description: Having cut his teeth in the world of comedy, Travis Jay chats to Pass the Mic about returning to BBC Radio 4 for a full season of award-winning sitcom Rum Punch.
encoded: After the success of his pilot episode of Rum Punch last year, comedian Travis Jay is back for a fully fledged series of his radio sitcom – and it's only set to be the start of something greater, should the stars align for Jay who also has dreams for Rum Punch beyond the airwaves. As we speak before the release of the BBC Radio 4 series and even ahead of the live recording of his second batch of episodes, Jay is admittedly "super excited" for the release of the full season. "I think the response to the pilot was definitely eye opening. It was a real surprise because it's an audience I'm not familiar with, on a platform I'm also not familiar with. While I listen to podcasts, the idea of being on Radio 4 was just like, 'Okay, everybody speaks so positively about this'. It's just something I still didn't know. So, the response has been far bigger than I imagined," he says. And a positive reaction was definitely recieved around Rum Punch's initial episode, with the pilot going on to scoop up the award for Best Comedy Sitcom at BBC's 2025 Audio Drama Awards. Winning that was "something else", Jay beams, with it proving that the positive feedback "is not in my head and it really did connect". "I genuinely didn't know that we'd be in the running for something like that. When you start writing, it's the furthest thing from my mind. Then it's like – bam, nominations are in," he laughs. He continues: "It's my first comedy award, and I've been doing this for 16 years. I'm just grateful the people are enjoying the project. I think it's a powerful story to tell and I think the feeling it leaves is the thing I really aim for. "I'm one of these stand up comics – I do touch on serious things. Previous specials I've done, I've touched on grief, losing my grandfather. It would seem like, how did you make that funny? But I know that there's value in real life and authentic stories. "The comedy will come, I trust my bones to find comedy. But dealing with real subjects is also quite a p…

description: Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson are great in the series but it's time we talk about Fehinti Balogun.
encoded: *Warning: This article contains spoilers for Down Cemetery Road episode 6.* We already knew Zoë was in a precarious situation going into the sixth episode of Down Cemetery Road, but nothing could quite prepare us for the sheer amount of tension that built throughout the latest episode of the series. If you listen closely, you may be able to hear phrases such as "Oh, TV is so back!" or "This is bloody brilliant" ringing out in the distance. Well, those are being cried out by me. That's because episode 6 of the (already) stellar drama is, quite simply, excellent – and really, it's all down to the star that is Fehinti Balogun. Captivating from the very first episode, Balogun has brought the character of Amos to life in such a way that you can't help but want more of him on our screens. There's absolutely no doubt about it: Amos is the antagonist of the series. Whether he's the main one is something to be disputed the closer we inch to the finale and come to understand the powers-that-be a bit better. What we do know, though, is that Sarah (Ruth Wilson) and Zoë (Emma Thompson) are the thorns in his side that he's intent on removing. For all intents and purposes, we're supposed to side with them and not Amos. And while I'm not saying that I side with a serial-killing hitman, it's hard not to absolutely love what the character brings to the dynamic and feel of Down Cemetery Road. Hell, I'd even go so far as saying that the series wouldn't be as great as it is without both Amos and Balogun. In the show's latest instalment, entitled Neglected Waters, the drama comes into its own. While some of the previous episodes may be seen as slightly slower in pace, episode 6 is a lesson for any screenwriter or director in how to build up tension perfectly. Trains have been used time and time again throughout TV and film as apt locations for the most twisted of tales. From Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, to The Girl on the Train, Murder on the Orient Express or the more recent…

description: When do new episodes of the Mick Herron adaptation series get released on Apple TV?
encoded: With only a couple of episodes left to go in Down Cemetery Road, the stakes are ever higher for Sarah (Ruth Wilson) and Zoë (Emma Thompson) who each have been working hard to find Dinah. The series has followed the pair as they've tried to to get people to acknowledge the glaringly obvious but with such a race against time, it seems as though the walls are closing in faster than ever around them. The most recently released episode sees Zoë embark on a very dangerous game of cat and mouse whilst on the train to Scotland, with Amos (Fehinti Balogun) giving the private investigator a real run for her money. Down Cemetery Road has continued to be a welcome addition to Apple TV's offerings, particularly for Slow Horses fans, as it's also adapted from Mick Herron's work. Co-stars Thompson and Wilson have praised the story for featuring two characters at its centre who wouldn't typically be seen in this kind of story. "[Zoë and Sarah] are very unusual characters; Sarah doesn't really fit into the genre," said Wilson in an interview with RadioTimes.com.

They're two amazing, eccentric female leads. It's really rare, unique and funny." But when does the next episode land?

