description: New and familiar stars impress in this worthy adaptation of Margaret Atwood's disturbing novel.
encoded: It’s been a year since viewers left Gilead behind for good, as the extended version of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid’s Tale came to an end in the sixth season. Now, the dystopian epic has returned with a dark coming-of-age fable in the sequel, The Testaments. Set 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, Agnes (Chase Infiniti) is a plum (a pre-pubescent girl in Gilead) ripe for the picking for an arranged marriage by one of the aunts at Aunt Lydia’s finishing school for girls. Groomed until they are 'truly worthy' of a husband (aka become fertile), the teenage girls – dressed in plum, pearl or green – are primed to run a household with training in the culinary arts, lace work and the scriptures. Daisy (Lucy Halliday), Agnes' newly assigned pearl girl, is both the bridge to the outside world and our eyes into this alternate perspective on the regime. Raised in Canada, Daisy is an outsider shrouded in secrets. Difficult to trust, Agnes and her allies cannot understand why anyone would subject themselves to this repression if they didn’t have to. And it’s clear she doesn’t belong. From vomiting at the first assembly when a man is brutalised for his crimes to sneaking out a cassette late at night to relive the freedom of her life before the regime, Daisy is an anomaly in this well-orchestrated order that threatens to disrupt everything that these girls have been raised and trained for. View Green Video on the source website No one is without their own secrets though, every girl is working through their own demons, dilemmas and unanswered questions as they enter the next stage of their life: woman, wife, mother. Inevitably, there was an immense amount of pressure for The Testaments to live up to The Handmaid’s Tale record-breaking success, both for the book, initially, and this adaptation. Yet, even with the minor tweaks to the novel to increase the possibility of a second season, The Testaments is a triumph. The ten-part series achieves what few sequels or spin…

description: "Every day, we all look back and feel so lucky about being a part of that show."
encoded: It's almost 20 years since the final episode of Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed political drama The West Wing, bringing an end to the fictional Bartlet administration for good. It remains widely regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all time, not only for its popular ‘walk and talk’ shooting style (typically a one-camera tracking shot) and fast-paced dialogue, but its central themes of idealism, duty and optimism, especially around American politics. Over two decades on, Bradley Whitford, who played the witty White House deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman, reflects that it continues to resonate as almost “progressive pornography” when it comes to left-wing Democratic policies. “It’s civic porn,” Whitford tells Radio Times. “It's progressive pornography, like really well-intentioned, well-informed people trying to make the world better. It's insane.” Though Whitford – who stars in the new Colleen Hoover film adaptation Reminders of Him – has “so many” fond memories from the seven seasons on the show, one of his favourite on-set memories comes from a special guest star’s performance. View Green Video on the source website “There’s so many,” Whitford says about the best moments from set, “but the thing that always immediately pops into my mind – there was an episode called Noel, where my character had PTSD after a shooting. “There was a day where we were shooting and Yo-Yo Ma was playing the cello, one of the most beautiful Bach cello concertos. Yo-Yo came out. He was supposed to be playing in – we used to have a thing at the White House called the East Wing – and he was playing the East Wing, and Yoyo played his side. “On film, they can just do, you know, playback. They’ve recorded it. First of all, Yo-Yo came out, handed his cello to the background people and said, pass it around. His whole thing is about breaking down the formality of classical music. “He was so generous with everybody. Then just take after take, finding my eye line while the greatest cellist maybe eve…

description: Reminders of Him was a reminder of previous TV roles for Bradley Whitford.
encoded: In a delightful crossover of fandoms, Bradley Whitford has reunited with his former co-star and Gilmore Girls legend Lauren Graham in an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel Reminders of Him. The actors had the “incredibly painful” challenge of playing Grace and Patrick, the parents of a 23-year-old man, Scotty (Rudy Pankow), who dies in a car crash on his birthday. His girlfriend Kenna (Maika Monroe), who was driving the car, lives on, but is sentenced to seven years in prison. While she serves her time, Grace and Patrick are left to raise Kenna and Scotty’s daughter, their granddaughter, Diem. The heavy subject matter was made easier for Whitford by working alongside Graham, as the duo have known each other for over 25 years, often bumping into each other while performing their career-defining roles in the early 2000s. “I go so far back with Lauren,” Whitford tells Radio Times. “When The West Wing started, she was shooting Gilmore Girls, and they were both notoriously difficult shows to shoot. You would shoot late into the early morning. “I just remember a couple of times memorising lines on the Warner Brothers lot and bumping into her, and she's memorising lines on the lot. This was a quarter century ago. “She was on Studio 60, and I got to work with her again,” he adds. “She’s just a notoriously lovely human being who I think is a great actor, and I was thrilled that she was doing it.” <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/03/reminders-of-him-tyriq-withers-lauren-graham-489bb27.jpg" width="1200" height="800" alt="Tyriq Withers as Ledger Ward and Lauren Graham as Grace Landry in Reminders of Him, walking across grass and smiling, with a child on Ledger's back." title="Tyriq Withers as Ledger Ward and Lauren Graham as Grace Landry in Reminders of Him" /> Whitford admits that while Hoover’s books or the “young, hot romance” is not his “go-to genre, because I’m old”, he was “blown away” by Reminders of Him, which he read just befo…

