encoded: With awards season currently ongoing, you might be racing to catch-up with all the films nominated at the upcoming Oscars – and if that's your goal, Netflix is home to several movies that will be on your watchlist. Two of the films from this year's Best Picture line-up – Frankenstein and Train Dreams – are Netflix originals, while major hit K-Pop Demon Hunters is another film that's nominated across other categories at the ceremony. Meanwhile, if you're doing more of an Oscars deep dive, there are loads of winners from previous years currently available on the platform, from Best Picture winners such as The Godfather and Silence of the Lambs to films featuring acting winners like Room and classic Coen brothers' flick Fargo. And of course, these films will be joined by a host of other big new original movies which are set to be released throughout the year, including Peaky Blinders film The Immortal Man and Greta Gerwig's Narnia film. Read on for our latest picks of the best films on the streaming service right now – updated weekly – or head over to our guides to the best series on Netflix and best comedies on Netflix.

Updated: 5th February 2026 Best movies to watch on Netflix right now Fargo (1996) While Joel and Ethan Coen have continued to make films as solo directors, it's now been eight years since the legendary brothers collaborated on a feature – 2018's Ballad of Buster Scruggs. There's still hope that the pair will eventually reunite for another movie, but while we wait, why not check out one of their very finest films, the 1996 classic Fargo. This tremendous Minnesota-set crime flick found them at the peak of their powers – mixing black comedy, a gripping plot and some extremely memorable characters, including police chief Marge Gunderson – played by an Oscar-winning Frances McDormand – and Steve Buscemi as "funny looking" kidnapper Carl S…

description: Stephen Dillane and Ian Hart are among those joining Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson.
encoded: Three years after Luther: The Fallen Sun was released on Netflix, things are finally taking shape on the already-announced sequel film, with additional cast members now having been confirmed. Those joining the film's cast include Game of Thrones's Stephen Dillane, Harry Potter's Ian Hart, The Witcher's Anya Chalotra, Andor's Kyle Soller and The Iris Affair's Niamh Algar. This marks a reunion between Algar and Luther creator Neil Cross, who was also behind The Iris Affair. None of the new stars' characters have yet been confirmed. These new cast members join Idris Elba, Ruth Wilson and Dermot Crowley, all of whom are returning as their iconic characters from the hit BBC series. Wilson's return means we will get to see her fan favourite character Alice for the first time since the season 5 finale, which appeared to show the character's death. However, Cross and Wilson have both long teased that things may not have been quite what they seemed. Cross told RadioTimes.com back in 2023 that "like Ruth said, we never saw a body," while director Jamie Payne added: "We never saw a body. And that is exciting. I think, as a Luther fan, it's exciting that those stories are out there to be explored potentially.” The synopsis for the upcoming Luther film says: "When a wave of brutal, seemingly random murders hits London, Luther is secretly called back into service. But how can he save London when everyone on all sides seems to want him dead?" When the film was first confirmed, Cross said in a statement: "Luther, Alice, and Schenk are more than characters to me — they’re family. I never stop wondering where they are, what’s become of them… and what horrors might be stirring in the shadows of London while Luther’s not around. So we decided to get together and find out what happens next." Luther: The Fallen Sun is available to stream on Netflix now. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream. Check out more of our Movies cov…