Akinola Davies Jr on My Father's Shadow: "We don't see enough nuanced representations of fatherhood, especially Black fatherhood"

description: Named as one of the BAFTA Breakthroughs for 2025, My Father's Shadow director Akinola Davies Jr chats to Pass the Mic about his feature film directorial debut and what its reception spells for his future.
encoded: Despite My Father's Shadow not being due for release in the UK until February, this year continues to be a buzzy one for director Akinola Davies Jr. Having premiered in Un Certain Regard at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival (the first ever Nigerian film to be selected for the festival's Official Selection), leading the way at this year's British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) with a staggering 12 nominations, and now the current artist-in-residence at Somerset House, Davies is having a hell of a 2025. Why not chuck in another accolade then, right? Named as part of the 2025 cohort for BAFTA Breakthrough (which is supported by Netflix), Davies says that it's "a real honour" to be recognised in such a way. "It might be the first contact people have with me, but I've been working towards this for almost 15 years. So it's just a real honour to be recognised by BAFTA, which is massive. I'm really, really happy." Over those 15 years, Davies tells me, there's been a lot of hard work and a continuation of not wanting to give up despite many occasions where he's been talked off a metaphorical ledge or two as a director and filmmaker. With a background in creating videos and commercials for music artists and fashion brands, My Father's Shadow is Davies's feature-length film debut. The film, which stars Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, is set against the backdrop of the 1993 Nigerian presidential election and follows two brothers as they spend the day in Lagos with their father, understanding him more as an individual as the time goes on. The film is not only heartfelt, engaging and witty, it's also tender and emotional in all the right places. The film stars newcomers and real-life brothers Godwin Chiemerie Egbo and Chibuike Marvellous Egbo, with that brotherly dynamic also reflected behind-the-scenes. Davies co-wrote My Father's Shadow with his older brother Wale, telling me that it was Wale who originally came up with the concept of the film. "We're pretty close in the way we relate to each other,…

description: Hawkins's final battle is fast approaching.
encoded: Stranger Things 5 finally arrives this week, with fans around the world waiting for what might be one of the most ambitious television seasons of all time. The final eight episodes are billed as being of blockbuster scale, with filming taking place over the course of a full year of action, which the stars say was filled with ups and downs. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Maya Hawke (who plays Robin) reflected: "We all had moments where you raised your hand. We were like, 'I'm not doing that well. I need help. My spirits are struggling.' "We all, this season in particular, came in to help each other move through those moments and find the bounce back." The perseverance of cast and crew members looks poised to pay off, however, with the Stranger Things trailers dazzling fans and generating enormous online chatter about who might die in the final chapter. Are you excited to learn all the secrets that Stranger Things season 5 has in store? Fear not: we've got everything you need to know about the upcoming run, which is dropping in three epic volumes. Stranger Things season 5 release date: When is it coming out in the UK?

The next three episodes (aka Volume 2) will be released on Christmas Day (Thursday 25th December) in the US and on Boxing Day (Friday 26th December) in the UK. And the grand finale will cap things off on New Year's Eve (Wednesday 31st December) in the US and on New Year's Day (Thursday 1st January 2026) in the UK. Each volume releases at 5pm PT, which equates to 1am here in the UK. The two-hour finale will also be shown in over 350 cinemas in the US and Canada at the same time as it drops on Netflix. Alas, the episode does not appear to be getting a theatrical run in the UK. How many episodes are in Stranger Things season 5? Stranger Things season 5 will consist of eight episodes.

encoded: Having helmed one of the most acclaimed documentaries of the year, director Olaide Sadiq remains humble and smiling as she beams about the "nice surprise" of being named one of the BAFTA Breakthroughs for 2025 (an initiative supported by Netflix). When we speak, Grenfell: Uncovered has just bagged a Rose d'Or nomination – testament to Sadiq's hard work on a production that became so much more. While some people around Sadiq have questioned why she was so surprised at the accolade, she reflects on the fact that the industry has seen some "amazing projects" in the past year with "a lot of great people". It's also a privilege, she tells me, to be part of a cohort of people that has seen the likes of Adjani Salmon and Letitia Wright grace the lists, both of whom Sadiq personally admires. "It's weird to be amongst them... but I feel very grateful that I'm recognised in that same way," she says. It must feel like a strange whirlwind of a year in general, I remark to Sadiq, with it now marking just over five months since the release of Grenfell: Uncovered. The Netflix documentary was Sadiq's directorial debut and was one that, surprisingly, Sadiq says she thought may be a "very quiet debut" – in reality, it was anything but. The response to the film was heartwarming, Sadiq says, admitting: "I feel like it got a much bigger response than I was anticipating." Working on the documentary "was way more than a job", adding that "it became a massive responsibility, one I'm really proud that I was able to handle". Whilst directing it has continued to put her further into the industry spotlight, Sadiq wastes no time in underlining the true importance of the production – saying that she's just glad the affected community of Grenfell has had this kind of recognition. In the aftermath of the film's release, Sadiq has done the screening circuit, having had various companies (within the housing industry also) reaching out and wanting to include it in journals, talks and in schools.