description: "I’ve barely written season three".
encoded: Contains major spoilers for season 3 of The Capture. A lot has changed since BBC’s crime drama The Capture, a cyber thriller all about deepfakes, first aired in 2019, with the technology now being far more advanced and insidious. Now, the acclaimed series has returned for a long-awaited third season that kick-starts with the shocking death of fan-favourite character from season two, Isaac Turner (Paapa Essiedu). There are several shocking revelations and tragedies throughout the first few episodes that raise the stakes for Carey (Holliday Grainger), higher than ever before, with the new season taking the intensity levels up a notch or two. This is, in part, due to the fact that creator Ben Chanan admits that he prefers to write each season with the conviction that it could be "the last." "I always write each season like it might be the last, so just don't hold on to people who have got to go and you may as well enjoy offing them," Chanan tells Radio Times. "Now, what it does for Carey is like the wheels are off… when [certain characters] go, it’s like the wheels spin, she finds it discombobulating." The creator also opened up about the motive behind Isaac’s death and teased you’ll find out in "season six why it came to be" before correcting himself that he meant episode six. Though, we can all hope that was just a little slip up and the beloved series will be renewed for another season or three, perhaps. "Sorry, there’s no season six," he adds, before joking, "Ever since season one, I’ve been playing the long game. I've written season six, no, I’ve barely written season three."

description: "It feels personal to Carey," said Holliday Grainger of that destabilising moment in The Capture season 3's opening episode.
encoded: It’s been four years since the BBC’s deepfake crime drama, The Capture, last aired, but creator Ben Chanan isn’t holding back from diving straight back into the action. In the first episode, Carey (Holliday Grainger) is faced with a new threat as a terrorist attack hits a press conference about a new two-way camera surveillance system that can’t be hacked and abused by Correction. Carey is the only eye-witness on the scene, who sees the single gunman’s face, after he fatally shoots returning favourite Isaac Turner (Paapa Essiedu) in the head. The brutal attack propels Carey to tirelessly hunt down the real attacker, as every piece of phone and camera footage has been corrected to show a deepfake of a different man. Speaking to Radio Times about Isaac’s tragic death, Chanan explained: "You see why in episode six, he, according to certain forces, had to go. But, it's really all about kickstarting the next journey for Carey. "She obviously really got on with Isaac and she cares about him, and there's even a little frisson between them. So, when he gets shot and killed, it's personal. It feels personal to Carey."

description: "I always loved working with Eric."
encoded: Patrick Dempsey has paid tribute to his Grey’s Anatomy co-star Eric Dane, remembering him as a “handsome, intelligent man”. Dane, who starred in the long-running medical drama as Dr Mark Sloan, passed away last Friday (20 February), 10 months after he was diagnosed with the condition ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Dempsey appeared alongside Dane in Shonda Rhimes’s hit series as Dr Derek Shepherd, and the duo were affectionately dubbed McDreamy (Dempsey) and McSteamy (Dane) by viewers for their charming good looks. “I always loved working with Eric,” Dempsey told Radio Times. “He had a great sense of humour. He was always very professional, always very well-prepared, handsome, intelligent, he was funny and warm.” “I think he was a beloved character [on Grey’s Anatomy]. He was a wonderful man. He will be greatly missed and I feel deeply for his family, his children.” View Green Video on the source website Dempsey went on to share his condolences to Dane’s family, including his two teenage daughters, Billie and Georgia, as he reflected on the pain of losing a parent at a young age. “I lost my father when I was very young, and it's a devastating loss that takes years to overcome,” Dempsey continued. “And not only was [Eric] such a young man, but this disease affects so many people, and he worked very hard at bringing awareness to it. So maybe in his passing, more people will get a better understanding and work harder to cure this disease.” Dempsey is one of several long-running cast members who was with Grey’s Anatomy since its inception in 2005, before he left the show back in 2015 in season 11. “I think that the first three seasons are my favourite because it's part of the discovery process of the show,” he explained. “Then my second favourite memory and the thing that I'm the proudest of is when young people have come away watching the show and now are in the medical profession. “I meet so many people who come up to me who say they were inspired by the show…

description: Patrick Dempsey plays a contract killer in Ed Whitmore and Tracey Malone's crime drama.
encoded: Five years have passed since 007 drank his last 'shaken-not-stirred' martini on-screen in No Time to Die, but as rumours swirl about who could step into Daniel Craig’s shoes to be the next James Bond, one actor has shut down suggestions that the iconic spy could be anything other than a British actor. Patrick Dempsey is starring as an assassin not too dissimilar to Bond in Memory of a Killer. Fancy cars, sleek suits and a secret cellar to conceal an armoury of weapons, in another life Dempsey as Angelo could be James Bond. But is this his unofficial audition for the role? "Oh, I don't think you could be an American and be James Bond - how would you do it?” he tells RadioTimes, "It would be John Ben, I like my non-alcoholic martini stirred not shaken, I guess, would be the logline, I don't know. "I think it will be interesting to see who becomes the next James Bond. He's such an iconic figure, it has to be an Englishman or Scottish, or Irish." Though the actor might not be officially 007, his latest role as a skilled hitman delicately balancing a double life as a family man by day, contract killer by night, is an action-packed one nonetheless with impressive stunts and car chase sequences. "I love the nonstop action because I love the physicality of it in the choreography, the physical training of working with this, I love that," he said, "That came to me really easily, although at my age, the recovery period was a little bit harder. "I'm a father - my children are older now, so I enjoyed that part of it as well. So, it was all these wonderful little variations and these different little silos that you could play and the story is really about how that comes crumbling down." In Memory of a Killer, Angelo has to come to terms with his oncoming symptoms of Alzheimer's, similar to how his brother Michael’s condition began. The lapses in his memory start small, but start to threaten this meticulously separation he has forged between his two very different lives. "It was t…