description: Some of the best series on Netflix right now include Stranger Things, His & Hers and Run Away.
encoded: Regency period drama Bridgerton is finally back on our screens, and while the fourth instalment has quickly won over the hearts of its devoted fan base, we still have just under a month to wait until the rest of the season drops on Netflix. Favouring the staggered release pattern of some of the streamer's other big hitters (like Stranger Things or Emily in Paris), Bridgerton fans will just have to wait and see what becomes of the budding love story between Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie (Yerin Ha) – especially after that cliffhanger ending. While Bridgerton has certainly kicked off the exciting line-up of shows to come on Netflix, there's already been a steady stream of new releases including latest Harlan Coben thriller series, Run Away, as well as limited series His & Hers, starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, and Agatha Christie adaptation, Seven Dials. The latter series has been written by former Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall, stars Mia McKenna-Bruce, Martin Freeman and Helena Bonham Carter, and follows amateur sleuth Bundle Brent, as she investigates a mysterious death following a lavish country house party. Those are just some of the biggest series to be added to the platform this year, and we're only a month into it. Of course, you can still return to all the hit series to have been released in 2025, such as Steven Knight's House of Guinness, military drama Boots, the second season of romcom Nobody Wants This and animated series Long Story Short. Netflix also plays host to all kinds of acquired series, including Sky show Brassic and Taylor Sheridan's Paramount+ show Special Ops: Lioness. If you can't quite decide which to pick, scroll on for our latest suggestions of the best TV series on Netflix, so you can stop searching and start watching ASAP.

encoded: After a longer than usual wait, the fourth season of hit Netflix drama The Lincoln Lawyer is finally here, with Mickey taking on his toughest case yet. The new season, which once again stars Manuel Garcia Rulfo, sees Mickey and his team working to prove his own innocence, when his former client, Sam Scales, is murdered. But will this prove to be Mickey's final case on screen, or will the Netflix show be back to adapt more of Michael Connelly's book series? Read on for everything you need to know about The Lincoln Lawyer season 5. Will there be The Lincoln Lawyer season 5? There will! A fifth season of The Lincoln Lawyer was confirmed in January 2026, before season 4 had even debuted. Co-showrunners and executive producers Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez said in a statement: "We’re so excited to share the upcoming fourth season with the audience on February 5th and even more excited to share the news that we’re already hard at work on the next one. "Season 4 is the most challenging and intensely personal journey we’ve taken Mickey Haller on yet, and we’re thrilled and grateful to be able to continue the ride in Season 5." The new season is set to be based on the seventh novel in Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer book series, Resurrection Walk. The blurb for that book, which could act as a guide for what fans can expect from the new season, says: "Defense attorney Mickey Haller - The Lincoln Lawyer - is inundated with pleas from prisoners protesting their innocence. With the help of ex-LAPD detective Harry Bosch, they find a needle in the haystack: a possible wrongful conviction. "A woman imprisoned for murdering her husband, a sheriff's deputy. But the evidence doesn't add up, the department pushed for quick closure in the killing of one of its own. But is this rushed justice - or something more sinister? "As they face a David versus Goliath court battle, the secrets which could set an innocent woman free could also be worth killing for..." When will The Lincoln La…

encoded: Beloved period drama The Durrells and crime drama series Whitechapel will both be leaving Netflix in the UK this month. Both series, which have been mainstays in the streamer’s catalogue for months, will be leaving the streamer due to the expiration of licensing agreements. The Durrells, the first three seasons of which arrived on the platform on 7th February 2024, followed by season 4 on 14th February, will be taken down from Netflix on 13th February 2026. After being added to Netflix on February 28th 2024, all four series of Whitechapel will be removed from the platform on 26th February. The Durrells, which originally aired on ITV1, is based on the real-life British Durrell family, who relocated to the Greek island of Corfu in the years leading up to World War II. The show stars the likes of Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard) and Josh O’Connor (Challengers). Whitechapel, which also originally aired on ITV1, follows a modern police unit investigating brutal murders that echo historical crimes, and stars the likes of Rupert Penry-Jones (Persuasion), Phil Davis (Vera Drake) and Steve Pemberton (Inside No. 9). Both series might be leaving Netflix this month, but fans will be pleased to hear that there are other streaming options. The Durrells is available to stream on Disney+ and, given that it was added to the service in June 2024, shouldn't be being removed any time soon. Meanwhile, all four seasons of Whitechapel are available to stream on Channel 4. Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

