Stranger Things favourite joins James Bond contender in all-star romantic comedy
Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro lead the cast.
Universal Pictures’ One Night Only has expanded its cast, with Maya Hawke among the new additions. Alongside Hawke, who's best known for playing Robin Buckley in the Netflix sci-fi hit Stranger Things, other newcomers to the cast include Julia Fox (Uncut Gems), King Princess (Nine Perfect Strangers), Ziwe (Succession) and Este Haim (Licorice Pizza), according to Deadline. While details of their parts remain under wraps, they’re all set to star in supporting roles, according to the publication. They join previously announced cast members Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown), Molly Ringwald (Riverdale), LeVar Burton (Picard) and James Bond contender Callum Turner (The Capture). Directed by Will Gluck, the movie is based on his rewrite of Travis Braun’s Black List script, which follows two strangers (Barbaro and Turner) who attempt to find someone to sleep with on the one night that premarital sex is legal. Details of Gluck’s version remain under wraps, and it’s unclear whether it will stay true to the original premise. Jacqueline Monetta, VP at Olive Bridge Entertainment, will oversee and produce with Gluck.

Netflix has confirmed the release window for Lupin season 4 – and it’s the biggest gap between instalments yet. Lupin seasons 1 and 2 were both released in 2021, with season 3 following in 2023. The fourth season of the French mystery thriller, which is set to see Omar Sy reprise his leading role, is set to premiere in autumn 2026. Season 4 will pick up after the shocking events of the previous seasons, which saw the world-famous thief Assane Diop end up behind bars after turning himself into the police. This was after he’d stolen the Black Pearl, captured the hearts of the French public, faked his own death and saved his estranged mother’s life. Production on season 4 began back in May, and is yet to conclude. “I often say that Lupin is an extraordinary plaything. I find great joy in it every time,” Sy said in a statement at the time. He continued: “Together with Netflix, Carrousel, and Gaumont, we’ve invested the time needed to raise our ambitions and deliver even more surprises and enjoyment, both for us and the audience. "The fresh energy from Carrousel Studios aligns perfectly with this vision. I’m eager to share the new episodes with as many people as possible.” Alongside Sy, season 4 will see Ludivine Sagnier return as Claire, Antoine Gouy as Benjamin Ferel, Soufiane Guerrab as detective Youssef Guedira, Shirine Boutella as lieutenant detective Sofia Belkacem.

A trailer has been released for upcoming sports biopic Giant, which tells the real-life story of boxing icon Prince Naseem "Naz" Hamed. The film, which stars El-Masry (Wolf Hall) as the British Yemeni boxer and Pierce Brosnan as his trainer Brendan Ingle, follows the highs and lows of Naz’s career, charting his journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of Britain’s most famous Muslim sporting stars in the 1990s. The trailer shows Brendan taking Naz under his wing, as he tells the young boxer: “100 wannabe fighters have walked through that door. You’ve got what they haven’t." In another scene, Brendan tells him: “They hate you because you’re different. Embrace it”. Giant also explores Naz’s turbulent relationship with Brendan, which starts to unravel as Naz finds fame. “You shouldn’t take credit for my success”, Naz tells Brendan in the footage, to which Brendan responds: "You’re selfish and arrogant." Brendan retorts: "You nurtured that arrogance." Alongside El-Masry and Brosnan, the cast is rounded out by Katherine Dow Blyton as Alma Ingle, Olivia Barrowclough as Vicki Quinn, Elika Ashoori as Caira Hamed, Austin Haynes as Trev, and Rocco Haynes as Mikey. Giant has been written by Rowan Athale, who is best-known for his work on Gangs of London, while Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) serves as the film’s executive producer. The official synopsis promises a plot "based on the remarkable real-life story of legendary British-Yemeni boxing champion Prince Naseem "Naz" Hamed". It continues: "Charting his inspiring rags-to-riches underdog tale from his humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming champion of the world and a global sporting icon in the 1990s, the film explores the unlikely and tender relationship between Naz and his Irish boxing trainer Brendan Ingle; and the instrumental role that Ingle played on his road to success." Giant is coming to UK cinemas on 9th January 2026. Check out more of our Film coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

