Channel 4 -the broadcaster- tends to be very good for drama. Considering how well other US shows are doing (Big Bang Theory, such like) if it doesn't succeed on the main Channel Four, it may be moved to one of their other channels, like E4, which tends to be American sitcoms. Considering the popularity of the Marvel films in the UK, it's unlikely for it to be outright cancelled. The difficultly will be getting the casual watcher -the ones who only watch the films, don't care about the comics- to find out about it, so Channel 4 will need to really up the advertising.

Have to say, it's not what Four's been broadcasting recently.