description: It's time to return to the heady world of finance.
encoded: Harper, Yasmin and the gang return along with a slew of new faces in the first teaser trailer for Industry season 4. The hit BBC/HBO co-production's moody promo unveils not only a first look at the cast of new characters, but also gives us a sneak peek into some of the significant drama to come. As well as Harper (Myha’la) seemingly living out a brand new, successful chapter of her career, things continue to be complicated for Yasmin (Marisa Abela) as she navigates a new life as the wife of Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington). In the trailer, which unfolds to the sound of Nina Simone’s Lilac Wine, we see Muck about to drive off in his vintage convertible car with Yasmin by his side, but nursing a bloody hand. Although season 3 appeared to show Yasmin turning her back on the world of finance altogether, it may not be quite that easy, as we see her come face-to-face with Harper once again. It wouldn't be an instalment of Industry without its fair share of secrets, sex, arguments, boardroom tension and chain smoking – all of which appear to be in plentiful supply in the new trailer. You can watch it for yourself below. View oEmbed on the source website Along with the teaser, HBO has announced that the new season will be released in the US on Sunday 11th January at 9pm. However, a UK release date is yet to be revealed – though the BBC has also confirmed a January 2026 release window. All episodes of Industry season landed in October 2024, coming two months after the US, which premiered the third season in August that same year – but it appears fans won't have as long to wait for season 4. The new trailer also gives us a look into the world of new character Whitney Halberstram, who is played by The Handmaid's Tale star Max Minghella. He remains a mystery so far – how does he get swept up into the high-stakes world of the series? We'll just have to wait and see.

It seems like an age ago since we saw Idris Elba helm the series as expert negotiator Sam Nelson but Sam is finally back – and this time it looks as though things are unfolding on the German underground system. A date announcement teaser for the highly anticipated second instalment was released just last month, providing fans with their first look at the action to come and it looks as though Sam is set to face another crisis on a moving vehicle. The synopsis teases that its "commuters are taken hostage, while authorities scramble to save hundreds of lives. Sam Nelson (Elba) is at the heart of the crisis on board, where one wrong decision could spell disaster". The first season was a hit for the streamer, with Elba even bagging an Emmy award nomination for his leading performance in the series. We now have a confirmed release date for season 2 also, as well as a batch of first-look images which are dotted throughout this article. But just when will the new season of Hijack land on our screens? Read on to find out. Hijack season 2 release date The second season of Hijack is confirmed to premiere on Apple TV globally on Wednesday 14th January 2026 with the first two episodes. As is usually the case for Apple TV shows, new episodes will then be released weekly, with the finale set for 25th February 2026. The series was renewed in January 2024, with executive producer and star Idris Elba saying at the time: “I was floored by the overwhelming audience response after season one. It’s top secret what new situation unfolds for Sam Nelson but I can assure you we will bring the high octane back!" Prior to the renewal announcement, Elba had floated the possibility of returning for more but stressed the impor…

description: New episodes are being released weekly on MGM+ in the UK.
encoded: The Power universe seems to be at something of a turning point - while two of the original shows spin-offs are currently still ongoing, they are both coming to an end. While Book III: Raising Kanan will end with its upcoming fifth season, Book IV: Force is coming to a close with its third season, which has recently started dropping episodes on MGM+ in the UK. That will then be it for the franchise as we know it, but never fear - there is still more in the works, including prequel Power: Origins and more for the characters going forward too. Joseph Sikora, who plays the central character of Force, Tommy Egan, previously teased fans: "Don’t worry. Tommy’s journey is far from over with. We’re just getting warmed up, and I can’t wait to show you what we have planned next." In the meantime, we've still got most of Force season 3 to look forward to, as we continue to follow Tommy's mission to take over Chicago's drug game - which comes at quite the high cost. The synopsis for season 3 says: "In order to claim the throne as kingpin, he must navigate an ever-evolving dynamic with his business partner, Diamond (Isaac Keys), and a contentious relationship with Diamond’s brother, Jenard (Kris D. Lofton). "As pressure mounts from the coalition, the Feds, Miguel’s crew and the Marquez Cartel, Tommy must find a way to protect his family and those he loves, including Mireya (Carmela Zumbado)." With the first three episodes having now dropped, fans will be wondering just when they can anticipate more new episodes. Well, don't worry, as we have you covered. Read on to find out more about the full release schedule of Power Book IV: Force season 3. When will Power Book IV: Force season 3 episode 4 be released? Power Book IV: Force season 3 episode 4 will be released on Saturday 29th November 2025. The third season premiered in the UK on Saturday 8th November on MGM+. Its release comes one day after its US counterpart on Starz, where it premiered on Friday, 7th November. For both terri…

