Bridgerton star gives verdict on Whistledown season 4 twist: "I've taken everything out of it that I could possibly want"
Nicola Coughlan reveals what she made of that surprising Whistledown twist.
While the fourth season of Bridgerton was very much concerned with the love story of Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie (Yerin Ha), there was plenty else going on within the Ton. Now that the fifth season lead's love story has also been confirmed, fans can continue to ideate about how they think things will unfold – but season 4 also delivered quite the surprise ending. The fourth season of the hit Netflix drama saw Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) retire from being Whistledown after realising that a life in the spotlight wasn't one she wanted. But in season 4's final moments, Penelope is writing away at her desk once again. However, she's not writing Whistledown but a novel of her own, as she tells husband Colin (Luke Newton). Colin is left confused though, handing Penelope a copy of Whistledown before asking her who has written that. What a cliffhanger! Asking Coughlan what she made of the Whistledown twist while promoting the second season of Channel 4's Big Mood, the actress told Radio Times: "I think in a way, it's great because it's a show that keeps reinventing itself. Same thing – you have to hold on tightly, let go lightly. Like I loved leading that show, it's amazing but it's exhausting – it was so much work." She continued: "Yeah, you don't really have a life when you're doing it, which I was sort of fine with. It's about eight months filming and then it was like six months promotion around it. It was amazing but I've taken everything out of that that I could possibly want. "So then it's just lovely to pass it on to someone else. We're about to start filming season 5 and I think it's time to like... you know, it never focuses too long on any particular set of characters so it's lovely to see Florence [Hunt] and Will [Tilston] coming up and Hannah [Dodd]. I think it's great." She added: "I'll always pop in if they want me to! I'll be hanging around in the background sometimes for sure, if they need me."

When asked about whether the team behind the show already know who the new Whistledown is, showrunner Jess Brownell previously told Radio Times: "Shonda and I and all my writers know who Whistledown is and we’ve been writing to that. But that was what was really exciting to us was to A: let Penelope move onto a next chapter as a novelist, in her romance with Colin et cetera. "But I think once we revealed that Penelope was Whistledown at the end of season 1 and especially now that she’s come out publicly at the end of season 3, the stakes of it – we lost a bit of them in season 4." She continued: "It was really fun telling the story of her having to face some accountability with the people she’s written about, but it’s also so fun now to have red herrings and clues and have no one know because it’s not from the books at this point… Yeah we’re going a bit rogue."

Where is Saint-Pierre filmed? Locations for U&Alibi crime drama
The new crime drama boasts some pretty picturesque settings.
It's time to get stuck into another crime drama and this time round, it's been one that many Death in Paradise fans have been counting down the days to. With Saint-Pierre having already aired two seasons on the other side of the pond, UK viewers are in for a treat as Joséphine Jobert takes on a new leading role in the procedural series. There may be a couple of similarities between this new show and Jobert's defining role in Death in Paradise – but the actress says that the "vibe is different". Speaking to Radio Times, she said: "When I read this script, I thought that it has nothing to do with Death in Paradise. Death in Paradise, like Guadeloupe, Saint Marie is a character itself. And it’s the same for Saint-Pierre, the island of Saint Pierre is a character itself. But they are two different people. "You have the Caribbean and the sun whereas Saint Pierre is very cold, the vibe is different." But where exactly is Saint-Pierre filmed? Read on to find out. Where is Saint-Pierre filmed? Saint-Pierre is filmed on location in the French archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The series is also filmed in St John's, Newfoundland, Canada. While some may be wondering whether Saint-Pierre is a real place, it actually is and is situated in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. In fact, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is technically an archipelago, comprising of eight islands. While it is situated in North America, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is an oversees country and territory of the European Union, with its residents having EU citizenship and the Euro being the official currency. As you can see in the series itself, scenes are filmed all over the island, with shots of the harbour featuring prominently as well as venturing to various parts of the islands including l'île aux Marins. Speaking about her experience filming on location, series star Joséphine Jobert told Vacay.ca: "Even me, who is French, knew nothing about St Pierre, which is a beautiful French Territory. The residents live to their own rhythm, opening their shops when they feel like it. "I told myself calm down, relax, chill, and learn to adapt to their rhythm. I found the residents to be very kind, accommodating, happy, and proud. I think the residents were happy we put their island on the map. We would film for two to three weeks and then go to another location. … I was always nostalgic to return to St.-Pierre et Miquelon." Saint-Pierre airs on U&Alibi from 9pm on Wednesday 22 April 2026.

Joséphine Jobert explains how a specific Death in Paradise episode prepared her for new Saint-Pierre role
It turns out that one Death in Paradise experience set Jobert up perfectly for her new leading role.
If you cast your mind back to season 13 of Death in Paradise, you'll remember that there was plenty of drama in store for our main cast of characters as well as the anticipated return of Florence Cassell. A fan-favourite character played by Joséphine Jobert, Florence came back not only to explore the growing spark with Neville (Ralf Little) but also to help out on one of the cases. It turns out, though, that Jobert's final Death in Paradise episode paved the way for her new leading role in Saint-Pierre. Chatting exclusively to Radio Times about whether her role in Death in Paradise prepared her for Saint-Pierre in any way, the actress laughed and said: "Yes, it's crazy. I left Death in Paradise many times and I came back many times because they would call me back and be like, ‘Oh, can you come back for half a season?’. My last season I said that I'm okay to do one special guest episode. "Usually it’s the Inspector who does the whole whodunnit scene and they gave it to me this time. They were like, ‘You’re going to do it by yourself’ and I was like, ‘Okay, are you sure?’. It's like an eight page monologue. It's a very huge challenge." Jobert continued: "But the thing is, sometimes in Guadeloupe, there is dengue fever - I got the dengue! Honestly, I was so sick and I couldn't even stand, I was dying, seriously. I had to do the whole thing during the entire day, you can't see it on camera! I was dying. I was in pain. Honestly, it was awful. "But that prepared me because just being able to deliver that scene, the entire day, eight page monologue, sick to death – if I can do this, I can do anything. It's funny, life is funny sometimes. So when I got this job… because I have definitely more lines in this than Death in Paradise. She is leading, she's the boss. It felt like I was prepared because of that episode of Death in Paradise, it gave me confidence." Jobert leads the cast of Saint-Pierre as Deputy Chief Geneviève 'Arch' Archambault alongside Jack Ryan's Allan Hawco as the show's other central character Donny 'Fitz' Fitzpatrick. Read more: Margo's Got Money Troubles adaptation eyeing Big Little Lies-style continuation, says star Bookish season 2 debuts thrilling new trailer as Jason Watkins and Sherlock star join Mark Gatiss The synopsis for the series says: "After the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector, Donny Fitzpatrick (Fitz), digs too deeply into a local politician’s nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon — the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean. Fitz’s arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Genevieve Archambault (Arch), a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons." It continues: "As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic facade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity, which tends to wash up on beautiful shores. "At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together." Saint-Pierre airs on U&Alibi from 9pm on Wednesday 22 April 2026.

