David Tennant is the new host of PBS'"Masterpiece Contemporary." He will make his debut on the long-running public TV anthology this autumn.
"I'm honored to be hosting the series that introduced American audiences to programming such as Casanova and He Knew He Was Right," says David. "And it's a thrill to join the Masterpiece family of hosts: Mystery's Alan Cumming and Classic's Laura Linney."
"Masterpiece Contemporary" returns on the Public Broadcasting Service in October with "Endgame," a drama about the final days of apartheid in South Africa starring William Hurt and Jonny Lee Miller. It premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
The "Masterpiece" series began as "Masterpiece Theatre" in 1971, and now also encompasses "Mystery!" — a public TV fixture since 1980.