description: Is the Sylvester Stallone drama returning for more?
encoded: Paramount Plus drama Tulsa King has now completed its third season, with the final episode laying the groundwork for more episodes. Well, it's a good thing then that the series has already been renewed for a fourth season – but there seems to be plenty of changes afoot behind-the-scenes of the Taylor Sheridan drama. It's already been announced that season 3 showrunner Dave Erickson is exiting the show, with Erickson also stepping down from showrunner duties on spin-off series NOLA King to primarily focus on helming Mayor of Kingstown. It's also recently been revealed that 26 crew members of Tulsa King‘s 600-member crew have been asked not to return for season 4. According to Deadline, "most, if not all, are expected to be replaced". But when will the fourth season of Tulsa King be released? Read on to find out everything we know so far. Will there be a Tulsa King season 4? Yes! Tulsa King was renewed for a fourth season back in September ahead of season 3's premiere. The renewal news was a natural next step for the drama, especially seeing as the season 2 premiere went on to be Paramount Plus’s most watched global premiere at the time, with 21.1 million viewers for the first episode. Tulsa King season 4 release date speculation As for a season 4 release date, one has not yet been announced. Seeing as the seasons of Tulsa King have stuck to the regular pattern of being released each year, we would anticipate a September 2026 release for season 4. We'd imagine that even with some drastic changes going on behind the scenes of the production, it has only stuck to its quick turnaround and so, wouldn't imagine that there will be any delays in the pipeline. However, with the release of NOLA King yet to also be confirmed, we could imagine that the two series will need to work around each other in terms of scheduling. It could perhaps be the case that NOLA King may be released first, with Tulsa King season 4 set to come soon after but it remains to be seen. Tulsa King season…

description: Shining a light on sexual predators within positions of power is eerily topical for Line of Duty. Will the BBC drama pull it off?
encoded: This article contains mentions of sexual assault, which some readers may find distressing. After months (well really, years now) of speculation about the future of Line of Duty, fans were able to breathe a collective sigh of relief this week when season 7 was finally announced. It was the jewel in the BBC drama crown after all, so why wouldn't we be seeing more of AC-12? Not only were we all treated to the confirmation of the series return and leading cast news, we were also given an insight into what twisted road of corruption we'll all be going down. The BBC's description for season 7 teases a rebrand for AC-12, with anti-corruption work having "never been more difficult". Nevertheless, we're set to see Steve (Martin Compston), Kate (Vicky McClure) and Ted (Adrian Dunbar) tackle "their most sensitive case so far". The synopsis states that the season will be concerned with "charismatic" new character Detective Inspector Dominic Gough, who has won plaudits for multiple takedowns of organised crime, but stands "accused of abusing his position of trust to act as a sexual predator." It adds: "But is Gough’s case a deliberate distraction from a bigger threat still operating in the shadows?" While the nation attempts to remember their shared season 6 finale disappointment, wonders just how Jed Mercurio will rectify the H anticlimax, and speculates about which starry name may or may not step into the role as Gough, my mind couldn't help but turn to recent headlines. With Line of Duty seemingly stepping into its #MeToo era, we could be getting a season of television that is not only as gripping as its previous instalments – but could be its most topical yet, if it knows what to do with such sensitive subject matter. Equally, it could be the season that may be the most difficult to watch for many survivors at home. You don't have to scroll far to find a news report about a police officer abusing their position of power – and when it comes to doing so for sexual gain, there …