What does Netflix acquiring Warner Bros Discovery mean for viewers like you? Streaming giant confirms acquisition plans
What could the deal mean for the price of your Netflix subscription increase and the future of cinema-going?
One of the biggest shifts in the entertainment industry for decades is about to occur, as Netflix has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO. The development comes after a drawn-out bidding war for the WBD's assets between Netflix and rivals Paramount and Comcast. The deal is worth nearly $83 billion and is expected to close in 2026. The streamer said the cash and stock transaction is valued at $27.75 per WBD share, with a total enterprise value of approximately $82.7 billion (equity value of $72.0 billion). The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026 after Warner Bros completes its planned separation of its studio and streaming assets under Warner Bros from its linear television business under Discovery Global, with Netflix getting its hands on the Warner Bros side. However, there could be big roadblocks ahead for the deal, which is yet to be approved by competition authorities. US President Donald Trump has flagged potential competition concerns over Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros, saying at an event in Washington DC that it “could be a problem” because a combined Netflix-Warner Bros would “have a very big market share”. He also said he will be involved in the process of approving the acquisition. To complicate matters further, Paramount Skydance – which has been trying to acquire Warner Bros for some time now – said on Monday that it has made another offer to buy Warner Bros Discovery. Paramount, which is backed by the Ellison family, said it was making a direct offer to shareholders of $30 per share to take the entire company, including its traditional TV networks which are excluded from the Netflix deal. It said it is proposing a “superior” alternative to the Netflix deal, and argued that it had a greater prospect of approval by regulators. But if Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros does go ahead, what would it mean for Netflix subscribers? And how could ownership from a streaming giant change things for Warner Bros which is, at its heart, a movie studio? Read on for everything we know so far. What does Netflix acquiring Warner Bros Discovery mean for viewers like you? It’s not a done deal yet, and you’re not going to instantly have access to a host of new titles on Netflix, but eventually it will mean that the streamer will gain access to the vast library of Warner Bros' content, which includes the Harry Potter and DC Comics franchises. Netflix will also get hold of all HBO shows, which include Succession and Game of Thrones. The streamer will also take control of an extensive TV archive that includes Friends and The Big Bang Theory, both of which are scheduled to be removed from Netflix at the end of the year, and classic movies such as Casablanca and Citizen Kane. In a statement shared on Friday, Ted Sarandos, the co-chief executive of Netflix, said "Our mission has always been to entertain the world. "By combining Warner Bros' incredible library of shows and movies – from timeless classics like Casablanca and Citizen Kane to modern favourites like Harry Potter and Friends – with our culture-defining titles like Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game, we'll be able to do that even better. "Together, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling." David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros Discovery, said: "Today's announcement combines two of the greatest storytelling companies in the world to bring to even more people the entertainment they love to watch the most.” Will Warner Bros continue releasing movies in cinemas? In the acquisition announcement on Friday, Netflix said it "expects to maintain Warner Bros' current operations and build on its strengths, including theatrical releases for films". In a similar vein, Sarandos said on a conference call with investors and press that Netflix will “continue to support” a “life cycle that starts in the movie theatre” for Warner Bros films, but added that he doesn’t think “long exclusive windows” are consumer-friendly. He noted that Netflix has released 30 films in cinemas in 2025, though most of those movies had a shorter theatrical run than those from a typical studio. Netflix's cinema releases in 2025 have included Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite. Could the price of Netflix subscriptions increase? Naturally, another question on many viewers’ lips is whether the acquisition will affect their monthly subscription cost. At present, the answer to this is unknown, but it seems rather likely that Netflix will hike prices in order to offset acquisition costs. Currently, Netflix's lowest price tier is the Standard with Ads-tier for £5.99 a month, and after that it's £12.99 a month for Standard and £18.99 for Premium.

The BRITs 2026 confirm British comedy favourite turned Hollywood actor as host
The show is moving north for the first time in its nearly 50-year history.
Jack Whitehall has been announced as host of the BRIT Awards 2026. The comedian and actor, who has appeared in the likes of Jungle Cruise, Clifford the Big Red Dog and the recent Prime Video thriller Malice, will return to present the ceremony for the sixth time. He shared the news in an “Ode to Manchester”, where the show is taking place next year, on his Instagram account. The sketch sees Whitehall moving in front of a green scene that displays many of the city’s landmarks, from the set of Coronation Street to the Curry Mile, while various things associated with Manchester, including barm cakes and rain, are also mentioned. Whitehall said in a statement: “I am so excited to be coming back for this very special BRIT Awards in Manchester, a place that is so important to me. “The city I started my comedy career in, it feels like a real full circle moment returning to host this historic night at the Co-op Live, a venue that is only a stone’s throw away from the comedy club I did my first 10-minute set in all those years ago. Hopefully I get a few more laughs than I did that night. I cannot wait.” Whitehall returned to host the BRITs 2025 earlier this year, having previously presented in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Mo Gilligan took on presenting duties in 2022 and 2023, while Maya Jama, Clara Amfo and Roman Kemp co-hosted in 2024. Stacey Tang, chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee and co-president of RCA Records at Sony Music UK, said: "Jack is absolutely brilliant at his craft so we are thrilled to welcome him back and excited for the fun and mischief he’s bound to bring to the show again this year. "His legacy hosting the awards speaks for itself and as the BRITs enters a new era, in a city familiar to him, there’s nobody better placed to take the helm of the biggest night in music.” The BRIT Awards 2026 will take place on Saturday 28th February 2026.

Home and Away confirmed for major UK broadcasting change in "natural next step"
Fans will still be able to watch the soap every day.
5 has revealed that Home and Away will leave its familiar daytime slot next year. The Australian soap has held the same 1:45pm weekday timeslot on the channel for years. But when the show – which went on its annual winter hiatus last week – returns in January, it will no longer be airing on the main channel. 5 said in a statement that the show is "moving exclusively to streaming for daytime viewing", meaning fans who still want to watch it during the day will have to use 5’s streaming app and view it on demand. There will be no change to the 5Star showings, with the newest episode at 6.30pm and another chance to watch the previous day’s episode at 6pm. Back in March, 5 started releasing new episodes of the soap at 6am every weekday ahead of linear broadcast. “Viewing hours surged by 17 per cent year-on-year in its first month, confirming strong early adoption," the statement from 5 explained. “This momentum continued throughout the year with every month outperforming its counterpart from the previous year. “Audiences have now become accustomed to accessing the title via streaming; the latest month delivered record-breaking engagement, with viewing hours climbing 23% year-on-year." Greg Barnett, commissioning editor at 5, added: “Home and Away has been a phenomenal success for us on streaming. Viewers have fully embraced the flexibility of on-demand viewing, driving double-digit year-on-year growth and making streaming the preferred way to watch the show. “Moving daytime episodes exclusively to streaming is a natural next step, reflecting how audiences want to engage with their favourite content.” Home and Away airs weekdays at 1:45pm on 5.

