Do you know when the final ...

Question: Do you know when the final season of Life on Mars will air on BBC America? Let me tell you, it's hard to avoid spoilers for a show that finished its run months ago in Great Britain when I'm searching the Internet for an airdate. I greatly enjoyed last season and have been looking forward to watching its concluding second season. Is the new version being developed by ABC causing the holdup?
Answer: Can't really comment on the timing except to say that word from BBC America during its recent press event in L.A. was that the second season will premiere in December. David E. Kelley has finally found the lead for his adaptation (Jason O'Mara of The Agency), so it sounds like the American version is getting closer to reality. Back in England, there's also a spin-off in the works, titled Ashes to Ashes, set in the '80s and built around the character of DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister). Don't even ask me about an airdate for that one.