Saint-Pierre cast: Who stars alongside Joséphine Jobert?
The Death in Paradise favourite heads up the cast, but who else stars in Saint-Pierre?
Fan-favourite Death in Paradise star Joséphine Jobert may have bid farewell to the BBC drama some time ago now, but she is heading up a brand new police procedural that will be right up the street of any crime drama lover. Saint-Pierre sees Jobert take on a co-leading role as Arch, a Deputy Chief that has an enigmatic past and thirst for the truth as she gets to grips with the French territory. She's joined by Allan Hawco – who also serves as Saint-Pierre's co-creator, co-showrunner and executive producer – as Fitz, who is brand new to the area after digging too deeply into a politician's life. As the synopsis teases of their characters: "As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. "Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic facade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity, which tends to wash up on beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together." But who's who in Saint-Pierre? Read on to find out more about the cast of the series, which is now airing on U&Alibi. Saint-Pierre cast: Who stars alongside Joséphine Jobert? The full cast list for Saint-Pierre is as follows. Scroll on to find out more about the characters, plus where you may have seen the actors previously. Allan Hawco as Sergeant Inspector Donny "Fitz" Fitzpatrick Joséphine Jobert as Deputy Chief Geneviève "Arch" Archambault Benz Antoine as Marcus Villeneuve James Purefoy as Sean Gallagher Erika Prevost as Patty Montclair-Ito Jean-Michel Le Gal as Renuf Aucoin Tamara Podemski as Natasha Bourge Maxim Roy as Prefect Charlotte Diard Tim Rozon as Dr Theo Fouchard Allan Hawco as Sergeant Inspector Donny "Fitz" Fitzpatrick Who is Fitz? Having newly arrived on the scene in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Fitz is getting to grips with his new job posting despite some turmoil in his personal life. He previously proved himself to be stellar at undercover work but it had a massive toll on his life, relationship and family – something he's now pining for, but perhaps his new life on the island will change his perspective. Where have I seen Allan Hawco before? Hawco is best known for his roles in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Republic of Doyle, Moonshine and Sullivan's Crossing. Joséphine Jobert as Deputy Chief Geneviève "Arch" Archambault Who is Arch? Arch is described as "confident, bold, extremely intelligent, highly analytical and the kind of cop that doesn’t miss a thing in the weeds — in fact, Arch lives in the weeds." A no-nonsense kind of cop who comes from a law background and has grown up in Paris and the UK before coming to Saint-Pierre for mysterious reasons of her own. Where have I seen Joséphine Jobert before? Jobert is best known for her starring role as Florence Cassell in Death in Paradise, a role she held for multiple years and seasons. She has starred in various French language productions and is also a singer. Benz Antoine as Marcus Villeneuve Who is Marcus? Born and raised on Saint-Pierre, Marcus is the Chief Inspector and is also the closest thing that Arch has to a father figure. However, his character is described to have a "special relationship" with Sean Gallagher – but how deep does it go? Where have I seen Benz Antoine before? Antoine has starred in procedural dramas like Rookie Blue and 19-2, as well as shows like Blue Murder and Reasonable Doubt. James Purefoy as Sean Gallagher Who is Sean? An Irish national, Sean is the kind of guy that you don't want to get on the bad side of and pretty much has stakes in most industries: politics, shipping, restaurants. He's also tied up in more nefarious goings-on, with more to be revealed in due course. Where have I seen James Purefoy before? The English actor is known for his roles in HBO's Rome, A Discovery of Witches, Pennyworth and Sex Education. Erika Prevost as Patty Montclair-Ito Who is Patty? The desire to be a cop has pretty much always been written in the stars for Patty, seeing as she's considered a bit of a nepo baby in the field. Her connected parents essentially got her this position in Saint-Pierre but she's determined to learn from the best and hone her craft. Where have I seen Erika Prevost before? Aside from her role in Saint-Pierre, Prevost has also starred in The Boys and teen drama Dare Me. Saint-Pierre airs on U&Alibi from 9pm on Wednesday 22 April 2026.

Will there be a Mint season 2? Latest news and speculation
Will Charlotte Regan's genre-bending new series return for more?
*Warning: This article contains spoilers for Mint.* While on the face of it, Mint may have seemed like a classic Romeo & Juliet tale, the eight-part series certainly took us all on a creatively shot rollercoaster journey as things closed in for Shannon (Emma Laird) and her family. Marking the TV debut of Scrapper writer and director Charlotte Regan, the series may also tow the line of being a crime drama but its relationships are the central focus of the show. When chatting exclusively with Radio Times about what inspired her to craft Mint, Regan said: "I think it came from loving that stuff – I love gangster films, I love crime TV – but wanting to see more about the intimate moments between what we see on screen." With all eight episodes now available to stream on BBC iPlayer, many may be left wondering if that cliffhanger will lead to anything more. Read on for everything we know so far about Mint's potential second season. Will there be a Mint season 2? As of now, the BBC have not announced whether Mint will be renewed for a second season. However, with things ending on a cliffhanger at the end of the finale, things are set up quite well for further instalments. When asked whether she'd be interested in doing a second season of Mint, Regan told Radio Times: “I’m just having time off. You almost kind of need space from it and you almost want audiences to take control of it and tell you what it is in lots of ways. You do and you don't, to then know how you're feeling about it.” When could a potential Mint season 2 be released? The first season of Mint was commissioned back in 2024, with filming kicking off in early 2025 after casting had been officially announced. With the series having been released in early 2026, we'd expect that if Mint were to be renewed for a second season, we could see it hit screens some time in 2027 if it follows suit on a similar schedule. Of course, with the series not having been renewed just yet, you may have to watch this space. Who could return for a potential Mint season 2? As for who could return for a potential second outing of Mint, we'd expect all the main players to reprise their roles – and some notable departures. Despite being the co-lead of the series, Benjamin Coyle-Larner's Arran was tragically killed at the end of the fourth episode. While he did reappear in apparitions and visions that Shannon had, it was the end of the road for the character's story. So, if Mint were to be renewed, we'd not expect to see more of Coyle-Larner, unless he did continue to appear in fleeting sequences. The cliffhanger of season 1 was also the fate of Neil Leiper's Sam, who had taken over the family business after Dylan (Sam Riley) stepped down. However, with Shannon finding out that it was Sam who killed Arran, she took on the responsibility of exacting revenge and we saw her take a fateful shot at Sam in the show's final moments. But did she actually kill him? We'd assume so and would then anticipate that's the last we're seeing of Leiper. As for others who could make a return, we'd obviously expect Laird's Shannon to return, as well as other matriarchs Ollie (Lindsay Duncan) and Cat (Laura Fraser). After Dylan's secrets were revealed, we'd also expect to potentially see more of his partner Tom (played by It's a Sin and Dinosaur star David Carlyle) who is undergoing treatment for cancer – something we'd expect to be explored further. The Mint cast we'd anticipate returning for a potential season 2 are as follows. Emma Laird as Shannon Lewis Gribben as Luke Laura Fraser as Cat Sam Riley as Dylan Lindsay Duncan as Ollie Connor Newall as Liangelo David Carlyle as Tom Clive Russell as Andy What could happen in a potential Mint season 2? With Regan not revealing any concrete plans for a potential second season, we're sure there are plenty of jump-off points and loose ends that could be explored further. Seeing as Shannon took things into her own hands and got revenge for Arran's murder by killing Sam, could we see her at the forefront of the family business? We saw how Dylan wrestled with the role, which was pushed on him by his father Andy (Clive Russell) but will he continue on in his new 'clean' life with Tom or will those dark forces pull him back? Once Dylan's secrets were revealed, things pretty much imploded for Cat who was left reeling by her husband's decisions. But with her daughter making major plans for the future of the family alongside Cat plotting away with Ollie (Lindsay Duncan), we could potentially see these three generations of women helming things. Speaking about Ollie's character, Regan told Radio Times: “I think I always look forward to people seeing Ollie's moments, and seeing Lindsay as Ollie. It feels different to other things I've seen her in. Even the first day I saw her on set, I was like, ‘Oh my God, that's a proper transformation.’ "So, I think I get excited for people to meet Ollie. I would love a little Ollie goes to Ibiza spin-off, if the BBC will fund it. Just all about Ollie on like a lads on tour kind of holiday, pints, pints, pints.” Mint will begin airing on BBC One at 9pm on Monday 20 April, with all episodes available on BBC iPlayer that day at 6am.

Mint soundtrack: Every song featured in the BBC drama
The new BBC series boasts tracks from the likes of Charli XCX, Daughter and Jacob Banks.
Before working on the likes of Scrapper and now Mint, Charlotte Regan made a name for herself as a director of several notable music videos – so, it was a given that the soundtrack of her debut TV series Mint was always going to be stellar. As well as the BBC series encapsulating the magical realism of first love through its variety of shots, use of space and leaving a lot to the viewer's imagination, Mint is also underscored by a soundtrack that only adds to the tension and grounds us very much in Shannon's (Emma Laird) narrative. Chatting exclusively to Radio Times, Regan said of how she wanted to express the story: "I think I want the whole show to feel like it's almost Shannon's retelling on what's going on. That comes from everything from the music, because it's from a playlist that she's playing. Visually, like the fight in episode three, that looks like that because it's what she is sat at home imagining her dad is up to. Because to her, her dad is a hero, he's doing heroic things at work. "So I think I wanted it to have a bit of that kind of child-like perspective on it and it to feel like it was through someone's point of view." But, what songs are featured in the series and what is the theme song of Mint? Read on to find out. What is the theme song for Mint? The theme song for Mint is Switch by Irish singer and rapper Biig Piig. You can listen to the song below. View oEmbed on the source website Who composed the score for Mint? The original score for Mint was composed by Emmy-nominated Patrick Jonsson. He has previously worked on Oscar award-winning documentary The White Helmets, BBC's thriller Black Earth Rising and US drama The Alienist.