The War Between the Land and the Sea overnight ratings revealed for double bill premiere
The double-bill premiere saw the military organisation UNIT forced to deal with the arrival of an ancient species...
The overnight ratings have been revealed for the double-bill premiere of The War Between the Land and the Sea. The Doctor Who spin-off, which is created by Russell T Davies, arrived on BBC One on Sunday (7th December). And it's off to a strong start, with an average of 2.82m viewers watching the first episode, while an average of 2.05m viewers tuned into the second instalment on BBC One. These figures bettered the overnight ratings of any episode of Doctor Who from season 14 or 15 (barring the Christmas specials), although it’s worth noting that the new spin-off has a different release model. While season 15 saw episodes dropping at 8am on BBC iPlayer before airing on BBC One later that same day and season 14 released its episodes on iPlayer at midnight – a full 19 hours before broadcasting on linear TV – episodes of The War Between the Land and the Sea are being released at the same time as broadcast on BBC One. Set in the Whoniverse, The War Between the Land and the Sea follows Barclay (Russell Tovey) as he's selected from obscurity to become humanity's ambassador when an ancient species, the Sea Devils, suddenly rear their heads. Tovey leads the series alongside Gugu Mbatha-Raw, while Ruth Madeley, Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient reprise their roles from Doctor Who as Shirley Bingham, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Colonel Ibrahim, respectively. Davies recently spoke of his pride in how the series has turned out, telling Radio Times magazine: “It is enormously entertaining. It is epic and scary and tough and romantic – you’ll be gobsmacked by it.” Watch Davies and some of the stars of The War Between the Land and the Sea talk to Radio Times below: View Green Video on the source website The War Between the Land and the Sea will continue on Sunday 14th December.

Nativity! soundtrack: Full list of songs in the film
The Martin Freeman-starring musical comedy Nativity! is available to watch on Netflix.
Last year marked 15 years since the Martin Freeman-starring musical comedy Nativity! first landed on our screens and charmed fans with its lovable performances, hilarious storyline and catchy soundtrack – and now, the film is back on BBC iPlayer and Netflix for the holiday period. The movie, released in 2009, centres around the story of once-actor-now-primary-school-teacher Paul (Martin Freeman), who is tasked with producing the year’s nativity play, despite his disdain for Christmas. After lying to a rival primary school teacher (private school headmaster Gordon Shakespeare, played by Jason Watkins) that a Hollywood producer will be coming to watch the performance, things soon spiral out of control and Paul must find a way to resolve the mess. Alongside Freeman, Call the Midwife’s Pam Ferris, Shetland’s Ashley Jensen and Alan Carr also star in the cast of the movie. Speaking to the BBC last November about the film’s enduring popularity, writer and director Debbie Isitt said: "Because it’s on Netflix every Christmas and on the BBC a lot, it just seems to find a new audience." She added that the idea for the film came when she went to see her daughter's nativity, saying: "I thought, this could make a really good film, because the children were just hilarious." The first film was a huge success and went on to spawn three sequels, all written and directed by Isitt. "I love them all, but I think the original is probably always going to be close to my heart," she added. Wondering which songs feature in the film? Read on for everything you need to know about the soundtrack.

Gary Lineker among celebs cut from Celebrity Apprentice 2025 special after appearances filmed
The Rest Is Football host filmed scenes for the BBC's Celebrity Apprentice Christmas special back in March.
Gary Lineker’s appearance has been cut from the BBC's Celebrity Apprentice 2025 Christmas special. The ex-footballer and pundit, who stepped down as host of flagship football programme Match of the Day earlier this year, is among the famous faces who have not made the edit in the upcoming Celebrity Apprentice specials for Children in Need, after filming scenes back in March. RadioTimes.com understands that Lineker was one of multiple celebrities who filmed videos for the show, which didn’t make the final cut in the planned episode due to time constraints. However, these celebrity videos are expected to be shared online in the coming weeks as the specials air. The upcoming Celebrity Apprentice specials will see 12 star candidates head to Lapland, where they’ll be tasked with making and selling festive biscuits. Lord Sugar’s assistant Baroness Karren Brady said of the special upon its announcement last month: “There are so many people that are coming to help us, and they’re coming because they love the show, they love the charity, and clearly they have a connection with the celebrities. “So Olivia Colman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Robbie Williams. Piers Morgan – I don’t think we should forget that one. And Rylan Clark and Gary Lineker.” Lord Sugar added: “I was very impressed that they managed to call these people in, they are top names. “The main thing is that these celebrities, and I have a lot of respect for them, is they give up three days of their busy time for this great cause, it’s the money that’s raised for Children in Need.” Lineker left the BBC back in May after sharing a now-deleted social media post that was deemed antisemitic by various groups on social media. Lineker later “apologised unreservedly” and said he deleted the post "as soon as I became aware of the issue", adding that he would “never knowingly share anything antisemitic”. He has since gone on to present an upcoming game show on ITV called The Box, and will be bringing his The Rest Is Football podcast to Netflix for daily instalments during the 2026 World Cup alongside Alan Shearer and Micah Richards. The Celebrity Apprentice will air on Monday 29th December and Tuesday 30th December at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Kiefer Sutherland offers fresh 24 update as producer completes pitch for revival
"Hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later!”
Kiefer Sutherland has provided a big update on the revival of Fox’s hit real-time thriller 24. A new 24 project was recently confirmed to be in development by showrunner Howard Gordon, following teases by Sutherland about a new script that could bring back Jack Bauer and revive the franchise. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times Magazine in a new interview, Sutherland revealed that Gordon has completed an outline for the potential revival. Asked whether he ever reminisces about his character Jack Bauer and considers ‘what if?’, Sutherland said: “I’ve had conversations with [series producer] Howard Gordon.” He added: “He’s come up with an outline, which I think is an exciting step forward. We’ll see what happens. But I’m very open to it. And hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later!” 24 premiered in 2001 and ran for nine seasons as well as a two-hour movie, becoming hugely successful with viewers. The show followed counter-terrorist federal agent Jack Bauer as he raced to defend the United States from various threats. The feature that set the series apart from other thrillers was its use of real time, with each episode covering an hour in a day in the life of Bauer. "It’s absolutely in process, there’s something we are developing," Gordon told Deadline of the revival last month, although he noted that Disney, which now owns the rights to 24 following its acquisition of 20th Television (formerly 20th Century Fox Television), has not yet committed to the project. He continued: "I have such a nostalgia for that show, and I think Kiefer does too. One thing we couldn't figure out for a long time was a direction that ever held water, that sustained itself. This feels like it could be, but it’s not formal, it’s not done." He added that he had reservations about reviving the franchise. "What I really don't want to happen is that it's not good because I don't think that's fair to the show. It's not fair to the fans, not fair to, frankly, to myself,” he said. "So it has to be something that you connect to, or at least you tell yourself you're connected to. It may not turn out very well, but you have to at least believe that it's something.” The Christmas double issue of Radio Times is out now – subscribe here. 24 is available to stream on Disney+.

