Betrayal

Shaun Evans (Until I Kill You, Endeavour), Romola Garai (The Years, The Hour), Zahra Ahmadi (Beyond Paradise, The Bay) and Nikki Amuka-Bird (I, Jack Wright, Avenue 5) star this four-part thriller about trust, truth, and the personal cost of secrecy in the modern intelligence world. Written by David Eldridge and directed by Julian Jarrold, the series is set against the backdrop of MI5, and explores the fragile, tangled web of human relationships, where loyalty and deception collide. John, a mid-career MI5 officer, meets a man who claims he has intelligence about a plot on UK soil. John soon finds himself under internal investigation. Can he identify the target and avert the attack before it’s too late, while attempting to save his marriage?

Lord of the Flies

Adapted by Jack Thorne, this first TV adaptation of the iconic novel follows the story of schoolboys stranded on a tropical island with no adults, following a deadly plane crash. In an attempt to remain civil they organise themselves, led by Ralph and supported by the group’s intellectual, Piggy. But when Jack becomes more interested in hunting and vying for leadership, he soon begins to draw other boys away from the group and, ultimately, from hope to tragedy. Episodes air nightly on BBC One, with all episodes arriving on BBC iPlayer together from 6am on Sunday.

Artful Dodger: Season 2

Jack’s back! The Artful Dodger returns, and he’s in deep trouble. He’s got an appointment with the noose, he’s being hunted by Inspector Boxer, Port Victory’s new lawman, and if he sees the woman he loves, Lady Belle, he’ll be hanged. 
Meanwhile, Lady Belle is determined to forge her future in medicine. With Boxer competing with Jack for Belle’s affection, the crafty Fagin drags Dodger into their most dangerous heist yet, and a killer is on the loose. Thomas Brodie-Sangster stars as Jack Dawkins, alongside David Thewlis as Fagin and Maia Mitchell as Lady Belle Fox, plus Tim Minchin as the devious Darius Cracksworth.

Cross: Season 2

Based on the characters created by James Patterson, the thriller follows Alex Cross (Hodge), a brilliant homicide detective and forensic psychologist with an uncanny ability to get inside the minds of killers in order to stop them. Season 2 pushes the series into a bolder, more dangerous chapter, as billionaire business titan Lance Durand (Matthew Lillard) calls the FBI for protection after receiving a death threat – one that links him to the murder of a billionaire playboy.