Mint creator and star break down shocking, brutal episode 4 moment: "I think it’s beautiful and true to life"
Full spoilers for *that* shock episode 4 moment ahead...
*Warning: This article contains full spoilers for Mint episode 4* Having chosen to ignore the comments from their loved ones, the love story between Shannon (Emma Laird) and Arran (Benjamin Coyle-Larner) seemed to be blossoming to dizzying new heights in Mint – until episode 4's shock moment that changes everything. The episode very much felt like one beautiful, drawn out first date, with the pair getting to know one another more and sharing plenty of thoughtful moments exploring the town. At last, they settle in a restaurant and as Shannon looks out to Arran who is resting up against her car, her loving gaze is brought to an abrupt end as someone dressed all in black and wearing a motorcycle helmet comes up behind Arran and shoots him. Chatting exclusively to Radio Times about his reaction to the twist, Benjamin Coyle-Larner said: "I don't think it was in the first thing I read. I think it was after I met Charlie and spent some time with her, she felt passionately to not keep me in the whole thing... nah I'm joking! "I thought it was awesome, again, because it subverted the idea of what you'd expect. And the idea is, the way it’s set up and even the way that it's being presented now, the whole thing is about this love story and it's a tragedy. But also, what I loved about it is it allows Emma's character to find power on her own. I guess there's an idea in the middle of it but then where these two characters are along, they are then capable of changing their circumstance." He continued: "I think what's nice about it, in a way, is that when Arran dies, Shannon is then forced to look after herself on her own, with the little pieces that maybe she's learned along the way. Which is quite powerful and not something I've seen that much, to really stay with a female character for that long as the lead - there's no man to save her, which I think is beautiful and true of life, it happens a lot. "I was obviously sad but happy to just be in and out for my first role, to just make it brief." But, was the decision to kill Arran an early one or did it come later down the line in the process of crafting Mint? Asking series creator, writer and director Charlotte Regan that very question, Regan revealed: "I can't totally remember the versions it's gone through. I'm sure if you ask my producer, Theo, he definitely will – he’s stressed out with every change that I've thrown at him. "But I think I've always knew, like Ben has just said, that I didn't want it to be a romance where both of them entirely exist for one another or become one. I wanted it to be that there was independence outside of one another."

I think I always wanted it to go against the expectations that Arran is this new person in town, this rival family and they're evil, they're bad and our family's good. I think I wanted it to go with Shannon's perspective. "At the beginning, she looks at her dad and her family as if they are the heroes of the world and they are the good guys and everyone else is the bad guys. And actually, through meeting Arran, she kind of learns, like the rest of us, there's no good and bad, and it's all like a grey area, everyone's struggling with something. So, I wanted it to kind of go against that version, which Arran’s end in [episode] 4 partly came from." Given the fact that Shannon's father Dylan (Sam Riley) was the one to seemingly sign off the order of Arran's death, we'll just have to wait and see how that spills into his relationship with his daughter – and just how Shannon will now cope in the face of grief. Mint will begin airing on BBC One at 9pm on Monday 20 April, with all episodes available on BBC iPlayer that day at 6am.

Mint location guide: Where was the BBC drama filmed?
The new BBC series is full of impressive shots, but where was Mint filmed?
As well as leaning into magical realism and a variety of artistic angles to accompany the unfolding love story of Mint, the new BBC series also boasts some impressive shots of its surroundings. With our central characters Shannon (Emma Laird) and Arran (Benjamin Coyle-Larner) quickly embarking on their own whirlwind romance but being from opposing criminal families, the first episodes focus on their connection and literal spark. But with Arran not being a local in the area and having a brother who's involved in making Shannon's family's lives more troublesome, their future hangs in the balance. However, the setting of the series is as much one of the characters of the series as anyone else, providing ample moody imagery and scenic landscapes to accompany the genre-bending story. So, where was Mint filmed? Read on for everything you need to know about the locations used in the BBC series, including some insight about the Scottish setting from the show's creator Charlotte Regan. Mint location guide: Where was the BBC drama filmed? The new BBC series was shot in Scotland, primarily in Glasgow and Grangemouth, which is a seaport and industrial town that previously boasted a major oil refinery complex – which we can see clearly depicted in many shots of the drama. According to The Falkirk Herald, scenes for Mint were filmed in specific areas of Grangemouth like Fintry Road and Tummel Place. Speaking about choosing to shoot in Scotland for her debut TV series, Mint writer, director and creator Charlotte Regan told Radio Times: "I worked in Scotland a few years before writing the show and thought the crew were there were the best people in the world and knew I couldn't make something without them. "I'm sure I'll probably follow them around for the rest of my career. And then my nan was also from Scotland so I spent a lot of time there in the summer holidays. I just always found it - you know, in bingo halls and things like that with my nan, I found it quite an incredible place. Like really cinematic and just full of great human beings both in front of the camera and behind it." Also speaking to the BBC about her choice of setting, Regan said of filming in Scotland: "I love it and I'd go most summers when I was a kid. I did a show there a few years ago and I just love the crew in Scotland. You feel like everyone's very much a collaborative part of the show. So that was a big part of why we filmed there. "In Scotland, people are interested in it, especially somewhere like Grangemouth, where they don't get much filming. We tried to engage the community and when you do that, I find, they're super welcoming. Every day, they come and hang out and I love that atmosphere. The local cast are amazing as well. There are so many amazing actors in Scotland." Mint will begin airing on BBC One at 9pm on Monday 20 April, with all episodes available on BBC iPlayer that day at 6am.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 2 first-look trailer finally unveiled as young couples to be torn apart
We don't have long to wait until the second season of the spin-off.
With only a handful of episodes left of the final eighth season of Outlander, fans will be pleased to learn that they don't have to wait too long for their next fix of the historical, time travelling drama and its universe. As well as revealing that Outlander: Blood of My Blood will be returning for its second season this autumn, Starz has also now released a teaser trailer for the new episodes – and it promises to be action-packed. In the short teaser, we have shots of both lead couples Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy), and Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine). We also even get a glimpse at a young Claire, who is seen happily skipping around as her parents smile after her. However, drama is never far away, as we then see Julia and Henry look scared while standing in the middle of a forest, followed by an epic fight sequence that sees Brian, Dougal (Sam Retford) and Murtagh (Rory Alexander) leading the charge. You can watch the teaser for yourself below courtesy of MGM+, which streams the show in the UK. View oEmbed on the source website As well as the teaser, there are a couple of new first-look pictures of the second season, which show both couples in very different situations. While we have Julia and Henry looking afraid as they approach the stones, the other image shows Brian and Ellen enjoying an embrace – but could it be their last for a while? At the end of the first season, the Jacobite Rising was just about to start so it seems highly likely that this could put the pair's own relationship back a step or two. Previously speaking about that in an exclusive chat with Radio Times, Roy said of where that may leave Brian in season 2: "The fiery crosses are lit, and it's given them [Ellen and Brian] an ultimatum, a crossroads. View Green Video on the source website "They think they're safe but does Brian go and do the right thing, which is report back to his Laird for war and get ready for that, or does he choose to stay with Ellen and they run away and become fugitives and leave Scotland forever? "Ellen must be thinking, 'What have I got myself into? I've just left the castle, I had a lovely bed, it was warm, and now I'm in a hole in the ground, and you're leaving me, potentially.'" Read more: Outlander: Blood of My Blood star teases "much more epic" season 2 after acclaimed first run Outlander: Blood of my Blood cast tease season 2 – and say fans will "lose their minds" The synopsis for the second season reads: "By the end of the season, both couples were on the precipice of a big change. After fighting to find their way back to one another, Henry and Julia were at the standing stones of Craig Na Dun, hoping to return to their own time, and Brian and Ellen’s romantic escape was interrupted as the 1715 Jacobite Rising began, thrusting the clans into war. "As season two unfolds, the two young couples will be tested and separated by forces beyond their control, as every clan chooses a side in the rebellion."

Joséphine Jobert gives definitive answer on potential Death in Paradise return as Florence Cassell
Jobert is now leading the cast of Saint-Pierre, but will she ever return to the fictional Saint Marie?
Having graced our screens for nearly a decade on and off as Florence Cassell in Death in Paradise, it's safe to say that actress Joséphine Jobert quickly became a fan favourite on the show. So, of course, when she exited the series, there were many fans that were left saddened by her departure. Despite one-off appearances and a pretty dramatic return in season 13, there are plenty who still wonder whether or not Florence could come back to Saint Marie in the future. With fond memories of her time on the show and promoting her new leading role in Saint-Pierre, Radio Times posed that exact question to Jobert and asked whether she can ever see herself making a return to Death in Paradise at some point in the future. "No – I get that question everyday on my social media," Jobert said. "But I'm like, no because, you know, [it’s] back and forth, back and forth. At some point you're like, ‘Girl, what are you doing? Do you want to leave or do you want to stay?’. No, I think I’ve done my time." When asked whether she keeps updated with the cast and any of the storylines now that Don Gilet has taken over the lead role, Jobert said: "I follow them on Instagram, yeah! And I like every single thing, I support you guys! I'm not in touch with all of the actors. "I'm still in touch with Shantol [Jackson]. Not very often but like, once a year, we’ll just send each other a little update. I love her so much, she's an amazing human." Seeing as Saint-Pierre is filmed on location in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Radio Times floated the possibility of Jackson coming to visit Jobert while she's working in Canada. "Oh, that would be fantastic, that would be so awesome," Jobert laughed and then said: "Or be a guest in one of the episodes!” Of course, Jackson plays the role of DS Naomi Thomas and so, it would certainly be a reunion for the books if Jackson were to join Jobert in her new show, Saint-Pierre. We can but hope!