How to watch Heated Rivalry – can you stream it in the UK?
The LGBTQ+ sports romance has got everyone talking.
Heated Rivalry is taking the internet by storm and there looks to finally be some good news for UK fans desperate to watch it. Thanks to the electric chemistry and explicit scenes between leads Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, the Canadian LGBTQ+ sports romance has got people talking and is quickly growing in popularity – with some of its more NSFW clips doing the rounds on social media. Based on the novel of the same name by Rachel Reid, the show follows the secret and burgeoning romance between hockey rivals Shane Hollander (Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Storrie). Speaking about how he clicked “instantly” with Williams during the audition process, Storrie — who plays Ilya Rozanov, a Russian-American player for the Boston Raiders — recently recounted to Out Magazine: “Hudson was the third actor that I read with. "The first two I was like, ‘Okay, this is cool,’ and then Hudson came on. Jacob actually texted me directly and was like, ‘What do you think?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, Hudson, for sure.’ Instantly." Williams, who plays Montreal Metros pro Shane Hollander, said: "I read with one other possible Ilya, and it was good. But something about Connor… There was an inexplicable X-factor that just felt realer than what I thought it could possibly be." He added: "And that was something. I had a quote I told Jacob, at one point, about my read with Connor in particular." On casting the pair, creator Jacob Tierney told Deadline: “This show lives and dies with them, so we needed to make sure that this worked together. There are terrific actors who are in, you know… They’re just in different shows. You need to find the people who are going to be together in the same show, and that’s what the two of them had quite instantly." With that in mind, fans across the globe might be wondering how they can watch the sports drama. If that's you, read on for all the latest streaming options. How to watch Heated Rivalry online If you live in Canada, you can watch the hockey drama on Crave. In the US, the series is airing exclusively on HBO Max. The first two episodes are now available to stream on the platform with subsequent episodes dropping every Friday. On 19th November, it was announced that Heated Rivalry had been acquired by HBO Max for US and Australian distribution, with the series debuting nine days later on 28th November. Despite this quick turnaround which meant there was minimal time for advertising, the series quickly soared into the Top 10 chart of HBO Max’s most-watched series.

Exactly which shows will be available to British viewers at that point remains to be seen but Heated Rivalry's popularity and its place on the streamer in other locations looks to be a positive sign.