description: It seems as though the rumoured series is actually a-go.
encoded: After the surprise Cate Blanchett cameo at the end of Squid Game's third and final season, questions remained about the future of the series and whether or not it'll be expanding its TV universe in any way. The long-rumoured American spin-off of the series seemed more in sight than ever but again, without any real confirmation from series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk or rumoured spin-off director David Fincher, it just seemed to be nothing more than an exciting prospect. Well now, it's time to get a whole lot more excited as it seems as though the series actually is happening. While Netflix has not confirmed the news, eagle-eyed fans have spotted a major production update and title of the new series, which appears to be called Squid Game: America for now. The show has now been listed on the Film and Television Industry Alliance website not only revealing its name, but also seemingly confirming that production is set to kick off in Los Angeles on 26th February 2026. Production details don't appear to be confirmed just yet, but it lists Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk as a producer alongside David Fincher, Zeus Zamani and Rhett Giles. It also lists Matilda the Musical writer Dennis Kelly as the show's writer, as well as Cate Blanchett as part of the cast. The listing also includes a project summary, which reads: "A US version of the Korean hit series, the spin-off is set in the same world but we get to see how the games are handled in America." Of course, it doesn't really reveal anything that fans hadn't already been speculating and would be, as imagined, just an American version of the original series. In terms of how American culture, politics and social issues may intersect within the games themselves, we'll just have to wait and see. But if it's anything like the original, it won't only be bloody games and backstabbing that'll take place, but a larger conversation about wealth and privilege too.

description: At long last, Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar are back!
encoded: After months of speculation, it's now been officially announced that Line of Duty will return for season 7 – with all the main cast reprising their leading roles. While the rumour mill has certainly been churning as of late with reports of filming and casting, the BBC has now announced that Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar are all reprising their roles for a seventh instalment of the beloved BBC crime drama. As of now, a release date has not been confirmed but we do know that filming will kick off in Belfast in spring 2026, with further casting set to be announced in due course. The official synopsis for the new episodes reads: "In series 7, AC-12 has been disbanded and rebranded the Inspectorate of Police Standards. Anticorruption work has never been more difficult and in this challenging climate Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) are assigned their most sensitive case so far. "Detective Inspector Dominic Gough, a charismatic officer winning plaudits for a string of takedowns of organised crime, is accused of abusing his position of trust to act as a sexual predator. But is Gough’s case a deliberate distraction from a bigger threat still operating in the shadows?" On the announcement of the series return, creator, writer and executive producer Jed Mercurio said: “Everyone involved in Line of Duty feels enormous gratitude to the show’s fans. We’re privileged to have had so many of you follow the ups and downs of AC-12 over six previous seasons and we couldn’t be more delighted to be returning for a seventh. "Corruption in this country is supposed to have come to an end while Line of Duty was off air so I’ve been forced to use my imagination.” Series co-lead Compston added: “Line of Duty has been a job of a lifetime. Not only in terms of the show's success but the people I’ve had the opportunity to work with I now call some of my closest friends. I can’t wait to pull the waistcoat on again and…

encoded: It's almost time for 5's latest detective series, Cooper & Fry, to land on our screens – with RadioTimes.com having an exclusive first look clip of the drama. The series is led by former Doctor Who companion Mandip Gill and Downton Abbey's Rob James-Collier, who play the show's leading mismatched detective duo DC Diane Fry and DC Ben Cooper respectively. Premiering tonight, the sneak peek of Cooper & Fry shows that there's plenty of drama set to come as an action-packed chase sequence unfolds. In the clip, we see the detectives wearing their protective gear as they start unearthing potential clues in an empty house. Or at least, so they think. As is quickly realised, the house is in fact not empty, as they start to look in cabinets and through discarded document folders. "That'll be just the wind," James-Collier's Cooper says but the small disturbances they've heard soon turn into full-on scraping. Just as they venture into a strange bedroom that's been adorned with bird feathers, they find an image that points to the fact that their person of interest clearly has a brother. But where is he? Just as Fry poses the question to Cooper, someone appears out of the shadows and bolts down the stairs. Fry runs off in pursuit and the mysterious girl starts sprinting through the building site of the home, tearing down a ladder to distract Fry. She manages to lose Fry after climbing over a big gate, with Fry having no choice but to stare after the unnamed girl. She takes one last glance at Fry, subtly smiling in the process before running off once more. You can watch the clip for yourself above.

The news was announced a few months ago, with many fans wondering just what direction the series will take now that Naughty Dog studio head returns to his day job and is working on their next major release, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Speaking to Variety about his decision to step away as co-showrunner, Druckmann said: "It was quite challenging to be as involved as a co-showrunner on Season 1 and Season 2, while running a studio and working and directing and writing a game." Series star Bella Ramsey spoke about Druckmann's departure on Variety's Awards Circuit podcast, saying: “The world of The Last of Us is his creation, and so his voice and creative input. It doesn’t just go away in season 3 because he’s not as actively involved. It will always be his creation. And we’re always in everything that we do, honoring the game and Neil’s creation. He’ll definitely be missed on set. But his spirit is the story.” We do know that Ramsey is set to take much more a backseat in the third season though, as it's been confirmed that season 3 will focus on Kaitlyn Dever's Abby. The dramatic finale did end with the focus shifting from Ellie (Bella Ramsey) to Abby as she was roused from sleeping by Manny, with a Seattle Day One title card appearing on screen – revealing that we will be following Abby's journey in season 3, as is the case part way through the second game. But when will The Last of Us season 3 be released? Read on to find out everything we know so far.