Saint-Pierre is already into its second season but now, with a home on U&Alibi, it'll finally be time for viewers this side of the pond to see Jobert as the formidable Deputy Chief Geneviève 'Arch' Archambault. Chatting to Radio Times about how she feels now that Saint-Pierre is making its way to the UK, Jobert said: “I am happy. I’ve been waiting for this since day one on set. I was like, ‘I cannot wait for my UK fans to see it!’. "We didn't know if the UK would buy the series, but I was so happy when I found out, because I received messages every day on my Instagram and my DMs, like, ‘Oh, but where can we see the show? We cannot see in the UK, it’s so unfair’. They're so cute. But yeah, I’m so excited to announce that finally they will be able to see the show. It's so amazing.” Saint-Pierre airs on U&Alibi from 9pm on Wednesday 22 April 2026.

Missed Call ending explained: Does Sarah find Katie?
*Warning: This article contains full spoilers for the final fifth episode of Missed Call, which is available to stream on 5 now* With Sarah (Joanna Scanlan) getting closer to the truth of what's happened to her daughter Katie (Emily Coates), things were left on quite the dramatic cliffhanger going into the final episode of Missed Call. When a body is found in the woods, Sarah assumes the worst but we quickly find out that the discovery actually has links to a historic case in Saint Michel. So how does Katie slot into things? The final fifth episode, which is now available to stream on 5, may not end on the note that many think, according to Scanlan. Chatting to Radio Times about the finale, she teased: "I mean, I won't even say it ends well. It's not a guarantee that we're going to run through this and have the answer we want at the end of it." But what happens in the final episode of Missed Call? Read on for a full breakdown. Missed Call ending explained: Does Sarah find Katie? Going into the finale was the cliffhanger question of whether the body found in the woods was Katie. It turns out that it wasn't Katie but was Odile, the girl who went missing five years prior in Saint Michel. But who killed Odile? Well, it turns out that it was local detective Jerome Ricard (François-Xavier Demaison) who accidentally hit Odile with his car while under the influence one night. With the accident killing Odile instantly, Jerome covered it up and lied for years, leading to her case never being solved. Once his old police partner Serge (Xavier Lemaître) found out the truth, though, Jerome once again took matters into his own hands and killed Serge, staging it to look like a suicide and also planting evidence to make it appear as though it was him who killed Odile. Confronted by Virginie (Claire Keim), Jerome then threatened her over her father Andrew's (Robert Lindsay) past. He had obviously moved to France from the UK but it turned out that he did so after a string of sexual assault allegations were made against him in the '80s, with Jerome now having those files to hand. But Virginie didn't feel threatened by her father's true self being revealed and simply didn't care if Jerome exposed the truth. Jerome eventually threw the files away with Virginie arresting him afterwards – an awkward dynamic given the pair were dating. Odile's mother Audrey Lambert (Lise Laffont) had been searching for the truth about her daughter for years and was obviously heartbroken to learn of Odile's death, with Sarah and Virginie later informing her that Jerome had been arrested for her murder. The surprises didn't end there though as it turned out that Audrey had actually kidnapped Katie and been harbouring her in her own home, with Katie finally being reunited with Sarah at long last. Katie had been stumbling out onto the main road by herself when Audrey had picked her up, recognising her from the local school. Clearly intoxicated, Katie mistook Audrey for her own mother and Audrey explained that she took that as a sign. Audrey thought that by concealing the whereabouts of Katie, it would lead to people making connections between Katie's case and Odile's, hopefully leading to justice being served for Odile. It turned out that Audrey was the one to leave certain details and evidence around (including the graffiti about the Morvans) so that Sarah and Virginie could make the links between the cases. Audrey had always suspected that the Morvans had something to do with the kidnapping of Odile and so her evidence planting was all about unmasking them – even though they weren't involved. Audrey explained her plan to Katie, who didn't fight back or try to escape because she understood Audrey's plight. View Green Video on the source website Audrey was eventually arrested and in the midst of that, Sarah and Katie had a heart-to-heart about their relationship. Sarah knew there were things her daughter had kept from her and Katie revealed that in one spur of the moment in the past, she tried to kiss Jason (Rupert Graves). It was then that Sarah revealed to Katie that Jason was actually dead, having been shot by Xavier (Maxime Pipet) when they got into a physical altercation. It turned out that Jason wasn't the knight in shining armour that Sarah had thought, having concealed an entire secret life complete with wife, children and multiple affairs. With her daughter by her side, Sarah thanked Virginie for all her help and friendship throughout the entire time she'd been in Saint Michel. But Virginie threw one more small spanner in the works and told Sarah that they got Jason's phone records back, asking Sarah whether she'd like to see them. Sarah confidently said no and instead, enquired about what will happen to Audrey. Getting into a taxi to the airport, Sarah bid farewell to Virginie and with Katie now by her side, they drove off happily. Missed Call continues to air on 5 nightly until Friday 17 April at 9pm, with episodes also now available to stream in full.

Death in Paradise star was "sceptical" of Saint-Pierre role due to similarities – but insists "the vibe is different"
Joséphine Jobert is leading a brand new detective drama after her fan-favourite stint in Death in Paradise.
Having starred in BBC One's Death in Paradise on and off for close to a decade as Florence Cassell, Joséphine Jobert is making her anticipated return to UK screens in brand new procedural drama, Saint-Pierre. The Canadian series has already premiered on CBC Television on the other side of the pond but is finally coming to the UK on U&Alibi next week. On the face of it initially though, Jobert was taken aback by the similarities between her new series and Death in Paradise, explaining that she was actually "sceptical" of taking on the co-leading role as Deputy Chief Geneviève 'Arch' Archambault. Chatting exclusively to Radio Times about what appealed to her about the character, Jobert revealed: “Oh, everything. But first of all, when my agents called me about that show, I was a bit sceptical. "I was like, ‘Yeah, but it's another crime show on a small island.’ It's a duo, two cops." "The best friend – because at first, Veda [played by Ayesha Mansur Gonsalves], my best friend, the hacker. Her name was supposed to be Catherine, and she was supposed to be working on the bar. So similar! Even doing the same thing," the actress jokes. "They changed it obviously but I hesitated. And then they told me, ‘Just read the script and then you'll get to choose whatever you want to do’. I read the script and I fell in love with Arch. I fell in love with the other characters and with the story." Having become a fan-favourite in Death in Paradise, there's always the risk of being offered the same kind of roles in the future – but was that something Jobert had at the front of her mind once she exited the BBC series for good? “Yeah, to be honest, I wasn't really thinking about the next role I would take because it's also like, I’d like to take so many roles but how many roles are going to be given to me? "I kind of knew that similar roles would be offered to me because, as you said, when people see you in a certain style category, they think about you for the similar type of shows and everything – and I wasn't against it." Jobert said: "When I read this script, I thought that it has nothing to do with Death in Paradise. Death in Paradise, like Guadeloupe, Saint Marie is a character itself. And it’s the same for Saint-Pierre, the island of Saint Pierre is a character itself. But they are two different people. "You have the Caribbean and the sun whereas Saint Pierre is very cold, the vibe is different. I still receive offers for other crime shows but I say no because I think I’ve done enough.” Read more: Young Sherlock future confirmed in major update for Guy Ritchie series Margo's Got Money Troubles creator explains why Michelle Pfeiffer was "first and only choice" for Apple TV series Jobert leads the cast of Saint-Pierre alongside Jack Ryan's Allan Hawco, who stars as the show's other central character Donny 'Fitz' Fitzpatrick. The synopsis states: "As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic facade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity, which tends to wash up on beautiful shores. "At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together." Saint-Pierre airs on U&Alibi from 9pm on Wednesday 22 April 2026.

Missed Call cast: Who stars alongside Joanna Scanlan?
The cast of the 5 thriller has some very familiar faces.
The tension only continues to notch up as thriller Missed Call continues to get underway, with new episodes airing on 5 each night this week. Centring on single mother Sarah (Joanna Scanlan), she's left reeling when she can't get into contact with her daughter Katie (Emily Coates).

With only two episodes of the series left to go, Scanlan also warned that things don't even "end well", telling Radio Times: "I won't even say it ends well. It's not a guarantee that we're going to run through this and have the answer we want at the end of it." Scanlan's joined by Rupert Graves and Robert Lindsay, but who's who in the cast?