Wuthering Heights 2026 director wants film to be "this generation’s Titanic" – as Margot Robbie responds to casting backlash
“It’s going to be an amazing date movie."
Emerald Fennell has said she hopes her adaptation of Wuthering Heights resonates with audiences as strongly as James Cameron's monumental romance film Titanic. The upcoming movie, which is a take on Emily Brontë's 1847 novel of the same name, follows the passion-fuelled and tumultuous relationship between Catherine Earnshaw (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi), an orphan adopted by her landowning family. Following the release of the trailer, which paired Anthony Willis's classical score with music by Charli xcx and showed Margot Robbie’s Catherine in a 1980s-style wedding dress, many fans were quick to criticise the film’s seemingly erotic, modern tone. Responding to this criticism in a new interview about the film with British Vogue, Robbie said: "I think people will be surprised. Not to say there aren’t sexual elements and that it’s not provocative — it definitely is provocative — but it’s more romantic than provocative. "This is a big epic romance. It’s just been so long since we’ve had one — maybe The Notebook, also The English Patient. You have to go back decades." Speaking about how she discussed the film’s intimate scenes with Fennell, she added: “What reads to us as hot or exciting or sexy?’ And it’s not just a sex position or someone taking their shirt off. "It was the little things that we loved as two women in our 30s, and this movie is primarily for people in our demographic. These epic romances and period pieces aren’t often made by women.” Talking about the film’s tone, Robbie said that Fennell had Titanic in mind. "In one of our first conversations about this film, I asked Emerald what her dream outcome was. She said, ‘I want this to be this generation’s Titanic. I went to the cinema to watch Romeo & Juliet eight times and I was on the ground crying when I wasn’t allowed to go back for a ninth. I want it to be that.’” She added that their hope is that women “go see it with 10 of their female friends” and that “it’s going to be an amazing date movie". Titanic, of course, stars Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack and Kate Winslet’s Rose and has parallels to Wuthering Heights in that it follows two people from different social classes embarking upon a romance. The anachronistic elements in Fennell's adaptation haven’t been the only things sparking backlash, with many fans also criticising the film for aging up the characters, who are teenagers for much of the novel’s plot (Elordi is 28 and Robbie is 35), as well as for erasing Heathcliff’s non-white background. Speaking about Robbie, Fennell told the publication: “It’s difficult to find that supersized star power,” she said. “Margot comes with big dick energy. That’s what Cathy needs.” Read more: What films are out in UK cinemas this week? Reviews from Wake Up Dead Man to Zootropolis 2 Blue Moon true story: How Richard Linklater tackles Rodgers and Hart story with "fanciful imagination" Meanwhile, responding to backlash specifically over the new Cathy being blonde rather than brunette, as she is in the novel, Robbie said: “I get it” because “there’s nothing else to go off at this point until people see the movie”. Talking about Elordi's casting, she added: “I saw him play Heathcliff. And he is Heathcliff. I’d say, just wait. Trust me, you’ll be happy. "It’s a character that has this lineage of other great actors who’ve played him, from Laurence Olivier to Richard Burton and Ralph Fiennes to Tom Hardy. To be a part of that is special. He’s incredible and I believe in him so much. "I honestly think he’s our generation’s Daniel Day-Lewis.” Wuthering Heights will be released in cinemas on 13th February 2026.

Game of Thrones' new spin-off series gets final epic trailer with Targaryen chaos - as its second season gets major update
Our return to Westeros is fast approaching.
Sky has unveiled the final trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms ahead of the series' premiere. The six-part series, which is based on George RR Martin's popular trio of Dunk and Egg novellas and will serve as a prequel to Game of Thrones, will be released on Sky and NOW on 19th January 2026, with episodes airing weekly. Set 100 years before Game of Thrones, and 72 years after House of the Dragon, the story will take a view of Westeros from the ground up, following Dunk and his resourceful squire “Egg”, who is actually the young Aegon V Targaryen, as they journey through the Seven Kingdoms. The footage shows the lowly hedge knight arriving in the small town of Ashford Meadow in the middle of the Reach in Westeros, where he attempts to earn some money by entering a tourney as a knight - only to be mocked by those around him - and appears to have a lighter tone than Game of Thrones. The trailer also gives fans a first look at the series’ take on the Targaryens, and they’re certainly not being put on the pedestal we're used to. "If I can call myself a champion, some great house might take me into its service, perhaps even house Targayren", Dunk says, before Raymun (Shaun Thomas) warns him that Targaryens are "incestuous aliens" and "tyrants". Watch the trailer for yourself below: View oEmbed on the source website The release of the trailer comes as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms gears up to start shooting its second season. Showrunner Ira Parker announced the news at HBO Max's presentation in London on Wednesday (3rd December), revealing that season 2 is set to begin production next week in Belfast, Ireland. The second season is expected to premiere in 2027. Parker previously revealed that the Game of Thrones spin-off will break from franchise tradition in a big way. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Parker revealed the new series won’t feature the grand title sequence that was present in both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. Talking about how this decision was made in order to reflect the attitude of main character Dunk, Parker said: "All decisions came down to Dunk, trying to channel the type of person he is into every aspect of this show, even the title sequence." He continued: "The title sequences on the original [Game of Thrones] and House of Dragon are big and epic and incredible. Ramin Djawadi’s score is orchestral and large and beautiful. That's not really Dunk’s MO. He’s plain and he’s simple and he’s to-the-point. He doesn't have a lot of flash to him." A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be released on 18th January on HBO. House of the Dragon series 1 and 2 are available to stream on Sky and NOW – find out more about how to sign up for Sky TV.

Helen Mirren and Lesley Manville among acting legends confirmed for batch of acclaimed live theatre broadcasts
National Theatre Live has confirmed three new titles for its 2026 slate, which join the previously announced Hamlet.
The Thursday Murder Club’s Dame Helen Mirren and The Crown’s Lesley Manville are among the acting legends set to appear in a series of National Theatre (NT) Live cinema shows in 2026. The shows, captured in front of a live audience, will be shown in cinemas across the UK. Mirren will star as Queen Elizabeth II in Olivier and Tony Award-winning hit production The Audience, which is returning to cinemas from 26th February (UK only) for the first time in over a decade. The Audience, which is directed by Stephen Daldry and written by Peter Morgan, centres on weekly meetings between Queen Elizabeth II and each of her prime ministers. The production was the inspiration for Netflix hit The Crown, also penned by Morgan. From 28th May, cinema audiences can watch Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton), Éanna Hardwicke (Saipan) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) in John Millington Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World, directed by Caitriona McLaughlin (Artistic Director of the Abbey Theatre). The Playboy of the Western World tells the tale of Pegeen Flaherty, whose life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming he has killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer, Christy Mahon, becomes a local hero. That is, until a second man arrives on the scene… The cinematic production will be captured from its run in the Lyttelton theatre, where it will play until 28th February. From 25th June, Manville will star alongside Aidan Turner (Rivals) and Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown) in a new staging of Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The play follows Marquise de Merteuil, who is a master in the art of survival and joins forces with the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont in order to turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. That is, until their alliance collapses into rivalry, and the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path. The production will be captured from its run in the Lyttelton Theatre, where it will be playing from 21st March to 6th June. The three productions join the previously announced Hamlet, which was captured from its run at the National Theatre earlier this year, which will kick off the 2026 NT Live Slate in cinemas on 22nd January. Matt Risley, the National Theatre’s Chief Digital Officer, said in a statement: "It has been a blockbuster year for NT Live and 2026 is already shaping up to follow suit. This year we’ve had over 1.2 million admissions worldwide, across six releases, and the momentum shows no sign of slowing down. As we shape the programme of NT Live, we always place audiences at the centre of our programme, and we believe our growing slate will resonate with audiences around the world." He continued: “It’s brilliant that we’re able to bring back The Audience to the UK after over ten years, an often-requested fan-favourite, alongside two of the most highly anticipated productions of the National Theatre’s new season.” If you're looking for more to watch on your television, check out our TV Guide.