encoded: Having recently been seen on our screens in the likes of Hostage and Frauds, Suranne Jones has been no stranger to the screen as of late – but there's some further potential exciting news in store for her fans. It's been reported that BBC's Doctor Foster is set to return for an anticipated third instalment, with Jones set to return in the iconic leading role. The first season premiered back in 2015, with season 2 following in 2017, so it's been a whopping eight years since we last saw the series on our screens. According to a report in The Sun, filming is due to start on Doctor Foster season 3 next year, "with a view to it potentially airing at the end of 2026 or early 2027". When approached by RadioTimes.com about the reports, the BBC said they would not be commenting on the news. The series was a standout success for the BBC at the time of airing and went on to become quite a seminal British psychological thriller series, centring on Jones's Gemma Foster who suspects her husband of having an affair. A successful doctor, Gemma's world starts to unravel as she seeks to find out the truth about her husband Simon, who is played by Dalgliesh's Bertie Carvel. The second series picked up a couple of years after the events of season 1, with Simon's new life and relationship (with Kate, played by Jodie Comer) continuing to impact Gemma. While the second season left on a bit of an open-ended note, many fans thought there was still more to be explored in terms of the series, its story and characters. A spin-off series, Life, did air on the BBC and followed one of the characters from Doctor Foster: Anna Baker, who was played by Victoria Hamilton.

The Disney Plus series somewhat fills the Peaky Blinders-shaped hole in your life and delves into the underground world of bare-knuckle boxing in 1880s East End London, revolving around a band of female criminals, a pair of best friends newly emigrated from Jamaica and a dangerous gangster. The first season saw all three storylines colliding as the story progressed, with plenty of loose ends set to be tied up in the second season. The finale not only delivered some surprises, but also underlined a completely new dynamic between Hezekiah (Malachi Kirby) and Mary (Erin Doherty), who looked as though they were going to be running off into the sunset together. Of course, that didn't quite end up happening and so, it looks as though things could be kicking off on a quite a sour start for the pair. With a trailer for the new season having now been unveiled, as well as a release date for the new episodes, fans don't have too long to wait till their burning season 1 questions are answered. But when will season 2 of A Thousand Blows be released? Read on for everything we know so far. A Thousand Blows season 2 release date It has now been confirmed that A Thousand Blows season 2 will premiere on Friday 9th January 2026 on Disney Plus. The series will also be available to watch via Hulu in the US, with all episodes in both territories dropping at once. Episodes for season 1 and 2 were actually filmed back-to-back, so that explains the speed with which the seasons are being released – lucky us!

"Stuck in Saint Marie, the team calls on the help of a familiar face to crack the case. Meanwhile, Mervin’s anxiously waiting to hear back from his newly discovered brother, which prevents him from embracing Saint Marie's Christmas celebrations.

The panel show – which now stands as ITV’s longest running show from a Black-led production company – has featured Akudolu from its first season as one of the ever hilarious team captains. Now though, Akudolu steps into the hosting shoes of Jimmy Akingbola and is helming the series herself this time round. Now in its sixth season, Sorry I Didn't Know was originally commissioned for ITV as part of its Black History Month slate in 2020. Five years on, the show has continued to go from strength to strength, not only providing plenty of laughs but also educating viewers on Black British and global history that they otherwise may not have known about. Akudolu is joined by new team captain Richard Blackwood for season 6 as well as Eddie Kadi, also being joined by a plethora of guest panellists each week including the likes of Susan Wokoma, Angellica Bell, Shazia Mirza, JB Gill and plenty more. But how has it felt going from a team captain to the show's host? As Akudolu explains below, it's been an honour to not only flex her hosting muscles, but to also be part of a show that's doing wonders for representation. You’ve obviously been team captain on Sorry I Didn’t Know since the show’s first series – how has it been seeing firsthand how the show has developed and continued to strike a chord with its viewers since 2020? When we were commissioned back in 2020, I thought we might get two series at best, so to see the show reach series 6, whilst going from strength to strength has been beautiful and overwhelming. We always knew the show was great and it’s been wonderful to see audiences enjoying it. You’re now helming the series as host this time round – how did the opportunity come about and did you feel any pressure taking up the role?