description: Wondering which pieces of classical music appear in season 4?
encoded: At long last, Bridgerton season 4 has finally landed on Netflix and while it is only the first four episodes of the series so far, we've once again been plummeted back into the world of yearning, love and steamy romance. This new outing thrusts Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) into the limelight, with the pair making their acquaintance at a masquerade ball in the first episode. However, what Benedict doesn't realise is that Sophie is actually a maid working for Lady Araminta (Katie Leung) and thus, issues of class and social politics run rife in these new episodes. While there are new characters to get acquainted with and a brand new love story to get swept up in, one of the other main draws of the Regency period drama is its music. While the series may be set in the early 19th century, it often feels like the characters are partying in modern day thanks to a myriad of classical pop covers. The most recent season boasted the likes of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Pitbull and Ariana Grande, with this new batch of episodes featuring classical covers of Paramore, Olivia Rodrigo and Coldplay. To help you place all the songs, we've put together a comprehensive list of every one which features in season 4. If you scroll a little further, we've also included the full soundtracks for previous instalments. Without further ado, here are all the songs in Bridgerton season 4 part 1's soundtrack – including the original recording artist and who does the cover.

description: It's time for a new star to step into the Bridgerton spotlight.
encoded: At long last, Bridgerton season 4 is officially here, with a brand new leading lady, Sophie Baek. Played by Yerin Ha, the character has had a name change from the original Julia Quinn novels but remains a maid who crosses paths with bohemian Bridgerton, Benedict (Luke Thompson). Embarking on a mission to find his Lady in Silver from the masquerade ball, this season sees him go on a search for her but the deeper we get into the series, the more we learn about Sophie and her complicated beginnings. The final episode has already spawned plenty of fan reaction, with Ha herself saying she was angered at how things turned out at the end of season 4 part 1. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she said: "Doing the scene, Luke being so earnest and thinking he’s so sexy delivering this line made me … it was actually like, I want to punch you in the face as the character." Also speaking about her character in an issue of Radio Times magazine, Ha revealed: "What drew me to Sophie was her moral compass: she doesn’t change who she is for anybody else. It’s a real push-and-pull game, because he’s of a noble class and Sophie’s of a lower class." But with this season marking Ha's debut in Bridgerton, many will likely be wondering what they have seen her in before. Read on for everything you need to know about the Sophie Baek actress. Who is Yerin Ha? Ha is an Australian actress, best known for her role in the Paramount+ series Halo, which was adapted from the hit video game. She starred in the series as Kwan Ha from 2022 to 2024. Ha was born in Sydney, Australia and moved to South Korea at a young age, deciding to pursue acting and enrolling in Kaywon High School of Arts in Seoul. She went on to get a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting and then majored in musical theatre at Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Art. Ha made her TV debut in French-American crime drama Reef Break, then going on to star in Halo and then in Australian drama Troppo, before making her film debut in …

description: The romantic drama is back with an upstairs-downstairs twist!
encoded: Add season four of Bridgerton to your watchlist. Four seasons in, standing firm as one of Netflix's biggest original series success stories and based on a fan-favourite collection of novels, Bridgerton doesn't really need to switch up its format. It's the series that many started off watching as a steamy guilty pleasure, with fans continuing to tune in each season to see what love story will unfold for each of the Bridgerton siblings. First, it was Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) then it was Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and more recently, Colin (Luke Newton). Now, all eyes are on the unserious lothario that is Benedict (Luke Thompson) and as we know, the course of true love never did run smooth. While this new season does certainly ground us in Benedict's quest to find his mysterious Lady in Silver, the real draw of this instalment is the fact that it goes where Bridgerton hasn't really ventured. It peeks behind the curtains, if you will, offering viewers a window into the goings-on of these lavish homes and wealthy families, while crafting an emotional and complex story for Sophie (Yerin Ha) in the process. Arguably, this season of Bridgerton always had the bones to be its most interesting. But it is TV after all and the small matter of execution always leaves fans slightly trepidatious at what's to come. By following Sophie's incredibly sad story, though, we ground the series in real human emotion. It's not just the airy fairy cloud of love and sex that is an escapist viewer's dream – instead, it's a version of the series that's a bit more realistic. Sure, many of us come to Bridgerton for that snippet of escapism, those hours of TV where we don't have to think about the nasty, mean world and can instead just get lost in wet shirt scenes and yearning. But, I'd say, four seasons in and the show was at a risk of becoming stale and predictable. Now, by venturing into the territory of Downton Abbey, Bridgerton has opened up its doors to new possibilities, characters and stories …