The launch of the platform will mark the first time viewers can watch HBO content somewhere other than Sky.
The long-awaited launch of HBO Max in the UK and Ireland will take place in March 2026, it has been confirmed. The launch window was unveiled for the first time by Casey Bloys, the content boss for HBO and Max, during a content showcase in London on Wednesday night (3rd December).

Discovery announced last year, HBO content will still be available to watch on Sky for free even after HBO Max's UK and Ireland launch, though it will no longer be the only place fans can access HBO content on those shores. Speaking during a content panel on Wednesday, Sky executive director of scripted originals Meghan Lyvers said she is optimistic about the situation. “What we have seen is that the majority of the titles on Sky that have performed and customers have responded to are Sky Originals. That is incredibly fortunate for us in terms of the shows that we’ve been asked from the business and the audiences to continue making,” she said. She added: “So our mantra is business as usual, which is we’re going to continue our strategy, we’re going to keep making the shows and keep delivering what we have been for the last couple of years.” Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Emily in Paris season 5: Release date and latest news
We now have an official release date! ***Contains major spoilers from Emily in Paris season 4 parts 1 and 2***
***Contains major spoilers from Emily in Paris season 4 parts 1 and 2*** Emily in Paris fans have finally been treated to their first glimpse of season 5 ahead of the series arriving on Netflix later this month. Confusingly, the new season won't actually be in Paris anymore and will pick up where season 4 left off, with our titular heroine heading up a new Agence Grateau office in Rome. However, as we can see in the trailer, she soon finds that her ideas aren't translating in Italy. "But Rome wasn't built in a day," she tells Luc (Bruno Gouery), who responds: "And yet it only took you one day to destroy it". Elsewhere in the footage, we also get a glimpse at a shock romance between Emily's ex Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) and best friend Mindy (Ashley Park). On the announcement of season 5 at the end of 2024, series creator Darren Star told TUDUM: "We’re thrilled with the incredible response to this season of Emily in Paris and excited to return for a fifth to continue Emily’s adventures in Rome and Paris!" Explaining that this doesn’t mean the name of the show is changing, Star added: “Emily’s going to have a presence in Rome. It doesn’t mean she’s not going to be in Paris, but she’s going to have a presence in Rome. Sending Emily to Italy to head up a new office was born out of Star’s desire to "stay ahead of the audience and take them to unexpected places," and show that the series "has the ability to have a bigger footprint". Read on for everything you need to know about the future of Emily in Paris. Emily in Paris season 5 release date All 10 episodes of Emily in Paris season 5 are set to be released on 18th December 2025 on Netflix - just in time for Christmas! Production on the fifth instalment began back in May, with the news confirmed with an exclusive sneak peek of Lily Collins enjoying la dolce vita on a vespa – how quintessentially Italian of her. The post was followed up with the caption: "She's starting" so we'll just have to wait and see what dramatic turns await Emily. View oEmbed on the source website Emily in Paris season 5 cast The confirmed cast for Emily season 5 include Collins as Emily, Ashley Park as Mindy, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julien and Bruno Gouery as Luc. Other characters who are returning include Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, William Abadie as Antoine, Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello, Thalia Besson as Genevieve, Paul Forman as Nico, Arnaud Binard as Laurent G), Minnie Driver as Princess Jane, Bryan Greenberg as Jake, and Michèle Laroque as Yvette. One member who we won't be seeing return for season 5 is Camille Razat as Camille. Speaking on her series exit in an Instagram post, Razat wrote: “After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris. It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories.” She continued: “This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons.” What is Emily in Paris season 5 about? The official plot synopsis reads: "Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city. But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks. It continues: "Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships. Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities." Season 5 will see Emily and Marcello firmly back on track after a minor bump in the road, and they look set to make a real go of things. “I feel like they have a real spark and a real connection and a real romantic connection. A lot of that’s going to continue to play out next season,” said Star of Marcello. However, in the season 4 finale, it became clear that Gabriel, who has finally earned his Michelin star, isn’t ready to let go of her after all. Will Gabriel win Emily back? And can they finally make a proper go of things now that Camille is out of the picture after deciding to adopt a child on her own? And it looks like Gabriel might not be the only old flame threatening to derail Emily's new romance in season 5. Asked whether there could still be a chance for Emily and Alfie in season 5, Alfie actor Lucien Laviscount told Glamour: "I think that door’s always going to be open. They had such an incredible time together, and they grew so much together as well." He continued: "It’d be foolish to say that love would be off the cards in the long run. I think they’ve got a mutual respect for each other as well, you know. When you greatly respect someone…" Season 5 can’t arrive quickly enough… Is there a trailer for Emily in Paris season 5? Yes, an official trailer for season 5 has been released. You can watch the footage below: View oEmbed on the source website Emily in Paris season 4 parts 1 and 2 are streaming now on Netflix.

