may still possibly interest a minority of members. To make it easier to read, this first post will be updated (as and when updates are available) and organised based on broadcast network. For members who wish to update this post, please PM @SC2019 or leave a post as to what to update, and it will be updated. If there is a request to create a thread for a particular drama, please also reach out or leave a post (or you could start the thread yourself too) !