description: The classic US hospital drama set the gold standard back in 1994.
encoded: Add ER to your watchlist. We all have an example of a TV show like this, right? The one that holds an outsized importance in our affections? For me, it’s undoubtedly and wholeheartedly ER, the 15 seasons of which are coming to Netflix in the UK on 9 February. It’s a method of accessing the series that would have been inconceivable to the undergraduate version of myself who, back in the mid-1990s, was watching on a 14-inch portable TV with his girlfriend in manky digs. It felt, at the time, like an impossibly sophisticated drama. All that frantic talk of Chem-7s, CBCs, Coags, EKGs being clean or otherwise. No real idea what any of it meant, but it sure seemed as though we were eavesdropping on the way things truly worked at the sharp end of hospital life. And the acts of heroism on display, such as reckless Doug Ross (George Clooney) risking all to rescue a boy trapped in a storm drain as the rain waters rose. It felt filmic, almost mythic. Well, as much as anything can on a tiny, boxy Sony without Nicam Stereo. For the two of us, ER had staying power. We, like the nebbishy and lovable Dr Carter (Noah Wyle) were students when it began. But when it ended, a decade and a half later, we were bringing our second-born son home from hospital. Those real-life births, incidentally, made all-the-more fraught by us having witnessed on TV every late-stage pregnancy complication known to the medical profession. But such awareness mattered not. Each winter, we’ll still watch season one’s Blizzard because nothing says Christmas like a multi-car pile-up in the snow. And every festive season, we’ll tell our now-grown-up kids just how much ER meant to us when we were their age. They’ll smile indulgently for a second or two and then go back to thinking of us as they ordinarily do. As index fingers with a banking app attached. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/er-season-6-ec8f04f.jpg" width="3000" height="2000" alt="Anthony Edwards as Dr Mark …

description: The Bridgerton star spoke to Pass the Mic about the show's diversity on and off the screen.
encoded: Since its initial release, Bridgerton has been celebrated for rethinking what many think of as it relates to period dramas. A genre of TV that was often concerned with primarily white leading casts, Bridgerton's arrival on our screens has not only breathed new life into the medium, but has also proven that diversity can be done seamlessly and effectively for any major series. Yerin Ha marks a first for the series though, with her character Sophie Baek being the show's first East Asian lead and opening the doors on another level of joyous representation. While Bridgerton has continued to be a beacon of light for many in terms of onscreen representation, series star Adjoa Andoh also took the opportunity to highlight the behind-the-scenes diversity of the show also. When asked about her hopes for the future of diversity and representation within TV and film, Andoh told RadioTimes.com for Pass the Mic: “We live in the world, don’t we? And it’s lovely to have the world be able to watch themselves on screen. "We all love that, we love to see it – put a baby in front of a mirror and it’s the most fascinating thing ever. I don’t think we ever lose that fascination, whoever you are, from whatever background you are. "To have the range and the multiplicities of the stories, you will have stories that may focus on one demographic more and then another demographic but to have all the stories at a variety of times, it’s great." She added: "At a deepest level, we’re all human beings – we all love, we all get scared, we all need warmth and friendship, all those things and that’s common to all human beings. So to see all human beings in front of the camera and behind the camera is really wonderful.” Since season 1 premiered all the way back in 2020, the period drama has spawned a loyal legion of fans who are dedicated to the stories, its characters and often female-led storytelling. Previously speaking to Radio Times magazine about why casting actors of colour in a period drama is …