description: "I just think the best, most awful things in life are the best to get through with laughing and taking the piss out of them."
encoded: Lucia Keskin is not your average 24-year-old. By 23, the YouTube sensation had already amassed an impressive online following, landed her first BBC Three series, Things You Should Have Done, and went onto win a BAFTA for Best Rising Star for her performance. All from her childhood bedroom. Keskin is now back demonstrating her signature deadpan humour as her alter-ego, Lucia (or Chi) in season 2, as a recently bereaved stay-at-home-daughter who is an adult-in-progress as she works through a list of tasks her dead parents have left her to accomplish. The premise is desperately sad: both of Chi’s parents die in a car crash in the first episode, leaving her the sole owner (and grown up) of the house. But she has no life skills whatsoever, every task from finding a job to learning to drive leads to woefully inappropriate scenarios, all while her vulture of an aunty, Karen (played tremendously by Selin Hizli), circles around her to try and inherit the house. With a “face like depression” (as noted in the series), the multi-hyphenate talent admits that it’s often hard to strike the balance between the tragedy and comedy, as she has a tendency to take the dark humour to extremes. “That's where I have to have people tell me because I will just go as dark as possible and I see no issue, and they're like, ‘no, not that, you can’t do that,” Keskin tells RadioTimes.com. “But I just think the best, most awful things in life are the best to get through with laughing and taking the piss out of them. I’ve always viewed it that way.” “I’ll just say ‘Yeah, let’s joke about that’ and they’re like ‘No, actually, we can’t.’ I did get away with quite a lot, but I was trying to push it.” <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/BBC-comedy-96ee4bd.jpg" width="4241" height="2827" alt="A young woman stands outdoors beside a black-and-white horse, which is close to the camera and slightly out of focus in the foreground.

Emily in Paris creator reveals why key character hasn't returned for season 5 - and why "fun Gabriel" is now back

description: "I think it ran its course..."
encoded: Emily in Paris is back for another delicious, dramatic outing with season 5, following the American expat as she jet sets across Paris, Rome and Venice and meets a whole host of new people along the way. Creator Darren Star told RadioTimes.com that the new cast, which includes Minnie Driver, Bryan Greenberg and the return of Eugenio Franceschini as a series regular, "gave the show a lot of new energy." One notable absence this time around is Camille Razat who played Camille, a central figure in the season's love triangle which included her, her ex-boyfriend Gabriel and former close friend Emily. In season 4, Camille was in a whirlwind of turmoil as it was revealed that she wasn’t pregnant, but had a rare false positive, and kept it hidden from Gabriel to try and make him stay with her… rather than go back to Emily. The revelation that she’d concealed the truth leads to the breakdown of their relationship and Camille leaves to seek new horizons and loves beyond her small circle in Paris. Speaking about Camille’s absence, Starr said: “I think Camille's storyline was a wonderful storyline, but I think it ran its course by the end of season 4, so it opened up some new doors for us.” Moving away from the familiarities in Paris, as Emily spends a good portion of the series in Rome (then Venice), also meant a major dynamic change for this season as the core will-they-won’t-they storyline between Emily and Gabriel also faded into the background. Speaking about his character arc on the show with Variety, Bravo expressed that he wanted to bring back "fun Gabriel" to the show after a "gloomy" period of pining over the one that got away, Emily. Starr felt as though the geographical distance between Emily and Gabriel this season helped them both have more freedom to find new loves, passions and joy away from this romantic storyline. "I think some of the fun Gabriel came back in season five, I really do," Star added, "I think it was just a wonderful balance of having Gabriel on t…

description: "She thought we were being punked."
encoded: After the first trailer dropped for Emily in Paris season 5, everyone was talking about the same plot twist: Emily’s former flame, Alfie, started a flirtation with her best friend, Mindy (Ashley Park). For the past two seasons, Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) has been on-and-off with the American expat in Paris, Emily (Lily Collins) in an awkward little love triangle with her former chef neighbour, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). Creator Darren Star has never been afraid to disrupt the norm on the show, but this romantic storyline felt like a curveball for everyone, including Collins and Ashley Park themselves. In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com, the duo revealed that they thought Mindy and Alfie’s relationship was a ‘joke’ from the creator and that initially they were being 'punked'. Collins revealed: “Well, I warned her, then we read it, because I read the outlines, but I didn’t know if it was going to end up in the script. “She thought we were being punked,” Park added, as Collins confirmed: “I did. I really was like, ‘This is a joke.’” As soon as Park read the script, she phoned Collins to discuss the new storyline as they were both in shock about what it could mean for their close friendship on the show.

What does this mean for our characters in this friendship that we hold so dear?' Which we didn't have the answers to, so, it's always fun to panic with another friend.” “We're both panicked about how are we going to fight and make up,” Collins said. The new love triangle opened up a whole new dynamic this season, one that challenged their friendship, but also allowed the duo to work closely as a trio with Laviscount, which was a welcomed c…

As we wait with bated breath to hear if the long-running series will be renewed for another outing, it seems that an announcement could be imminent. Netflix's CEO Ted Sarandos seemed to hint that the show would come back for a sixth season when he announced a list of returning series for 2026, which included Emily in Paris. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but it’s another positive sign that Emily’s story might not be over, especially after that season five finale. Creator Darren Star has left plenty of threads left to unravel. Emily has a decision to make about her romantic future, as does Mindy — who arguably has an even more complicated situation this season. Gabriel and Alfie have made their decision and feelings clear, but who will they end up with? As we ruminate over all the potential futures for our favourite Americans in Paris, here’s everything we know so far about season six. Has Emily in Paris been renewed for season 6? As of yet, there's been no official announcement from Netflix – but a renewal seems likely given those recent comments from Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. When could a potential Emily in Paris season 6 be released? To date, there’s no confirmed release date for the sixth season of the series, but if the past seasons are anything to go by then a 2026 release seems likely. Season 4 debuted back in August 2024, while season 5 has just landed on Netflix in December 2025. Fingers crossed this means fans of the show won’t have too long to wait to find out what happens next in Emily’s story. Who could return for a potential Emily in Paris season 6? As season 5 ends, it seems that the majority of the main cast would return for another outing such as Lily Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo and Lucien Laviscount. Newcomer Minnie Driver, as Pr…