Missed Call star talks drama's surprise ending: "It’s much darker than you might anticipate"
The new thriller premieres on 5 tonight.
Tonight kicks off the week-long reign of Missed Call on 5, which puts Joanna Scanlan front and centre as a single mother in distress after her daughter vanishes while on a school trip to France. The new thriller kicks off as Scanlan's Sarah is forced to take matters into her own hands after her daughter disappears during a school exchange in Saint Michel, with Sarah intent on finding out the truth about what's happened. Across five episodes, viewers are set to go on quite the rollercoaster ride as Sarah hunts for clues and is also surprisingly met with coldness from her daughter's host family. Chatting exclusively to Radio Times about what's to come in the show's final episodes, Scanlan teased: “Well, I definitely didn't guess the end when I was reading it. "I would defy anybody other than you know, Sherlock Holmes, to do so. It is a is a really good plot. Really, really chunkily enjoyable plot." She went on: "We have a lot of very fabulous suspects – wonderful, exotic, interesting, plausible suspects. I mean, I won't even say it ends well. It's not a guarantee that we're going to run through this and have the answer we want at the end of it. "It's multi-layered and what happens in that village when Sarah arrives and starts, you know, kicking the hornets nest is that it all sorts of really nasty, nasty things emerge. And it's much darker, actually, than you might anticipate from the start of the story.” Well, we'll just have to remain strapped in for what's to come! Read more: Slow Horse favourite stars in tense exclusive first-look clip at all-new 5 thriller Riot Women star Joanna Scanlan reveals the big difference with her new role in thriller Missed Call Also speaking to Radio Times about how his character slots into proceedings, Rupert Graves said of his character Jason: “I think one of the interesting things about this story is that when Sarah goes to investigate and something really important happens and all the bulls**t stops in her life, she just wants to find the truth and find her daughter and find out what's going on. "Inevitably, she looks at people and people are, like all people in the world, they have secrets. They start to come out and some of them are unsavoury. And yes, that is part of this story, the side that people show and the other darker or more mysterious side. And Jason definitely has mysteries and secrets.” The synopsis for Missed Call reads: "Set against the backdrop of a picturesque French village, Missed Call follows single mother Sarah, whose world is upended after receiving a late-night missed call from her teenage daughter, Katie, while she’s on a school exchange.

Euphoria dedicates season 3 episode 1 to Eric Dane, Angus Cloud as Fez's fate is confirmed
The anticipated third season of Euphoria is here and pays tribute to cast and crew that sadly passed during the show's hiatus.
The first episode of Euphoria's third season has paid tribute to late series stars Eric Dane and Angus Cloud, as well as producer Kevin Turen. While it's been four years in the making and the loyal army of Euphoria fans have been counting down the days till the likes of Rue (Zendaya), Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) returned to our screens, the series premiered on a more sobering note as it remembered those who have sadly passed. At the beginning of the episode – which is titled Ándale – an in memoriam card can be seen, remembering Dane who starred as Elordi's onscreen father, Cal. Similar was done for Cloud, whose tragic death was remembered back in 2023 with a card in the beginning episodes of seasons 1 and 2. At the end of the episode and after the credits, there were also dedicated tributes to all three cast and crew members. In the four years since Euphoria season 2 aired, Cloud – who starred as fan-favourite Fezco in the first two seasons – passed away aged 25 in 2023 from an "accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and other drugs". Paying tribute to Cloud at the time of his death, Zendaya wrote: "I'm so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh. "I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love... 'they could light up any room they entered' but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I'd like to remember him that way." While many didn't know exactly how Levinson would write in Cloud's death into the overarching Euphoria plotline, the season 3 premiere reveals that Fez is actually in prison, serving a 30 year sentence. Talking about the way he went about incorporating Fez into the story in spite of Cloud's death, Levinson told Variety: “There’s a lot of scenes where people are talking to him on the phone. I thought, if I couldn’t keep him alive in life, then maybe within this show I could keep him alive.” He also added that Cloud “would be cracking up at his storyline” in the last few episodes of the new season, saying: “I think he would love it." Euphoria and The Idol executive producer Turen died in 2023 from “acute cardiac dysfunction” and “hypertrophic heart disease”. At the time, HBO released a statement to The LA Times, describing Turen as “a talented producer and collaborator and will be immensely missed by all who knew and had the fortune of working with him.” View Green Video on the source website As well as being a longtime collaborator with Sam Levinson on Euphoria, The Idol and Malcolm and Marie, Turin also served as producer on Pearl, MaXXXine and Hurry Up Tomorrow. Dane sadly passed away earlier this year, with the Grey's Anatomy star dying less than a year after having announced that he was diagnosed with ALS, a type of motor neurone disease. His representatives said in a statement at the time: "Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. "He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time." Read more: Mint creator reveals how "intimate" series differs from other crime dramas – and why it doesn’t include one common element Downton Abbey and Slow Horses favourites to lead ITV drama from Unforgotten writer based on "extraordinary" true story Fans of Euphoria already knew there would be some kind of dedication to the memory of the three cast and crew, with Levinson speaking about it at the series premiere. Levinson said (via Deadline): "Some people ask why it took so long between seasons 2 and 3. There were obvious factors — the strikes, trying to make a schedule work with our very in-demand cast, but the real time was in trying to figure out how to find a way to pay respect to those who we lost." He went on: "When Angus died, it was tough. I loved him deeply, and I fought hard to keep him clean. The year he died, in 2023, he was one of 73,000 people in America who died of a fentanyl overdose. I learned a whole lot that year, but what I realised more than anything is that death is what gives life meaning. "You can’t be arrogant about existence. You’re forced to reckon with the fact that life itself is a wonder, a gift, a profound blessing." Euphoria season 3 is airing weekly on HBO Max, Sky Atlantic and NOW.

Euphoria season 3's premiere continues the worrying problem of Sam Levinson series
If you're looking for well-rounded, thoughtful depictions of multi-layered women, Euphoria continues to underdeliver.
*Warning: This article contains minor spoilers for Euphoria season 3 episode 1.* Having waited for four years and had to endure the sleaze fest that was The Idol in the interim, Sam Levinson is back and attempting to craft more gripping episodes of Euphoria. The third season has been talked about for what feels like an age now, with release dates being changed, recent rumours of behind-the-scenes tensions and tragic cast deaths naturally souring the entire affair. But is Euphoria season 3 worth the wait? Let's not mince any words here – not at all. In fact, this season is the epitome of something that nobody asked for, nor needed. The first three episodes that were made available to press ahead of the series premiere are not only disappointing, lethargic and fairly dull but they also continue to perpetuate a pervading issue within Levinson's recent writing: his continual insistence on portraying women as hyper-sexualised beings, devoid of any real substance or personality. Euphoria has always been heavy on the angst, sex and drugs, proving itself to be a series that would make any prude shrink within themselves. It's the kind of show that throws out big themes but rarely does anything with them, with thoughts of seasons past bringing up memories of Cassie's (Sydney Sweeney) cringeworthy carousel scene in season 1, Maddy (Alexa Demie) covering up her neck bruises from boyfriend Nate (Jacob Elordi) in the same season, and the uncomfortable hazing of McKay (Algee Smith). Euphoria's casual heavy drug usage throughout both previous seasons has also been well discussed amongst fans, as well as the problematic dynamic between Cal (Eric Dane) and Jules (Hunter Schafer). But now that the cast and the characters themselves have grown up and are out of their teenage years, what substance does Euphoria's third season have? View Green Video on the source website To be entirely honest, it's never been a series that has really tried to say a lot. While the show has gone on to spawn plenty of quotable memes (mainly thanks to Demie's Maddy), it has dealt somewhat sincerely with Rue's addiction and the way that can tear people and their families apart. But there's no point in having one slightly more thought-out previous plotline as evidence that Euphoria can dig into the nitty gritty when now Levinson just appears to be steadfast in portraying his characters through the most salacious lens. Now having left high school and forging lives and careers of their own, this third season is supposed to be a more adult chapter for our cast. We're supposed to see how they've spread their wings (or more realistically, have struggled to), how their lives have diverted and intersected from those they went to school with and what hangovers from the previous season may still be relevant. Instead, we have a raft of half-baked characters and women that appear to have been written by someone who has no real sympathy or duty of care to craft them as more than the sum of their bodies or addictions. Cassie has continuously been sexualised across the seasons, with Sweeney previously admitting she had to tell Levinson when she felt as though Cassie's topless scenes weren't "necessary". At the time of Sweeney's comments in an interview with The Independent in 2022, she also said: "I've never felt like Sam has pushed it on me or was trying to get a nude scene into an HBO show. When I didn't want to do it, he didn't make me." The premiere episode of Euphoria season 3 features the now viral scene of Cassie dressing up as a dog in order to create content for her online audience, with Nate initially getting angry at his fiancée's new moneymaking ideas (in order to make money for her dream wedding flowers, no less), but then switching the erotic energy of the scene around once he has the leash in his own hands. Another moment to come in the series, which has also been doing the rounds on social media after it was glimpsed in a teaser, sees Cassie in a similar scene 'creating content' – however this time, she's dressed up as a baby, complete with a dummy in her mouth and pigtails. Some fans might defend the inclusion of an OnlyFans plot as simply being representative of the world we live in and the way in which plenty of people choose to make money. There's no problem with that at all here but instead of engaging in thoughtful discussion around sex work, Levinson makes the entire scenario (and Cassie herself) a hapless caricature. Speaking of Cassie's OnlyFans scenes in the season 3 premiere, Levinson explained that he was keen to focus on the humour of the moment – pointing out that her housekeeper is the one filming it. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we’re able to tie into it so that we're not too inside of her fantasy or illusion – the gag is to jump out, to break the wall." But by placing Cassie at the centre of her own OnlyFans storyline, it's yet another perverse scenario for the character and renders her no more than the sum of her body. The OnlyFans storyline is, in my opinion, a lazy way of attempting to make Cassie seem like an autonomous and intelligent character when realistically, she has never been portrayed as such. Some viewers have already decried the scenes as "like a humiliation ritual" for the actors, with many not quite understanding how major film stars such as Sweeney and Elordi have agreed to be part of such storytelling. While I nor anybody can really speak for why an actress would sign on for these scenes, we can instead interrogate the way in which this series continues to get away with these damaging portrayals. In season 3's first episode, we also get the very extensive play-out of the physical toll of being a drug mule, complete with intense choking scenes, that centre on Rue and Faye (Chloe Cherry). In amidst the chaos of the premiere, we also see Rue try to impress Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) to work in his strip club empire. We're introduced to him as he's surrounded by topless or bikini-clad women in a hot tub, the kind of misogynistic fantasy that this series seems to be becoming very adept at showcasing. At its prime, Euphoria was the talk of the town, receiving numerous accolades and making household names out of its young cast. A four-year wait hasn't done this show any favours, with it being clear that Levinson has not used the time to craft his female characters with any nuance. Perhaps the latter episodes of the season may have a couple of redeeming qualities but I wouldn't hold out any hope. Now, it's time that we all wake up and smell the roses – Euphoria has veered into being the kind of gross slop you shouldn't bother wasting your time watching.