description: Some of the best (and raciest) period dramas to get stuck into after Bridgerton.
encoded: Now that Bridgerton has released a fresh batch of episodes, it'll be no time at all before fans of the Netflix series blitz through watching the first part of season 4. With this recent instalment focusing on the upstairs-downstairs dynamic between Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), as well as clearly being inspired by the fairytale of Cinderella, there are plenty of other similarly themed shows out there for fans to enjoy. We now have a month to wait for the rest of season 4 to land on the streamer and so, in an effort to fill the Bridgerton void, our attention has turned to the raft of other period dramas out there to stream and watch. Especially in light of this recent season, Downton Abbey is a natural comparison to make to Bridgerton season 4. There are plenty of episodes to binge-watch in that ITV series alone but there are also the likes of racier dramas like The Buccaneers or Mary & George, as well as historical shows inspired by real-life figures like Victoria or Dickinson. Keen to get a similar Bridgerton fix whilst we wait for more episodes? Read on to find out what series you should be tuning into. The Buccaneers Where to watch: Apple TV At the core of this (not entirely historically accurate) series is the importance of female friendship, making The Buccaneers an equally heartwarming watch as much as it is deliciously dramatic. If you're a fan of Bridgerton, you'll definitely enjoy the essence of this Apple TV series which focuses on a group of American women who head to London in order to find esteemed men to marry. A tale of cultural differences, love and yearning, it plummets us straight into English high society – with impressive outfits, settings and a pop-filled soundtrack to match. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Where to watch: Netflix Sure, this series may technically be a part of the Bridgerton universe, but this spin-off deserves its own shoutout in this roundup. While it does focus on the character of Queen C…

description: Plenty of fans were expecting Kanthony to make an appearance in Bridgerton season 4.
encoded: It's that time of year once more when we're all swept off our feet for another instalment of Bridgerton. While it's only the first batch of season 4 episodes that have dropped on Netflix, a lot was jam-packed into just four hours. The central love story of Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) consumes the first half of season 4, but we also have the return of Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and husband Lord John Stirling (Victor Alli) from Scotland – with clearly more brewing under the surface than meets the eye. However, with conversations around returning characters and fan-favourites, plenty of Bridgerton fans have been left wanting for Kate (Simone Ashley) and Anthony (Jonathan Bailey). Their names were announced as part of the season 4 line-up, but do they appear? Read on to find out. Do Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley appear in Bridgerton season 4? Unfortunately, Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley are not seen in the first batch of episodes of season 4 – but they are set to appear in part 2. As we learn early on in the season from Mrs Wilson's (Geraldine Alexander​​) gossip, the pair had chosen to go to India to have their child, with the Bridgerton household staff brimming with excitement to meet the heir upon their return to the Ton. However, we don't get that return to London in season 4 part 1 – but it is teased to come later on in the season. Thankfully, with the help of the season 4 part 2 look-ahead trailer (which plays automatically after you've finished the final fourth episode of season 4), we can see that the beloved couple are set to make a return to our screens very soon. In the clip, we see what's to come between Sophie and Benedict, as well as getting a glimpse into the growing tension between Francesca and Michaela. But near the end of the teaser, we also see a loved-up Kate (Ashley) and Anthony (Bailey) enjoying a moment laid out on their bed together, with their child nestled between them. It's a moment that eager fans have…

