Week 1

 

Grace: Season 6

John Simm reprises his role as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, alongside co-stars Richie Campbell as DI Glenn Branson and Zoë Tapper as Cleo Morey, for four new episodes of the crime drama based on Peter James’ novels – this season’s stories include Left You Dead, Capture You Dead, Dead Man’s Game, and One Of Us Is Dead.

The Burbs

Samira and Rob Fisher are a young, happily married couple who, after having their first child, reluctantly decide to leave behind the Big City in order to live in a quiet suburban neighbourhood.

Moving into Rob’s childhood home in Hinkley Hills, it could be seen as a fresh start. Except there’s a creepy house just across the street that Samira can’t help but be freaked out by – especially when she discovers a girl who lived there 20 years ago went missing. When strange new neighbour Gary moves in to the house, paranoia quickly comes with him – and soon she teams up with other members of the neighbourhood to solve the mystery of the town’s long-held disappearance once and for all. Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall star in this dark comedy based on the 1989 film starring Tom Hanks.

Race Across the World: Season 6

Five adventurous teams are pushed to the limit, battling extreme climates and harsh terrain in a 12,000km race across Europe and Asia to reach Hatgal in northern Mongolia.

Your Friends & Neighbors: Season 2

Jon Hamm returns for a second chapter of this darkly funny crime thriller, as divorcee Andrew Cooper (Hamm) doubles down on his life as an unlikely suburban thief, until the arrival of a new neighbour (James Marsden) threatens to expose his secrets and place his family at risk. Episodes arrive one at a time weekly until the finale on 5th June.

Week 2

 

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord

Created by Dave Filoni, and developed by Dave Filoni and Matt Michnovetz, the animated series follows the Sith leader, who first appears in Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Playing out in an era near the beginning of Emperor Palpatine’s reign, the series will chart Maul’s plotting to rebuild his criminal syndicate on Janix, a planet untouched by the Empire. There, he crosses paths with a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who may just be the apprentice he is seeking to aid him in his relentless pursuit for revenge.

The Boys: Season 5

It’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen.

The Testaments

Described as “an evolution of The Handmaid’s Tale”, the series is based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name and is a dramatic coming-of-age story set in Gilead. The series follows young teens Agnes, dutiful and pious, and Daisy, a new arrival and convert from beyond Gilead’s borders. As they navigate the gilded halls of Aunt Lydia’s elite preparatory school for future wives, a place where obedience is instilled brutally and always with divine justification, their bond becomes the catalyst that will upend their past, their present, and their future. The drama stars Ann Dowd, Chase Infiniti. The first three episodes arrive together, followed by weekly episodes until the finale on 27th May.