Mr Men and Little Miss books confirmed for "bold and imaginative" feature film adaptation
The filmmakers behind the hugely successful Paddington franchise are teaming up again on an adaptation of the Mr Men and Little Miss book series.
StudioCanal and Heyday Films, who are behind the hugely successful Paddington franchise, are developing a feature film, titled Mr Men Little Miss, which will bring the beloved characters created by Roger Hargreaves to life for the very first time. Hargreaves began producing the Mr Men book series in 1971, before adding the Little Miss characters to the series in 1981. After his death in 1988, the series was restarted in 2003 by his son, Adam. In 2001, the rights to the characters were sold to the Japanese company Sanrio and, since then, the Mr Men and Little Miss brands have expanded their global reach, collaborating with brands including Transport for London, Heathrow Airport, Marks & Spencer, Uniqlo and Doctor Who. The new film will build on a Mr Men Little Miss animated series that’s now streaming on YouTube, and a second animated series that's currently in production for television. Heyday Films's David Heyman, whose production credits also include the Harry Potter franchise and Barbie, said in a statement that the new project "offers an irresistible opportunity for a bold and imaginative feature film adaptation". StudioCanal's Anna Marsh called the feature film "an undeniable opportunity for joy, mischief, and adventure – that we know will inspire and delight theatrical audiences, young and old, around the world today". Meanwhile, Sanrio's Tomokuni Tsuji said: "With more than 90 characters, Mr Men Little Miss stories will serve as ambassadors of joy, creating smiles and widening the circle of happiness." Adam Hargreaves added: "My father would have been thrilled and I can’t say how proud I am of his creation that it merits an appearance on the big screen. It’s a big step up for Mr Small.” Check out more of our Film coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Richard Armitage confirmed as "reckless" pathologist in "compelling" new police drama – and he's joined by a favourite from The Split
Filming is due to begin during early 2026.
PBS and ITV have commissioned a “compelling” police procedural starring Richard Armitage and Annabel Scholey. Based on the long-running French crime series Balthazar, Winter stars Armitage as Ethan Winter, an unconventional forensic pathologist, and Scholey as DI Lauren Bell, a no-nonsense detective, who are working together on a case in Bristol. “Together they make a formidable team, as Winter’s genius and insight into the victims is invaluable to Bell and her murder squad detectives,” the official synopsis teases. It continues: “Yet, Winter is harbouring a secret. The unsolved murder of someone close to him still haunts his every move, and he’s intent on unofficially investigating the death to bring the murderer to justice.” Winter is the latest collaboration between PBS and ITV, following in the footsteps of Downton Abbey, Professor T and Grantchester. ITV Studios-owned Eagle Eye is producing and ITV Studios is distributing. Armitage said in a statement: “The team behind Winter are second to none and the ambition of David Allison’s scripts is very exciting and will attempt to shake up the genre that we’ve grown to love. "Ethan Winter is a compelling character treading the line between diligent professional and reckless maverick. He has a painful secret and a fatalistic self-destruct button over which his finger constantly hovers. I’m thrilled to be returning to ITV." Scholey added: "I am thrilled to be joining ITV and Eagle Eye Drama as part of the Winter team, and to be working alongside the brilliant Richard Armitage on these fantastic scripts. Our characters’ tempestuous relationship will be a total thrill to explore, and I am excited to step into the wonderfully dry shoes of DI Lauren Bell." Winter will be directed by Dries Vos (The Couple Next Door, Professor T) and Kaat Beels (Professor T, The Twelve), while Matt Baker (Professor T) will produce. Jo McGrath and Walter Iuzzolino will executive produce the series on behalf of Eagle Eye Drama. David Allison (The Couple Next Door) and Mark Greig (Ashes to Ashes) are penning the adaptation. Filming is due to kick off in Bristol and Belgium during early 2026. Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Elsewhere, "Siegfried is back at Mrs Stokes’s Farm to see Hilda the goat, who’s been up to more mischief", while Mrs Hall is "keen to enter the Drovers' darts competition and scoop the first prize; a fresh turkey", which are in short supply due to the war. Mrs Hall is leading the Skeldale darts team and "wants everyone to practise" to boost their chances, "but an old friend turns up surprising her and Siegfried" – and leaving Siegfried with "an important decision to make".