encoded: Emily in Paris season 5 has arrived, and viewers are still recovering from the whirlwind of revelations and surprises these 10 episodes served up. Emily’s (Lily Collins) Italian adventure doesn’t end quite as she would have hoped, with much of her heart shattered in Rome (then again in Venice), bringing her firmly back to her roots in Paris. To amplify the highs and lows is a well-chosen soundtrack that always becomes an integral part of the show’s culture, but this season feels particularly iconic. From setting the scene for steamy dance routine to a remix of Singin’ In the Rain for a flooded Venetian runway, it’s a decadent blend of Italian, Parisian and American classics that all align perfectly with the drama on-screen.

description: Emily's back – and she's living it up in Italy....
encoded: Emily in Paris is back for season 5 with more drama and new love triangles all set to the gorgeous tableaux of Emily (Lily Collins) living the American dream of a summer in Europe. There are new love interests and new locations at play in the big shake up for the series, as Emily spends the majority of the new season in Rome with her new flame, Marcello. Collins told Tudum about their connection: "Marcello is a whole other adventure that we want for Emily, because we ultimately want Emily to be able to have a better work-life balance. We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time." The one thing that may threaten those smiles is a potential new flirtation between her best friend, Mindy (Ashley Park) and her ex-boyfriend, Alfie (Lucas Laviscount), as teased in the trailer. Laviscount told People about season 5: "All I’m gonna say is strap in. Because it goes left, so far left, and a little bit right this season. I didn’t know what to expect – none of us do before we get the scripts – and we got the scripts for this season and it’s … Yeah, I don’t think anyone could have foreseen that coming."

Eternity stars reveal they're already living in their idea of hell in the afterlife: "America right now"

description: Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller, John Early and Da'Vine Joy Randolph spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com about the inventive new romcom.
encoded: David Freyne’s new film Eternity contemplates what heaven (or hell) might feel like if you had to spend an eternity there – and the options are endless. Tired of living with men? 'Men Free World' is a good option. Ready to retreat into a stunning landscape? 'Mountain World' might be a good move for you. Always wanted to go to Paris? Well, how about you spend an eternity there? The Irish writer-director imagines that death is not the end, as after your time in the real world is done, you arrive by a retro-fitted train to the afterlife where you meet your AC (afterlife consultant) who will help you choose how to spend your eternity. Da’Vine Joy Randolph and John Early play Anna and Ryan, the ACs of Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) and Larry (Miles Teller). Instead of opting for eternal uptopian relaxation, Anna and Ryan have chosen to spend their afterlife in service of everyone else’s happy ever afterlives (if you will). Joy Randolph has already thought about what afterlife she’d choose, if a system like the one in the retro-futuristic world of Eternity exists. "Just luxury," she told RadioTimes.com. "Not super lux, but like when you go on a really nice holiday and you’re like 'You know what? I did the research and I found a great hotel.' You know that feeling when you open the door to the hotel and you’re like, 'Yes.' I want a nice holiday." Early is more influenced by the fact it’s already past lunchtime when we chat. "Mac and Cheese World," he responds. "But that's just because I'm starving right now. There's lots of different kinds of mac and cheese!" Though he doesn’t tend to watch romcoms himself, Early does have one film he could watch for an eternity. "I just rewatched The Way We Were with my mom and seeing the way that it just worked on her, it was so sweet," he says, "She was like, by the end [wipes tear], we were both like [wipes tear]… I’d choose that maybe. I love that." In the film, there are also many discontinued eternities that are either inherently problemati…

Back in September, it was confirmed that the long-awaited third season was finally in development with Mr & Mrs Smith co-creator and showrunner Francesca Sloane set to write the first episode. To date, there have been very few details about the new season, but ahead of the release of the second season of Palm Royale, Laura Dern and her producing partner Jayme Lemons have opened up about returning to the show. “Let me tell you everything,” Lemons joked, before Dern added: “I can only tease that we have a group chat of amazing female friends that are very excited to spend as much time as possible together.” Dern is set to reunite with Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman on the project, who are also serving as executive producers, alongside creator David E Kelley and Sloane. In the meantime, Dern and Lemons and their production company, Jaywalker Pictures, have other projects in the pipeline from Palm Royale to The Dolls, a HBO series about the Christmas Eve riots in Walmart Arkansas. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/11/Palm-Royale-439108d.jpg" width="8256" height="5504" alt="Four women stand in a dimly lit, slightly eerie hallway decorated with hanging ropes and rustic wooden beams.

description: "We wanted the sheriff to be a complex character, not just a bad guy."
encoded: Every great hero needs a villain, but the role can often become a one-dimensional one in comparison to the titular character. Robin Hood co-creators Jonathan English and John Glenn wanted to avoid that in their adaptation. In the MGM+ series, the duo reimagined the Sheriff of Nottingham for acting legend Sean Bean, creating a multi-faceted and “complex character” who experiences his own sense of internal turmoil, as opposed to being the typical self-serving, almost-pantomime baddie he’s often reduced to. English, who served as the co-writer and director for all ten episodes, told RadioTimes.com: “We wanted the Sheriff to be a complex character, not just a bad guy, the typical baddie that the Sheriff of Nottingham often is. “We wanted him to be a very complex character who's torn between trying to uphold the law, trying to uphold what is it – Norman culture – but also struggling with everything that he deals with, his responsibilities as the sheriff, as the policeman of Nottingham, and having a rather unruly daughter as well. Sean just brought so much complexity and greyness to all of that.” Read more: I'm an expert historian and here's how accurate Robin Hood on MGM+ is to real events Sean Bean is a ruthless Sheriff of Nottingham in dramatic trailer for new Robin Hood Alongside the introduction of his daughter, Priscilla (Lydia Peckham), the co-writers also credited Bean’s “extraordinary” abilities as an actor to transform every line of dialogue into a rich and memorable moment. Glenn added: “He’s just an extraordinary actor in his ability, but also in how collaborative he is and just brings so much to every scene and makes interesting choices. It's his choices and how he delivers lines, which are fairly simple, not necessarily important moments and he just instils such colour and complexity [in them].” The Lord of the Rings actor is joined by relative newcomers for the series, as well as acting icons such as Connie Nielson, but the co-writers wanted to ensure they …