Riot Women star Joanna Scanlan reveals the big difference with her new role in thriller Missed Call
Scanlan heads up new 5 thriller, Missed Call.
Having just been seen on our screens in BBC's Riot Women, Joanna Scanlan is now heading up brand new thriller, Missed Call. In the new five-parter, Scanlan stars as single mother Sarah who is delivered every parent's worst nightmare when she receives a missed call from her daughter Katie, who is abroad on a school exchange. With the local forces appearing not to take her concerns seriously, Sarah takes matters into her own hands to find out just what's happened to her daughter. The role itself certainly feels like a world away from Scanlan's role as Beth Thornton in the Sally Wainwright drama, but did it feel as such when embodying the character? “It did actually [feel worlds apart], because Beth is depressed," Scanlan told Radio Times. "She's a depressed person. And yes, she goes on a journey and kind of finds herself to a certain extent. But I think she's sensitive, highly intelligent and worried about everything going wrong. "And you know, she's in a gloom state. She's, let's face it, suicidal and Sarah is the absolute opposite of that." Scanlan continued: "She is not somebody who overthinks things. She really goes with her gut, but she's clever and she's bright. She's one of those people who – you know when everybody's pussy footing around a subject, say. Everybody's being polite to a certain extent or trying not to offend, and then somebody just says it. Just says 'What's going on?'. And she's that person. "I really like those people. I think they're real energisers and, in our society, we need them. We need somebody who's just going to tell it as it is. And she has a lot of energy. She has a lot of positivity, by nature. She's got a lot going for her and how somebody like that deals with a crisis is really interesting. And yes, she pushes it sometimes, she goes a bit too far. But essentially, she's a bit of a heroine to me, that kind of person. I would love to be a bit more direct like that." Sherlock star Rupert Graves also added: “I'm glad in the story, she goes too far, because she you have to shake people out of their lethargy and their secrets as well and whatever they're hiding. You have to break through the barriers of that, yeah? And she does that, and that is kind of heroic.” Read more: Slow Horse favourite stars in tense exclusive first-look clip at all-new 5 thriller Jon Hamm reacts to Your Friends & Neighbours shock episode 2 twist – but says hope isn’t lost for Coop Of course, as we know Riot Women is set to return for a second season, with series creator Wainwright teasing at the time of its renewal: "Oh, this is where the fun really starts!" "We've all been so deeply moved by the huge, overwhelming, joyous, emotional response to series one, and now we're able to take the Riot Women extravaganza onto the next level!" said the show's creator, writer, lead director and executive producer. "We hope you’ll all join us on the series two rollercoaster!" The synopsis for Missed Call reads: "Set against the backdrop of a picturesque French village, Missed Call follows single mother Sarah, whose world is upended after receiving a late-night missed call from her teenage daughter, Katie, while she’s on a school exchange. "When Sarah arrives in France, she finds the host family and local authorities disturbingly indifferent to Katie’s disappearance.

Slow Horses favourite stars in tense exclusive first-look clip at all-new 5 thriller
Could there be something uneasy brewing under the surface of Katie's sunlit holiday?
At some point in every parent's life, they've got to cut the strings and let their children go out into the world and spread their wings – something that Joanna Scanlan's Sarah is getting to grips with in 5's new thriller, Missed Call. The upcoming series debuts next week but Radio Times has an exclusive first look at the five-parter, which boasts a picturesque escape to the sunny South of France. However, as evidenced by the clip in question, not everything may be quite what it seems. In the clip (which you can watch above), single mother Sarah is seen eating her cereal in dreary England by herself while her daughter Katie (Emily Coates) has just touched down in France to stay at a French student's home in a school exchange programme. The stunning surroundings certainly are a world away from Sarah's own home, with Katie video calling her mother so that she can appreciate how grand it all is too. Katie then introduces her mother to the family she's staying with, the Morvans. Sitting down to eat breakfast, they seem picture-perfect as Caroline (Célia Diane) takes the lead and gets chatting to Sarah. She's then introduced to Emma (Lya Lessert) who doesn't appear all that interested and a chatty Fabien (Nicolas Van Beveren) who enquires about the English weather. Sarah alerts the family to Katie's picky eating, something that Fabien brushes away as a minor problem and says that they'll get Katie eating French food in no time. But when they disconnect the call and Sarah is left by herself, she starts to look slightly uneasy. Could she be overthinking letting her daughter go to another country? Or are her gut instincts starting to kick in? Read more: Philomena Cunk return confirmed by BBC for all-new series with a very different focus Shetland season 11 gets major update from BBC as flurry of new guest stars confirmed We do know that things are set to go seriously awry as Sarah takes matters into her own hands once Katie goes missing.

"When Sarah arrives in France, she finds the host family and local authorities disturbingly indifferent to Katie’s disappearance. As Sarah refuses to accept their complacency, her search for her daughter spirals into a gripping and dangerous race against time." Of course, Scanlan is known for a variety of roles over the years, including a memorable stint on Apple TV's Slow Horses, but is leading the cast of this 5 thriller, which also stars Claire Keim (Vise le Coeur), Rupert Graves (Sherlock), François-Xavier Demaison (Disparue) and Robert Lindsay (Sherwood).

Jon Hamm reacts to Your Friends & Neighbours shock episode 2 twist – but says hope isn’t lost for Coop
Jon Hamm chats exclusively to Radio Times about *that* unexpected twist in Your Friends & Neighbours season 2.
*Warning: This article contains spoilers for Your Friends & Neighbours season 2 episode 2.* It hasn't been a heap of plain-sailing for Coop (Jon Hamm) in this new season of Your Friends & Neighbours, with this week's episode revealing quite the plot twist for our protagonist. Now firmly embracing the robber lifestyle and merely keeping an office in the city as a front for his otherwise illegal activities, Coop and Elena (Aimee Carrero) seemed to have finally reached their stride in their operations. Meaning breaking, entering and stealing was becoming second-nature to Coop now that they have a well-oiled routine under their belts. What he couldn't have banked on, though, was new neighbour Owen Ashe (James Marsden) seeming to be several steps ahead, catching Coop stealing from his home. When asked by Radio Times about what that now spells for Coop, series star and executive producer Hamm said: "Ashe's discovery of Coop's dealings is certainly a wrinkle that he was not expecting and has to manage in real time. "But as we’ve seen, Coop is excellent on his feet so he handles it with his customary aplomb, I should say. It does knock him back a bit but he covers and makes the best out of the situation.” Knowing that Owen was out at a concert with his own son, Coop seized the opportunity to see what riches his enigmatic new neighbour was hiding in his home. Despite his own aching back and drama within his own family, Coop seized the small window of opportunity and was pleasantly surprised to find Owen's house unlocked. His spontaneity was rewarded, too, with Coop finding a first edition of Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, which would fetch an impressive six figures. It seemed pretty straightforward until Coop goes back to his New York office to find Owen making himself comfortable, turning his phone around to reveal hidden CCTV footage of Coop stealing the book from Owen's shelves. Could Coop really have met his downfall so early on in the season? As Hamm suggests, Coop has gotten out of trickier situations but it sure is a great cliffhanger to leave the episode on. Where last season started off with Coop very much in disgrace due to being fired and still dealing with his divorce, this season sees him in a somewhat better position as he's retained his wealth to remain in Westmont Village – just by the kinds of means he can't shout about from the rooftops. Ahead of its season 2 premiere, Your Friends & Neighbours was actually renewed for a third season so there's just no telling where the rest of this season could go for Coop. This season does see the introduction of James Marsden's new character, but as for where his story goes, we'll also have to be patient.

