Get your list ready: the “next episode” button is about to work overtime.
Tommy Shelby returns in wartime.
The universe created by Steven Knight expands with a film set in 1940, in the midst of World War II. Tommy Shelby breaks his self-imposed exile to face the most devastating reckoning of his life. With Cillian Murphy reprising his iconic role, the film promises epic drama, political tension and a farewell worthy of the saga.
Nicole Kidman steps into the role of a fearless forensic expert.
Starring Nicole Kidman and based on Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling series, this new crime show follows Dr. Kay Scarpetta as she investigates a serial killer who threatens to reopen the case that defined her career nearly three decades ago. With a sophisticated atmosphere and a focus on the psychology of victims and perpetrators, forensic procedure becomes an intense thriller about the cost of pursuing the truth.
Steve Carell in university comedy mode.
Steve Carell returns to comedy in this series set on a college campus. Over ten episodes, the story explores the complex yet endearing relationship between a writer and his daughter, blending sharp humor, generational tensions and reflections on creative ego. Ideal for those looking for a smart comedy with heart.
A brilliant satire about identity and desire.
Ahead of John Malkovich’s anticipated visit to Argentina, one of the actor’s most celebrated films arrives on screens, directed by the unclassifiable Charlie Kaufman. A hidden passageway inside an office building opens the door to an experience as absurd as it is unsettling: inhabiting someone else’s mind. What begins as an improbable game turns into a hypnotic and melancholic satire on desire, identity and the deeply human fantasy of escaping oneself. A sharp existential comedy that still asks what it truly means to be someone.

Espionage, secrets and unfinished business in an action-packed thriller.