encoded: There have been many adaptations of the legend of Robin Hood, but the MGM+ series promises to be a romantic spin on the tale offering a new psychological depth, grit and historical accuracy than ever seen before. Co-written by Jonathan English and John Glenn, the 10-part series follow Rob in his origins story as a Saxon forester’s son who falls in love with a Norman Lord’s daughter, Marian. Together, the duo must fight for justice and freedom against the oppression in the Middle Ages, Rob with his band of rebel outlaws and Marian by infiltrating the courts. Speaking to RadioTimes.com, Glenn and English set out to create something new, rather than a recreation or extension of a previous adaptation. We both love all the shows," said English. "I've been a huge Robin hood fan and fan of the Middle Ages since forever, and I love all of those shows. I grew up watching Kevin Costner and I think we all did, as most people do, even the recent Russell Crowe film. Glenn added: "There have been so many great interpretations over the years, even the Walt Disney film – I mean, the Walt Disney film is actually one of the best – and people love it. "We wanted to actually, in our story, to have all of the fun and the humour and the high-action adventure, but we also wanted to tell an origin story, and we wanted it to be more believable, more grounded. So certain things you can't get from the other films because they just didn't choose to show that version of it." But who can you expect to see in this reimagining?

description: Sean Bean takes on the iconic role of the Sheriff of Nottingham in MGM+’s reimagining of Robin Hood.
encoded: Robin Hood has been retold across countless mediums, most recently in Disney’s family-friendly adventure Robin and the Hoods. Now, John Glenn and Jonathan English have reimagined the tale as an origin story with psychological depth and mythological and historical undertones — a portrait of a man fighting for justice under oppressive rule in MGM +'s Robin Hood. Stripped of their lands and ancestral homes, the Saxons struggle to adjust to their new status as outlaws after the Norman conquest of the Middle Ages. Their usurpers sit comfortably in their manors, while Rob (Jack Patten) and his parents, Joan (Anastasia Griffin) and Hugh (Tom Mison), are turned out of their home and into a modest hut in the forest. The series begins in Rob’s childhood, when the Normans first seize power, exploring the devastating effect this has — particularly on his father. Robbed of his title, position, and home, Hugh’s dangerous rage puts the family at risk, as his wife tries to temper his fury for the sake of survival. Driven by pride and ego, the opening episode dissects Hugh’s shortcomings as a man forced to kneel before a king and authority he does not recognise — a conflict Rob will later inherit. Most crucially, Hugh introduces his son to the bow and teaches him to control his emotions in order to always hit his mark. Rob’s relationship with his father is pivotal to this adaptation, and it’s a testament to Mison’s performance that the full weight of that bond — and its undoing — lands within the first hour. His father’s death becomes a powerful motivator, shaking Rob from his submissive slumber and igniting the rebellion that defines him.

The new film starring Keira Knightley arrived on the streamer on Friday (10th October) and despite a relatively poor critical reception, it has instantly shot to the top of the Netflix Top 10 list. Based on Ruth Ware's novel of the same name, Knightley plays an investigative journalist named Lo who is convinced she sees a passenger thrown overboard the luxury yacht she is travelling on – even though everyone aboard claims that nothing is amiss and all the passengers and crew are still accounted for. As she investigates, things continue to get increasingly suspicious leading up to a major twists – if you've seen it and need it all unpacked, read for The Woman in Cabin 10 ending explained. The Woman in Cabin 10 ending explained: Who was thrown overboard? As Lo’s paranoia grows, it’s starts to become apparent that she was right to be fearful of the rest of the guests on the boat, as she was right all along. After discovering that the woman she had seen in the supposedly unoccupied cabin (number 10) is actually the spitting image of Anne (Lisa Loven Kongsli) things start to click into place. Richard (Guy Pearce) had invited this doppelgänger, Carrie (Gitte Witt), to the maiden voyage of his luxury yacht to temporarily switch places with his wife, Anne, so she could change Anne’s will to leave everything to him. However, in Agatha Christie-style fashion, nothing goes to plan. It’s revealed when Anne discovered Carrie and her husband scheming in cabin 10, a fight broke out, and she fatally hit her head, before Richard pushed Anne overboard. Horrified, Carrie does as Richard tells her and becomes Anne for the rest of the trip. Carrie confides all of this to Lo when she traps the inquisitive journalist in a storage room (as Lo realises quickly that the woman she saw in cabin 10 was Anne or someone who looked like her). Lo is missing for several days, which Dr Robert Meh…