He’s obviously a wonderful actor. I’ve known Jimmy for years, we worked together on 30 Rock, believe it or not. "And he is a tremendous addition to the cast, especially as it relates to someone who is very much set up as an antagonist to Coop directly, as you say. Not only Coop dealing with that but the larger neighbourhood having to deal with this massive disruptor dropped right in the middle of it is a nice way to set up what ends up being a pretty profound disruption."

Good Omens star reveals whether he’ll be returning for finale: "Here’s hoping"
Will we be seeing any more of Gabriel in the final instalment of Good Omens?
With it now being confirmed that Good Omens is set to bow out with a 90-minute finale this May, fans of the hit fantasy series are waiting patiently to see just how things will wrap up for David Tennant's Crowley and Michael Sheen's angel Aziraphale. While events were left on an open-ended note for our lead characters the last time we saw them on our screens, fans may also be wondering if we'll be seeing any more of Gabriel in the near future. Played by Jon Hamm, the beloved character wound up naked and confused last season, having lost his memory – and Crowley and Aziraphale were intent on getting to the bottom of his amnesia. Things concluded rather happily for Gabriel as he fell in love with Beelzebub (Shelley Conn) and the pair abandoned their posts to move to Alpha Centauri. But could we be seeing him again in the upcoming Good Omens finale? Posing that question to Hamm himself as he promoted the second season of Apple TV's Your Friends & Neighbours, the actor revealed (in the video above): "That’s a good question! "That’s up to people whose pay cheques are significantly larger than mine so I’ll leave that to them but things ended up very well with Archangel Gabriel. "I think he’s found his true love and is floating the universe somewhere so there’s always a chance that he will re-coalesce in some way, shape or form. So, here’s hoping." With the new episode set to debut just next month, it hasn't been revealed who will be joining Tennant or Sheen, but it's safe to say that we have our fingers crossed for one final moment with Gabriel! Neil Gaiman, co-author of Good Omens, exited the TV series after he was accused of sexual assault, which he has strongly denied.

A Woman of Substance ending explained: How does Emma get her revenge?
We know Emma ends up a successful businesswoman – but how does she get her revenge?
*Warning: This article contains full spoilers for the final episode of A Woman of Substance.* A Woman of Substance has concluded on Channel 4, as Emma Harte crossed paths with the Fairleys once again... Starting out as a penniless maid working at Fairley Hall, Emma then discovered she was pregnant with Edwin's (Ewan Horrocks) baby and was forced to leave under a cloud of mystery. She felt betrayed that the man who had promised a life with her had simply fled. The series mapped out the life of Emma and her various trials and tribulations, but a large part of that was the very fact that the Fairley family continued to be a thorn in her side over the years. Over the course of the eight episodes of A Woman of Substance, Emma embarked on a wonderful career journey of her own and she went from success to success. However, with the war having impacted her majorly – both personally and professionally – there were some major changes to be made. The final episode saw her cross paths with the Fairleys, but how do things end up for Emma in the past and in the '70s? Read on to find out. A Woman of Substance ending explained '70s Emma (Brenda Blethyn) turns up in Yorkshire and professes that it's good to be home, but it's only as she's being driven up the expansive driveway that we realise that her 'home' she's referring to is also Fairley Hall. It's her birthday and she's gathered all her family at the home for a special kind of celebration but when she appears in front of her family, she immediately asks if all of the traitors are present. We then go back to the wartime timeline and see that Edwin has made it out of the conflict, paying a visit to Mac on the train carriage. Mac informs him that Emma's husband has died but also makes it known that she's doing well for herself. Once he's home, Edwin's family are happy to see him and his aunt Olivia (Lydia Leonard) explains that his father Adam (Emmett J Scanlan) has been in a state of depression due to depleting funds and owing money to various people. She tells Edwin that Fairley Hall is now up for sale after overpromising to get the big army uniform contract secured. Seeing as Emma owns the mill, it's an even trickier situation and he simply can't fulfil the order. She then tells Edwin that all of that will now be on his shoulders, now that he's back from the war. Calling for Priya (Hiftu Quasem), Edwin immediately stops his aunt and tells her that he's been thinking about their relationship and just wants to let her go, owing to the fact that they clearly don't love each other. However, when Priya appears, she surprises Edwin in a major way and reveals that she is actually pregnant. View oEmbed on the source website Edwin starts to glean information about Emma from his brother and when he goes to the moors to throw away a locket containing her picture, he actually stops himself and instead, runs home to tell his father and brother that he's thought of a plan to make Emma the solution to their problems. That evening, we also see Mac and Emma (Jessica Reynolds) reunited and they have a big heart-to-heart about the time he's been away. It's clear that they've got a deep connection as Emma confesses to feeling relieved when she learnt that it wasn't Mac who had been killed, even though it was her husband that was. That conversation is one that Mac's pregnant wife overhears, with Mac and Emma assuming she's sleeping. The following morning, as she's chatting to a customer, she's surprised to see Edwin walk into her shop. Of course, Edwin then spots Edwina, his daughter, there and Emma tells her to go to another room. Edwin professes his love to Emma and proposes marrying her, telling her he made a mistake all those years ago and that he wants to make peace to end their ongoing feud. He says that although the Fairleys have the big uniform contract, they don't have any cloth or a mill – but she does. He asks for a working partnership to fulfil the contract, laying out the financial terms that would help them both. Ultimately though, he asks for a truce. Once he walks out of her shop and to his brother, his intentions become all too clear as he tells him that "she bought it", clearly just lying once again. Unfortunately, Emma falls for Edwin's charms again and pays a visit to Fairley Hall to discuss business with the rest of the family. When she arrives, she pays a visit to Murgatroyd (Robert Wilfort), who is actually proud of how far she's come. He also tells Emma about what he's heard, seeing as the Fairleys just think of staff as the wallpaper of the house. He says that Edwin has got Emma where he wants her and the partnership isn't what it seems, something that obviously angers Emma beyond belief. That day, Olivia then informs Adam that she's leaving him after he made her believe that she was responsible for Adele's death. She says she needs to get away in order to grieve, something which takes Adam by surprise. How does Emma get her revenge on the Fairleys? Spending some time thinking on the moors, Frank (Lenny Rush) confronts Emma about her decision-making and just tells her to trust her gut. She does so and runs back home to draft a new plan. She arrives back at Fairley Hall and greets the family, eventually sitting down to confront them all about what she's found out about their double-crossing. She's discovered that when she gets one pound for every uniform, the Fairley's will be getting five, making the 'partnership' unequal. She tells Adam that she paid a visit to Lord Acton, who is in charge of the contract, and told him about the Fairleys' underhanded tactics that would also leave the workers without a living wage and soldiers with subpar uniforms. She told him that she won't be supplying the Fairley's with any material and so, he gave her the money upfront to ensure she can fulfil the order herself. In her confrontation, Emma tells Adam of her anger related to the way he treated her parents. She then confronts Olivia about stealing her dress designs and then, Gerald, not telling them explicitly about the fact that he raped her but nevertheless, telling him that he's a "dangerous monster". She then makes her way to the head of the table and reveals what she's spent the contract money on, nodding to Murgatroyd as she does so. He opens the door to Mac, who walks in and joins Emma with a key. Emma reveals that she's actually bought Fairley Hall and serves the family their eviction notice, telling them all to leave. Later on, we see that Edwin follows Mac and Emma as they leave the house. He tells them that because he's now involved, he's more angry about this feud than ever. He threatens Emma and says that when he has his own family, they too will carry on this feud and try to regain control of the house. Does Emma confront her family about their betrayal? <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/JoJoyner-AWomanofSubstance-08968dc.jpg" width="4500" height="3000" alt="Jo Joyner stars in A Woman of Substance; she is seen here in a house, where a party is being thrown. There are balloons behind her and a pink cake on a table in front of her. Despite the surroundings, she looks unhappy and angry at someone" title="Jo_Joyner_-_A_Woman_of_Substance" /> In the '70s, in the same spot as that tremendous takedown, Emma is standing before her own family at her birthday party. She confronts her children about their betrayal and offers them a way out – remain penniless and continue to feed lies to the press or accept a cheque of £1 million each, a small amount compared to what they would've received. She tells them that she's buying them and that by accepting the cheques, they're not to go up against her again. She then reveals that the heir to the businesses will be her granddaughter Paula (Mara Huf). Although they've had their ups and downs, Emma tells Paula that she's proven herself to be a worthy successor – but it's something that clearly makes Paula uncomfortable. Emma then tells Edwina (Rosie Cavaliero) the truth about her father, saying it isn't actually Mac as she's been made to believe, but is actually Edwin Fairley. Edwina appears quite happy to learn that she's a Fairley, which is precisely what Emma didn't want. That conversation is one that Paula overhears and Emma finds her outside the house, upset. Emma tells Paula that she trusts her completely but just as she does, she's called over by none other than Jim Fairley (Toby Regbo), who appears pleased with himself. The worst possible thing happens as Jim reveals that he and Paula eloped and got married in secret. But not only that, Paula also reveals that she's pregnant and Jim reminds Emma that whatever is Paula's, is now all his too. That means that the families will once again be tied and also, that Jim will stand to gain control over Fairley Hall once again, just like his grandfather Edwin had vowed all those years ago.