The series stars Snook, best known for her role in Succession, as a wealthy Chicago businesswoman Marissa Irvine, who went to pick up her 5-year-old son Milo only to find different a woman at the house who had never heard of him before. It's soon revealed that Jenny's (Dakota Fanning) mysterious nanny, Carrie Finch (Sophia Lillis), was the one who took Milo, but the rest of the season explores why. The penultimate episode also set up a hugely dramatic, tense finale, as Carrie entered Marissa and Peter (Jake Lacy)'s home at night, carrying a gun. So, what happened at the end of All Her Fault and why did Carrie kidnap Milo in the first place? Read on to find out more about what unfolded in the final episode of the thriller. All Her Fault ending explained: Why did Carrie kidnap Milo? As Carrie continues to point the gun at everyone, she's momentarily distracted by Milo calling for his mother on the nanny cam. She admits that she'd never do anything to hurt Milo. Colin (Jay Ellis) takes that as his chance to try and play hero, getting into a tussle with Carrie, who shoots him in the stomach. Carrie says she didn't mean to do it and urges someone to call an ambulance, with Peter urging an emotional Lia (Abby Elliott) to go outside and wait for help there. Brian (Daniel Monks) goes to soothe Milo but once he's left the room, Peter silently confirms that Colin is in fact dead. Marissa then asks Carrie the question we've all been wanting to know the answer to – who is she and why did she take Milo?

As well as taking us on quite the twisted journey through wealthy 'island' Richford Lake, the series centres on a scandal that rips through the local girls' school and plummets teenage best friends Grace (Imogen Faires) and Allegra (Amelia May) into the spotlight. But along with all the drama and backstabbing also comes a catchy soundtrack that is packed full of songs, ranging from artists like Jordan Rakei, Dave and Lykke Li. The title song itself is an original one that was crafted by the show's creator and writer Nicôle Lecky, who also showed off her musical talents in previous series Mood. She told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive chat for Pass the Mic: "It was always my intention, actually, I should say, to do the title music. I thought that was quite fun.

description: Writer, executive producer and actress Nicôle Lecky chats to Pass the Mic about her return to the BBC for another original drama, this time set in the glossy world of an affluent idyllic community.
encoded: Continuing to feed our TV drama obsession into glossy lives and gated communities is BBC One's latest offering, Wild Cherry, which revolves around a shocking scandal with teenage best friends Grace (Imogen Faires) and Allegra (Amelia May) at the centre of it. Whilst the tumultuous years of adolescence are likely enough for a narrative in itself, series creator Nicôle Lecky digs deep into the affluent world of Richford Lake to examine mother-daughter relationships, privilege and the ever-haunting world of social media. Lecky is no stranger to crafting a talked-about BBC series, having adapted her own one-woman play Superhoe into BBC Three's Mood, which was released back in 2022. The music-based drama was one of a kind, utilising music to tell a darker tale about the influencing world, one that we're all exposed to on the internet on a daily basis. Wild Cherry is "another world beyond Mood," Lecky beams when we speak and reveals that she actually pitched Wild Cherry whilst she was making Mood. "I have so much respect and brilliant collaborators at the BBC ... I clearly wanted to keep working with them. It's a bigger world, lots more characters. I just have so much fun collaborating with the BBC and they really did want me to create something else." When Grace and Allegra are accused of being part of this shocking scandal at their private school, expectantly, the rumour mill starts to churn and parents start to worry about their own children's welfare. Grace and Allegra's mothers, Lorna (Carmen Ejogo) and Juliet (Eve Best), are also left reeling by the prospect of their daughters being caught up in something so awful. As we see throughout the series, though, each mother goes to lengths of their own in order to protect their daughter. As much as the location of a gated community played an integral part in Lecky's ideation process for Wild Cherry, so did the chilling nature of real life events. "I was seeing and reading a lot of stuff in the news, reading different artic…

That is until a scandal rocks the tight-knit neighbourhood that sees teen best friends Grace and Allegra at its centre, with their mothers left reeling in the wake of what comes to light. The official synopsis reads: "A coming-of-age drama for both mothers and daughters as they navigate privilege, power and social media. “Like mother like daughter” rings loudly in a complex world, where danger and betrayal is never far from the surface - even in a perfect town."