description: Simon Stone spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com about his new Keira Knightley-led Netflix thriller.
encoded: It’s inevitable in a book-to-screen adaptation that changes are made to offer a new perspective on the story, and that’s the challenge director Simon Stone had with Ruth Ware’s The Woman in Cabin 10. The psychological thriller follows Laura (Keira Knightley), a journalist who is covering the maiden voyage of a luxury yacht and believes that she has seen a passenger being thrown overboard. Despite her integrity as a journalist, none of the other guests or crew believe her, as everyone is accounted for. The film makes a few changes from the source novel, but Stone explained in an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com that there was one moment he was desperate to keep, even though it was almost left out. “The moment that I always knew I was going to have, and it disappeared from the script and it came back, was the 'stop' written on the mirror,” he explained. Knightley added that Stone was "wed to" that detail, before he continued: “Yeah, like I know that's going to be an awesome moment, because the scary thing is someone was just in the room with her. "But it's also the moment where she goes, 'They've shown themselves. This person, whoever it is – I don't know who it is – has shown that they exist. I am therefore not crazy'. So there's a triumph in it as well." Stone also made a number of alterations to the screenplay, which he set out to make his “own thing” as opposed to a replication of the book. “If it's the shadow of a previous thing, you can't gain anything from that," he said. "I think that the only thing that you can do is to treat it as if you're making your own piece of work." He added that a lot of decisions and directions had to be made to shape the story into something tangible as opposed to an open subjective experience that people may have had when reading the book. "You have to choose an actor in a film, you can't go, well, just imagine yourself in that role, which is what novels do," Stone continues, "You can go 'I'm projecting all of my connections…

encoded: (**WARNING: Contains spoilers for The Woman in Cabin 10**) There’s always an element of danger in a psychological thriller, and David Ajala has opened up about his character’s "bittersweet" end in Netflix’s The Woman in Cabin 10. The film follows Lo (Keira Knightley), a journalist who is covering on a maiden voyage of a luxury yacht. Early on, she believes she sees someone thrown overboard – but her concerns are brushed off given that every member of the crew and the guests are all accounted for. The suspected murder mystery (which has all the trappings of an Agatha Christie work) also sees Lo reunited with her ex-boyfriend, Ben (David Ajala). Ben is a photographer, there to capture the splendour of the trip, and initially sits on the fence about helping Lo follow her "journalist instincts" due to her lack of evidence. But one of the most shocking moments comes when he finally picks a side, which has deadly consequences for him. "I think it was a wonderfully surprising moment to read," Ajala explained to RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview. "Because without judging the character, I was very taken by how this guy became the sacrificial lamb for this lady. I love seeing when characters are revealed in their actions and that was such a massive thing to do." He added: "I don't think Ben weighed up the weight of the sacrifice as he was in it, but he made a decision to do it and commit to it for Lo. [It happens so quickly] so you don’t have time to process, but you see the conviction that he has to go, 'I'm doing this for the better good.' But then it is bittersweet because there's nothing heroic about it because he doesn't win." Ajala's co-star Guy Pearce, who plays the billionaire philanthropist Richard, added: "You're going to get so many more fans after this… But our audience then within the translation of it, they then get to feel the loss of you." Ajala was interested to explore a character who "operates in a very grey area" who is both with the wealthy, but di…

description: The actress can soon be seen starring in the new Netflix film The Woman in Cabin 10.
encoded: It’s been almost a year since the first season of Black Doves debuted – and now star Keira Knightley has revealed an exciting update about the second run of the series. While promoting her latest Netflix psychological thriller, The Woman in Cabin 10, the actress admitted in an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com that she was "so ready" to return to action in the spy-for-hire thriller. She teased about the next season: "I mean, we start on Monday… That's all I know… and I'm in it a lot." Knightley’s latest foray into her "favourite" genre is in an adaptation of Ruth Ware’s novel of the same name. She plays Lauren (or Lo), a journalist who is dead set on uncovering the truth when she is invited to a private yacht and believes she sees a woman fall overboard. "I love the genre; it's always been my favourite," she said. "There's a claustrophobia. They're trapped on a boat. She thinks she's seen somebody; she knows she's seen something, and everyone tells her that she's wrong. "For most people that would make them go, 'Oh, gosh, I'm so sorry. You're totally right. I must have got drunk or something.' Instead, she goes, 'I saw it. This is what happened' and she just ploughs on through. I was just really interested in looking at somebody who was that sure." Lo is dedicated to her work – and finding the real story whatever the cost - but there’s also a level of catharsis in her job too, which Knightley also finds in her work. When asked which role has been the most therapeutic in her career, Knightley revealed: "I think all of them are. There’s always a level of catharsis in quite a lot of them." But she added: "In Black Doves, I get the mum rage out by smashing people up, I'm like, 'This is brilliant'. But I think that's what I look for. "I look to exercise bits of my psyche through a character, through a place where it's not real, but I can go into these depths and explore those things. I think that's what's fun about my job." Another part of the appeal of this partic…

Though his secret is still somewhat contained, James Callis has teased how that information may come back to haunt him and continue to unravel in season 5. "In this season, it's a different thing,” he tells RadioTimes.com. "To be honest, they came to me with a lot of ideas, I had a rap sheet of potential Claude peccadillo's and we chose one that we thought was the most fitting.” Before the actor teased: "He's compromised, but through his own actions, if he'd been smarter with the journalist at the very beginning [in episode one], he probably wouldn't be in this mess. So again, it's like you do it to yourself." For his second season in the spy drama, Callis felt as though he was “cooking with gas” coming back to the “familiarity” of the cast, unlike Claude, who is still finding his feet in the cut-throat environment. Even though he has a new-found confidence again this season, Callis warns it might not last. “I think that’s, spoiler alert, a certain amount of misplaced confidence,” he says, “When you have one idea, you're basically like a kid on a bike with the training wheels, and then they take the training wheels off. It's like, ‘maybe we should have waited a couple of weeks. That's when you had that bad accident, when the bike took off down a thing and you went into a tree.’” “It reminds me of a Radiohead song, which I think a lot, it’s like ‘You do it to yourself. You do. You and no one else.

