BritBox, the subscription streaming service from BBC Studios and ITV, offering the biggest collection of streaming British television in North America, continues to bring the best of British Television by exclusively releasing ITV sitcom Kate & Koji.  Starring award-winning talent Brenda Blethyn (Vera, Secrets & Lies) and Jimmy Akingbola (Arrow, Ted Lasso), Kate & Koji follows the unlikely friendship between Kate, a working-class woman who runs an old fashioned seaside cafe, and Koji, an African asylum seeker. Although from very different worlds, they are similar in ways they do not recognize, including a dogged determination to never back down. Produced by Hat Trick Productions for ITV, this 6 X 30-minute series was filmed in the picturesque coastal town of Herne Bay in Kent, South East England. It premieres on April 13th on BritBox.

BritBox is available for $6.99 per month/69.99 per year—after an introductory free trial period—on Roku®,  Amazon Fire TV stick, Apple TV 4th Gen, Samsung, LG and all iOS and Android devices, AirPlay, Chromecast, and online at https://www.britbox.com/us/. BritBox is also available on Amazon Channels for Prime members and on Apple TV Channels on supported devices.