encoded: As we continue veering to the anticipated finale of The Morning Show season 4, we can rest easy in the fact that the candid TV drama is in fact returning for more. It was announced back in September ahead of season 4's release that Apple had renewed the series for a fifth instalment. The early renewal didn't come as too much of a surprise to fans, seeing as Apple TV had done precisely the same thing ahead of season 3's release too. “The Morning Show has been a standout from the very start, debuting as one of the flagship series on Apple TV+. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see it not only entertain but also resonate with audiences worldwide,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming at Apple TV+. He continued: “Thanks to the outstanding cast and creative team — led by Jennifer, Reese, Charlotte and Mimi — The Morning Show continues to deliver addictively entertaining and provocative stories that we’ve all come to love. We’re excited for viewers to experience the next chapter of this Emmy-winning drama.” But just when will season 5 of The Morning Show be released and who will star? Read on for everything we know so far. The Morning Show season 5 release date speculation Apple TV has not yet announced a release date for the fifth season of The Morning Show so we'll just have to wait and see when new episodes are set to come out. However, the show has usually followed a pattern that means seasons are released every couple of years. So, that could very well mean that season 5 will be released in 2027. The Morning Show season 5 cast: Who will return? Despite being given an official series renewal, there has been no news of who will be returning to star in the fifth season of The Morning Show. We can imagine that leading stars Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston will return to helm the series, along with most of the familiar faces of the previous season. Season 4 saw the introduction of William Jackson Harper as the network’s Head of Sports Ben, Marion Cotillard as Ce…

description: Jake Lacy stars alongside Sarah Snook in tense new drama, All Her Fault.
encoded: With previous starring roles in the likes of The White Lotus, A Friend of the Family and Apples Never Fall, it's safe to say that Jake Lacy has embodied his fair share of mean-spirited and problematic characters. Now, he's heading up the cast of Sky's All Her Fault alongside Sarah Snook as two parents that are thrust into any parent's worst nightmare when one day, their son Milo goes missing. When Snook's Marissa goes to collect Milo from a playdate, she's shocked to find that the woman at the house has no idea who Marissa or Milo is and so, begins the search for the truth. Obviously, like any tense drama, each of the characters is hiding their own litany of half-truths, lies and secrets, with Lacy's Peter hiding stuff of his own. But how did the role as the successful working father in All Her Fault compare to his previous roles? Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Lacy said: "I try to see them each in a vacuum. There’s inevitably a through line of maybe control or selfishness or self-centredness, or a misunderstanding of what love is. "That seems to be a theme, and I hope that's just a coincidence and not like what I bring to a role. That they’re like, ‘Actually, he's a loving father’, and I'm like, ‘Yeah or he's self-centred and doesn't know what love is’." He continued: "But in terms of this role, there's just a lot of layers. There's a past and the present and the secrets that he's keeping. Obviously one large secret that he's kept and yet when that's revealed, there's this little window where he could attempt to bridge this gap, this riff that he's now kind of created in his marriage. "Instead, [he] doubles down on self-righteousness and that ends up being the thing that is untenable, is the ultimate destructor of any trust or foundation left between Peter and Marissa, Sarah's character." As to what that secret is, you'll just have to binge-watch the episodes and find out! Read more: Luke Evans stars in first look at ITV's new Welsh crime drama based on be…

encoded: When their young son Milo goes missing after being believed he was at a playdate, Marissa (Sarah Snook) and Peter (Jake Lacy) are thrown into the kind of nightmare that no parent wants to consider. All Her Fault is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by author Andrea Mara, with the episodes chronicling the aftermath of Milo's disappearance and some of the hidden secrets about the family that start coming to light. Now starring the likes of Snook, Lacy, Dakota Fanning, Jay Ellis and Michael Peña, the story is brought to life with a whole litany of stars which is quite a move away from the book's original Dublin setting. But is All Her Fault based on a true story? Read on to find out. Is All Her Fault based on a true story? All Her Fault is somewhat based on a true story, as the original novel was inspired by something that had happened to author Andrea Mara. As Mara explains: "The book was inspired by a real-life event, whereby I went to collect my daughter from a playdate and found myself standing outside an unoccupied house. "The panic only lasted for a few seconds until a neighbour told me that the family had moved house a few weeks earlier and I was just working off an old address list. So, it all ended very, very quickly – much more quickly than it does Marissa in the book." While the series is based on the novel, the book is slightly different. The book's synopsis reads: "Marissa Irvine arrives at 14 Tudor Grove, expecting to pick up her young son Milo from his first playdate with a boy at his new school. "But the woman who answers the door isn’t a mother she recognises. She isn’t the nanny. She doesn’t have Milo. And so begins every parent’s worst nightmare. Four Guilty Women." It continues: "As news of the disappearance filters through the quiet Dublin suburb and an unexpected suspect is named, whispers start to spread about the women most closely connected to the shocking event. Because only one of them may have taken Milo, but they could all be …