"Addictive" drama series about scandalous Mitford sisters is set to head to BBC iPlayer
The show first aired on U and U&DRAMA earlier this year.
Outrageous, the period drama about the infamously non-conformist Mitford sisters, is heading to BBC iPlayer this week. The series first aired on U and U&DRAMA back in June, but the BBC has now confirmed it will be available to stream in full on the platform from Thursday 4th December. Based on Mary S Lovell’s best-selling biography, the series dramatises the lives of the aristocratic Mitford family, while focusing in on the diverging paths of Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah – the six sisters whose scandalous behaviour and extreme politics launched them to notoriety in the 1930s. In RadioTimes.com's review, we called the show an "addictive retelling" of the scandalous lives of the Mitford sisters, adding that the series is anchored by Bridgerton's Bessie Carter, who "delivers a standout performance as the wry and witty novelist, Nancy Mitford". "The real charm of the series is its ability to balance the dark and the light, honing in on the fact that, above all else, the Mitfords were a real family," our review added. Alongside Carter, Outrageous stars Zoe Brough as Jessica Mitford, Shannon Watson as Unity Mitford, Orla Hill as Deborah Mitford, Joanna Vanderham as Diana Mitford and Isobel Jesper Jones as Pamela Mitford. The cast is rounded out by James Purefoy as Farve, Anna Chancellor as Muv, Toby Regbo as Tom Mitford, Joshua Sasse as Oswald Mosley, Jamie Blackley as Peter Rodd, James Musgrave as Hamish Erskine, Calam Lynch as Bryan Guinness and Will Attenborough as Joss. Speaking about how getting to tell the story of the Mitfords was a great honour, Carter previously told RadioTimes.com: “The fact that we got to be the ones who dramatised it for the first time with Sarah Williams's amazing scripts, it feels really exciting.” She continued: "Hopefully, people can take a little bit of that female empowerment and that question of family. Like, let's have these conversations – if we all go in different directions, let's talk rather than run away."

Friends and The Big Bang Theory set to leave Netflix UK – and it's happening very soon
Fans will only have a matter of days to watch the series on the streamer...
Beloved sitcoms Friends and The Big Bang Theory will be leaving Netflix in the UK this month. Both series have been a mainstay of the streamer’s catalogue for years, but fans will only have a matter of days to binge-watch all seasons. The shows will be leaving the streamer due to the expiration of licensing agreements. After arriving in 2018, all 10 seasons of Friends are scheduled to leave Netflix UK on 30th December. The Big Bang Theory, which was first added to the streamer in February 2016 with subsequent seasons released annually until the show ended in 2019, will also be taken down from the platform that day. Friends, which ran between 1994 and 2004, followed six friends in their 20s and early 30s living in Manhattan, New York City. The show starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc and the late Matthew Perry. The Big Bang Theory ran between 2007 and 2019 and starred Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik, and Melissa Rauch. The series followed the lives of four socially-awkward scientists, and their neighbour, as they navigated their careers and love lives – or lack thereof. Over the years, both shows won numerous awards and became two of the most popular sitcoms of all time. Both series maintained cult followings well after their series finales. The Big Bang Theory might have come to an end back in 2019, but the show's success has already spawned two spin-offs: Young Sheldon and Georgy & Mandy's First Marriage.

The spin-off will see Kevin Sussman, Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn and John Ross Bowie reprise their roles as Stuart, Denise, Bert and Barry, respectively. Friends and The Big Bang Theory are now streaming on Netflix. Check out more of our Comedy coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Gavin & Stacey might have come to an end following last year’s Christmas finale, but stars Joanna Page and Mathew Horne are set to reunite this month in a new festive campaign from Waitrose.

The new six-part mini-series will launch on Waitrose’s social channels on 2nd December 2025, with new episodes dropping every Tuesday and Friday in the lead up until 19th December. You can watch the first episode in the series below: View oEmbed on the source website Joanna Page said: “You thought you’d seen the last of us! Well, we’re back and what fun we had. I love food, so it was such a treat working with Mat and Waitrose on this new mini-series. "From a delicious turkey pie to a mouth-watering mushroom wellington, food is what brings people together over the festive season.” Mathew Horne added: “It was brilliant to be back on set with Joanna – it’s become a Christmas tradition. We’re very familiar with the classic Christmas conundrums, but there’s nothing that some good food can’t fix. "If I haven’t eaten it all first! Jokes aside, food really is the perfect way to show your love this festive season.” Emily Angliss, Senior Social Marketing Manager at Waitrose, added: “This Christmas, we’re celebrating the magical role that food plays in bringing people together and showcasing love." She continued: "Our new series is a funny compilation of seasonal scenarios that bring this to life and inspire our customers to say it with food. As a duo that are synonymous with family, friendship and love at Christmas across the UK – Mathew and Joanna were the perfect fit.” How to Say It With Food follows the release of Waitrose’s romantic Christmas advert inspired by Love Actually, titled The Perfect Gift, which stars Keira Knightley and Joe Wilkinson.

Peter Kay reveals Netflix wanted Phoenix Nights on streaming service and why he turned them down
There was one condition that Kay couldn’t accept.
Peter Kay has claimed he turned down a Netflix offer for Phoenix Nights because there was one condition that he couldn’t accept. The comedian and TV writer co-created and starred in the 2000s comedy, which followed the highs and lows of the staff and customers at the fictional titular working men’s social club, and soon garnered a cult following. But the series reflected various attitudes and tropes of the late 1990s and early 2000s. And speaking recently on Capital Breakfast, Kay said that Netflix wanted to include a trigger warning making people aware of this at the start of every episode. "They got in touch with me last year, they wanted to put Phoenix Nights on Netflix. They rang me up and said, 'Can we license some of your shows to put on Netflix?'" he shared. "I said 'Oh'. Anyway, they sent me a load of paperwork. Basically, it’s not very politically correct now. This was made in a [different] time, do you know what I mean? "I just said I’m not keen on that, I don’t really want a warning before it. "So I just said, 'No I'll leave it'. Anyway they sent me an airfryer. I think that was trying to sweeten me."

Elsewhere in the interview, Kay said he is thinking of adapting Phoenix Nights into a film. He said: "I’m waiting for the de-aging process to come into fruition. Because the storyline involves a lot of flashbacks to the past, and I don’t want to be using really bad make-up to make people look young."