description: The actor made the discovery as he was preparing to play the serial killer.
encoded: Most actors who appear in a dramatisation of a true story research the real-life person behind their character, but Charlie Hunnam arguably went one step further when preparing for the lead role in Monster: The Ed Gein Story. The third instalment in Netflix’s anthology series follows the prolific serial killer Ed Gein, who murdered a number of women and exhumed bodies from graveyards in the 1950s. Despite the wide notoriety of Gein’s crimes, there are no public videos or tapes of the trial that Hunnam could have referred to in his research. There were rumours of one tape being recorded during his imprisonment but no one could track it down. So, Hunnam set out to. “There is one tape that's very obscure that was never released because a) Ed never stood trial for his crimes because he was deemed medically unfit because of his psychological disorders,” he told RadioTimes.com. “But they'd also never read him his Miranda rights, and he was also beaten up while he was in jail and so these tapes were just sort of put in a drawer and never released to the world. I'd heard about them, but nobody could find them.” He added: “I ultimately did find them, but only about three or four days before we started to shoot.” It was a historic discovery, but Hunnam had already set about crafting his own unique accent for Gein of a “gentle, high-pitched voice”, which he created through his own research prior to filming. Part of his introduction to the story which he knew “very little” about before being cast, was a “three-hour” deep dive into the history of Gein’s crimes from director Ryan Murphy.

encoded: Charlie Hunnam has revealed how he created the distinctive accent for serial killer Ed Gein in the latest instalment of Netflix’s anthology series: Monster: The Ed Gein Story. The actor, best known for his roles in Sons of Anarchy and The Gentlemen, didn’t have any real material to draw from to build Gein’s voice, as the one recording of him was only discovered just before filming began. “That voice that I use grew out of my research,” Hunnam told RadioTimes.com, "and the thing that I couldn't stop thinking about was Ed's burning desire to get the love and affection and acceptance from his mother that he never got, who was the only person he ever had a relationship with in his life. “She told him every day for 41 years that she hated him because he'd not been born the daughter that she wanted. I thought if you don't have any other contact with the outside world, you only have a relationship with one person, and that person tells you every day that she hates you because you're not a girl, what would that do, psychologically and emotionally? And how would that manifest in the body? “So, I thought this gentle, high-pitched voice might be a way that Ed gave permission to his mother to love him.” Alongside his own research into the infamous American serial killer, who murdered at least two women and exhumed corpses from local graveyards in the 50s, Hunnam also had a three-hour debrief from director Ryan Murphy that was like “watching a documentary”. When asked how much he knew about the true story prior to being cast, Hunnam responded: “Very little. I had a three-hour meeting with Ryan Murphy, I thought as a general meeting to get to know each other, I didn't know we were actually meeting to talk about Ed Gein. “But Ryan was in the process of breaking the story and figuring out his research, so he had spent the whole day writing and came to the meeting just 10 minutes late, but was effusively apologetic for being late, and then just started telling me that he'd lost trac…

encoded: It’s been over a year since Industry last aired, and viewers have been waiting with bated breath for an update on season 4, which is expected to land in January 2026. Ahead of the highly-anticipated new season, Myha’la, who plays Harper in the acclaimed drama, has opened up about what fans can expect from the next instalment. When asked by RadioTimes.com if she can tease anything about season 4, she replied: “Of course not [laughs]. No, I think you can expect from Industry what you can always expect from Industry. Drugs, sex, rock and roll. It's going to be great.” It comes as the actress tackles another toxic workplace in the tech biopic, Swiped. The film follows the career trajectory of Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, who in real life brought a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit against Tinder – ultimately reaching a settlement for an undisclosed sum and without admission of wrongdoing. Myha’la stars as Whitney’s best friend, Tisha, who is also subject to the misogyny and sexism seen in the film. Tisha, who is a fictional character based on several real people, plays a pivotal role in Whitney’s story, as she addresses that by not challenging the sexism to fit in with the ‘boys club’, she is in a way complicit. “If I were watching it and when I read it, I was just like, ‘Two things can be true at once’,” she explained about the nuance of Tisha’s position. She continued: “You can support your friend. You can have sympathy and empathy for what they're going through and you can also say, ‘Hey, I respect that this is what you're going through, but you're also mistreating me’. As someone who cares about you, you can care about me, too. "I think that mutual respect and acknowledgement is important, especially among friends. I think starting that dialogue is so important. You don't have to just blindly support someone because they're going through a hard time if they're also being... If they're not recognising the way their actions affect the people around th…

description: Lily James stars as the Bumble founder in the new film.
encoded: Biopics can often fall into two categories, those that are created in tandem with the estate or real person behind the camera and those that are retold, to the best of their ability, in a part-fictional tale. The latest tech biopic, Swiped, is the latter. Director Rachel Lee Goldenberg wanted to tell Whitney Wolfe Herd’s "inspiring" story as a woman navigating a male-dominated environment from a co-founder at Tinder to the founder of dating app, Bumble. However, Wolfe Herd is not legally allowed to talk about her time at Tinder due to a non-disclosure agreement she signed when she left, after accusing her former colleagues of sexual harassment. Tinder ultimately settled without any admission of wrongdoing for an undisclosed sum. Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Goldenberg explained that she set out to create as true-to-life a film as possible with the extensive evidence available online. "It was a huge responsibility to tell this story, and especially without speaking to her," she said. "It was super important to my writing partner and I and the whole team that we just did as much research as possible. "There's a ton of stuff out there. There are interviews with everyone involved, tons of articles. We pored over her court documents. The lawsuit is available online. We literally stalked everyone's old social media. We found old Vines that people had made to try to piece together like, 'Oh, OK. So, they were a couple here'." Naturally, some of the story had to be fictionalised due to the gaps in the complex puzzle of Wolfe Herd’s life. She added: “There’s some story shaping, but making sure that was all on a bed of as much deep research as we could do." Even with the NDA, Goldenberg wanted to tell this "cinematic" story, as she found it to be an empowering tale of a woman who "took some of the most difficult things that ever happened in her life and forged them into this great success". "I was reading interviews and articles with her and her talking about both …