Paradise season 3 release date speculation: When could it return?
*Warning: This article contains spoilers for Paradise season 2.* Paradise season 2 was a rollercoaster for plenty, as the gritty drama threw viewers right back into the world of underground bunkers, government secrets and post-apocalyptic living as Xavier (Sterling K Brown) embarked on a mission to find his wife. Not knowing what he'd find out in the real world, he was in for plenty of shocks – and so were fans of the show. As well as the surprise (and heartbreaking) death of Annie (Shailene Woodley), Xavier took care of her newborn baby and vowed to protect her. Just two weeks before the season 2 finale, Disney+ announced that Paradise would return for a third outing on the streamer - and there is plenty more to dive into... Teasing what's to come, Brown told TVLine: "There is something else, climate-wise, that shall transpire, that the people will have to deal with in season 3, that may be something — a catalyst for action." Created by Dan Fogelman (This Is Us), the series creator has always been vocal about the fact that he sees Paradise in a three-season arc – so, when could the third be landing on our screens? Read on for everything we know so far. Will there be a Paradise season 3? There will be! Paradise was renewed for another run ahead of the season 2 finale. In an Instagram video posted to the official Paradise account, Sterling K Brown announced the news in suitably season 2 fashion, making a nod to Link's Love Actually-style moment. The third season will likely be Paradise's final outing, with Fogelman always being clear in the fact that he originally pitched the show as having three seasons in total. Whether it could go on for any longer, we don't know for certain yet but we could hazard a guess and assume it will be. Executive producer John Hoberg told The Hollywood Reporter: "We know what the end is, and it’s an end that would make it very difficult to make a season four come afterward." “Fogelman will say blatantly that Lost was formidable in helping him conceive This Is Us and of Paradise," Sterling K Brown added. "The way that the past affects and influences the present, and also then the future, is something we play around with in both shows. So all I can really say is that when Paradise is all done, it will all make sense.” Paradise season 3 release date speculation Seeing as Hoberg has revealed that they're already developing season 3 episodes then we'd expect Paradise to stick to its pretty consistent schedule. So far, seasons have been released each year with season 1 premiering in 2025 and then season 2 in 2026. In March 2026, series star Krys Marshall told Deadline that season 3 was "already cooking" – adding that she'd read the first few scripts and was due to begin filming in the coming weeks. We'd therefore expect season 3 to land on our screens in 2027 but as for exactly when, we'll have to wait for official confirmations! Who could return in Paradise season 3 cast? It wouldn't be a season of Paradise without Sterling K Brown leading proceedings as Xavier so can expect his return. As we now know from season 2, the series does enjoy bringing back past characters in flashbacks so we could anticipate still seeing the likes of James Marsden's President Cal and Jon Beavers's Billy. One character we won't likely be seeing anymore of is Shailene Woodley's Annie, who sadly died after childbirth in season 2. Seeing as Link continued to be a complete mystery throughout the second season and seems to have been embroiled in plenty of twists of his own, we'd certainly expect Thomas Doherty to make a return to the series. Sterling K Brown as Agent Xavier Collins Julianne Nicholson as Samantha Redmond James Marsden as President Cal Bradford Sarah Shahi as Dr Gabriela Torabi Krys Marshall as Agent Robinson Jon Beavers as Billy Nicole Brydon Bloom as Jane Driscoll Charlie Evans as Jeremy Aliyah Mastin as Presley Percy Daggs IV as James Thomas Doherty as Link Is there a trailer for Paradise season 3? Seeing as Paradise season 2 has just wrapped up, there's currently no trailer for season 3. However, you can relive the magic of that second season below.

Yellowstone creator's new show breaks huge record with strong premiere ratings
The Taylor Sheridan drama is a surefire hit for Paramount+.
The first season of The Madison may have now drawn to a close, but its future has never been in doubt, with a second instalment already announced and some truly impressive viewing ratings now being revealed. Another notch on Taylor Sheridan's drama belt, it was always clear that the show was destined to be a fan-favourite, particularly with the likes of Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell heading up the cast. Well now, the series has been truly underlined as a Paramount+ hit, with the premiere episode boasting an impressive 8 million streaming views globally in its first 10 days, according to Deadline. That makes it Sheridan's biggest series launch ever. And that's really saying something seeing as Sheridan has been behind the likes of Yellowstone, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Marshals and Landman. Paramount also revealed that The Madison is also, more specifically, Sheridan's biggest series debut among women aged 35 and above. So, it's safe to say that the series launch of The Madison will be going down in the history books for Sheridan. However, it's not his best season debut overall, with that title remaining with the season 2 premiere of Landman. The Billy Bob Thornton series clocked up a staggering 9.2 million streaming views in just a couple of days. As for The Madison, fans were left shocked with the series opener when a major character was killed off, underlining the series as Sheridan's most intimate, emotional series yet.

We can expect a return of series lead Pfeiffer, with the other cast members including Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Patrick J Adams, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova, Matthew Fox and Will Arnett.

Riz Ahmed talks turning Bait's chilling hate crime scene into the surreal: 'It's about internalised racism and prejudice'
Where did the inspiration for [SPOILER] come from?
**Warning: This article contains spoilers for Bait.** As the world starts closing in on Shah Latif (Riz Ahmed) in Prime Video's Bait, things start to go from ordinary to slightly surreal as the struggling actor has to deal with being thrown into the spotlight. Having engineered a studio exit to be captured by paparazzi so the James Bond rumour mill could involve him, Shah is taken aback as he realises that not everyone is pleased at the prospect of him being the new 007. While his family and friends may be over the moon for him, he soon sees online vitriol being thrown his way, with plenty of racism and Islamophobia sadly piled on. Part of those scenes involves a pig's head being thrown through the window of his parents' home, a chilling hate crime in amongst all of the laughter of the series. But we soon see that Shah is actually using the pig's head in another way – talking to it as though he's on a podcast. View Green Video on the source website Chatting to Radio Times about where the idea came from for the pig's head – voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart – series creator and star Ahmed revealed: “I knew that a character that needed to be in this was Shah’s critical voice – and we all have it, all of us. "I thought ‘Well, how do we dramatise it?’ Of course, when we got to that, there was a discovery in the room. When we got to the pig’s head at the end of episode 1, it was literally staring at us in the face. "So often, our own critical voice is about the internalised criticism, racism, hate and prejudice that we’ve taken from other people telling us we’re not good enough. But the thing I really wanted to help portray is that often, we sometimes have a very codependent relationship with that critical voice. "For years, it was my self-criticism that would motivate me more than joy or love. I wanted to show that actually, that self-criticism, it can be a double-edged sword. It can spur you to great ambition – but at what cost?” As we see in the series, Shah locks himself away in his parents' garage to chat to the pig's head in question and eventually starts to lean on it for some sort of direction and advice, as his life begins to spiral out of control. The series may draw on Bond as a storytelling device, but the show is all about identity and public vs personal personas, as well as how those can impact our sense of self and those around us. It also impacts Shah's relationship with his cousin Zulfi, played by Guz Khan.

For that, I needed amazing actors. I needed Guz, there was only one person who could play Zulfi. "I actually almost knew that if Guz doesn’t play Zulfi, the show would not work. He is the core of authenticity and represents a person that’s... Shah is not at ease with himself in the way that Zulfi is. I needed someone who’s fully at ease with himself – only a man at ease with himself can wear these orange glasses! And so, I needed him in the mix for that.” Bait is streaming now on Prime Video.