description: The actor stars as Whitney Wolfe Herd in the new movie – which is coming to Disney+ this week.
encoded: Lily James has opened up about the motivation to take on her latest role as Whitney Wolfe Herd in the tech biopic Swiped. The film follows the youngest female self-made billionaire on her journey from a fresh-faced graduate, to a co-founder at Tinder, to the founder of the "revolutionary" dating app Bumble. The entrepreneur is still under a non-disclosure agreement with Tinder after she sued the company over claims of sexual harassment, and later reached a settlement for an undisclosed sum without admission of wrongdoing. In conversation with RadioTimes.com, James shared: "One of the things that really compelled me to want to be a part of this project and take on this role was this exploration of women being silenced and how to take away someone's right to speak their truth or tell their story is a very vicious act." She added: "I think it's a relevant and important conversation that we all need to be having." In the UK, the government has been working on the Employment Rights Bill, which would prevent employers from using NDAs to silence workplace harassment and abuse. In the film, James portrays the immense emotional distress – including panic attacks and anxiety – that came with being legally gagged from telling her side of the story, when the accusations were leaked to the press. "I think if this film can in any way, big or small, be a part or contribute to that topic, then I think everyone involved creatively would be really proud of that," James added. The actress admitted that while she didn’t know much about Wolfe Herd’s career before joining as a producer and star, she was intrigued to explore how a woman navigated a toxic male-dominated environment and still managed to come out on top. "I think her story is such an inspiring one and how she achieved so much in her professional career was extraordinary," James began. "But also the challenges she faced on a human level as a woman, and the way she overcame the struggles in her life. I really felt very empower…

description: Let's break it down.
encoded: The finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty has finally arrived, and is aptly named, At Last. Based on Jenny Han’s novels of the same name, the third season has been an agonising watch for viewers, as the love triangle only divided the Fisher brothers further, when Belly decided to marry Jeremiah. After he cheated on her, oh and just before (literally just before the wedding day), Conrad revealed that big secret – that he still loved Belly. By the finale, Belly has removed herself entirely from the situation. The Summer I Turned Pretty ending explained Belly's said goodbye to both of the Fisher boys, built a life for herself in Paris and entered a new era with a daring new bob, but Conrad got on the plane to Paris. He makes his way to her apartment and patiently waits for her arrival and she turns up on a moped with her friend/lover, Benito. They kiss and he leaves, so finally, Conrad is reunited with Belly. Once the shock subsides, they exchange awkward hugs and Conrad explains her has a conference in Brussels so thought he’d just pop by ahead of her birthday. Though Belly seems reluctant at first, she suggests they spend the day sightseeing before his train. Anxious, she puts on lipstick but berates herself for doing so and says she’ll just spend the day with him and send him on his way. Meanwhile, back in Boston, Jeremiah is preparing to host a dinner as a new up and coming chef with Denise and Taylor’s help. Jeremiah confesses that Conrad is in Paris to Denise and admits while the anticipation was agonising, he’s OK with it knowing there together now, as so much time has passed. As he suggests getting a new couch for their apartment, Denise reveals that she’s moving to San Francisco with Steven as they’ve been given seed funding for their project. He’s thrilled for her, but she tells him not to tell anyone as Steven hasn’t told Taylor yet. Cue Taylor’s entrance. She’s outraged and declares everything is ruined as the bar they were meant to host the dinner in also h…

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is a tribute to its present and past matriarchs

description: The new film puts the beloved period drama's iconic women at the front and centre.
encoded: Since its small-screen debut back in 2010, Downton Abbey has closely followed the ever-evolving position that women held in the early 1900s though the three Crawley sisters, Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery), Edith (Laura Carmichael) and (in her time) Sybil Crawley (Jessica Brown Findlay). From taking on men’s roles during the war to choosing to work when it was over, adopting more androgynous styles and haircuts and fighting for a right to inherit property, it’s been a riveting ride through the roaring twenties and beyond for women’s liberation. Despite being set in a repressive time for women, Downton has always felt at its core very forward-thinking and the franchise’s final outing is no different. In The Grand Finale, the Crawley family are once again hit by a scandal of Mary’s own making, when it’s announced in the papers that she is now divorced from her former husband, Henry Talbot (Matthew Goode). The news sets her social circle ablaze and Mary is swiftly shunned as a social pariah and even dismissed from a family friend’s home, as their guests cannot bear to be in the same room as a divorced woman. In a stark change of tone to the early series, even Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) is outraged by her unfair dismissal as everyone’s tolerance for the double standards towards women starts to tire. Surprisingly, it’s Edith who comes to her sister’s aid by luring the locals back to Downton to stomach Mary’s presence, as the renowned playwright Noel Coward will be there too. Gone is the catty sisterly friction between Edith and Mary, in its place a mutual respect for each other. Edith uses her prestigious position in society as a ‘great lady’ as leverage to bargain for a snake’s silence and protect Mary’s reputation. No longer do the Crawley women cower from scandal, but they face the potential storms together and refuse to be threatened by men who want to exploit their power over them. The Grand Finale is a tribute to the present and past matriarchs of Downton Abbey a…