encoded: *Warning: This article contains spoilers for Bridgerton season 4 part 1.* What an ending that was, right? Bridgerton season 4 part 1 left its viewers on quite the cliffhanger note as Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie (Yerin Ha) finally made their feelings for one another clear – but Benedict clearly had the complete wrong idea about things as he propositioned Sophie to be his mistress. Still unaware that Sophie is in fact the mysterious Lady in Silver that he's been looking for with the help of his sister Eloise (Claudia Jessie), Benedict's previous conversation with the men of the Ton about mistresses was clearly striking a chord. It of course left Sophie flabbergasted at the suggestion, rushing out of the Bridgerton residence (that she now lives and works in) and on an open-ended note as to how the pair will reconcile. Things thankfully left on a happy note for Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) and Lord Marcus Anderson (Daniel Francis), but things are set to take another dramatic turn as Lady Araminta and her daughters have moved into Grosvenor Square next to the Bridgerton household. Mrs Varley (Lorraine Ashbourne) is now working for them but just a stone's throw away from Sophie, it looks as though things are going to get a whole lot more complex going into the rest of season 4. Thankfully, we have four more episodes to come as the season has been split in two. But just when can we expect part 2 to be released on Netflix? Read on to find out. Bridgerton season 4 part 2 release date: When is it coming to Netflix? Bridgerton season 4 part 2 will be released on Netflix on Thursday 26th February 2026. The first half of season 4 premiered on Thursday 29th January so it's been a little wait between the two parts dropping, surely only building up the anticipation between episodes! How many episodes are in Bridgerton season 4 part 2? There will be four episodes in Bridgerton season 4 part 2, meaning that the total episode count of season 4 is eight. The episode ti…

description: The final moments of that Bridgerton finale will leave plenty of fans at a loss for words.
encoded: *Warning: This article contains full spoilers for the final fourth episode of Bridgerton season 4 part 1, An Offer from a Gentleman* The final episode of Bridgerton season 4 part 1 well and truly lived up to its title, with Benedict (Luke Thompson) leaving Sophie (Yerin Ha) and viewers at home quite literally lost for words over his latest revelation. Or should we say, an "offer from a gentleman". The finale of the first batch of episodes leaves things on quite the cliffhanger, not only for the leading couple but also for the future of the Ton, as we see some new neighbours move into Grosvenor Square. With Benedict back in town after his stint in the countryside and with Sophie by his side, he gets his mother to employ Sophie in the Bridgerton household. Initially unsure over the prospect of working for the family, Sophie does accept the offer and starts to enjoy her time there – but that quickly changes at the last minute when Benedict surprises her with a proposition. Speaking about his season 4 connection with Ha, Thompson told Radio Times magazine: “You might think it’s tricky to have chemistry on Zoom but it turns out you can! I found doing the read-through that you can just feel... something. It felt quite enigmatic, our connection, like there was quite a lot to unpack. And that’s what you want.” Thankfully, there's the rest of season 4 to come – as well as two more seasons, which have recently confirmed their leads. But what went down in the part 1 finale of Bridgerton season 4? Read on for a full breakdown. Bridgerton season 4 part 1 ending explained: What happens between Benedict and Sophie? Arriving back in London, Sophie is shocked when Benedict tells her that she can work for his mother in their family home. Despite her initial reservations, Sophie is in need of a job after all and so, accepts. Once inside the house, Violet (Ruth Gemmell) warmly greets Sophie and says she would be the perfect lady's maid for Eloise (Claudia Jessie) and Hyacinth (Florence…

description: Bet you weren't expecting that, dear reader.
encoded: *Warning: This article contains a minor spoiler for the Bridgerton season 4 part 1 finale.* Although it was released back in 2023, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story remains a fan-favourite spin-off of the original Regency drama. The series lifted a lid on the indomitable Queen (Golda Rosheuvel) and her backstory, taking us through her whirlwind romance with King George and was a hit of a series. There haven't been any plans for a continuation of that spin-off but nevertheless, fans of the Regency drama remain committed to the memory of Queen Charlotte series. Going forward in the original series, fans now have a greater understanding of the younger years of not only the Queen, but also of Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) and Lady Violet (Ruth Gemmell). So, fans will undoubtedly be delighted to see a small nod to the Queen Charlotte series in Bridgerton season 4! While not a big moment by any means, eagle-eyed fans will spot that Lady Danbury makes her way through the Queen's palace with her in tow, but stops for a moment to admire one of the grand paintings adorning the hallway. When she looks up at it properly, we then get to see that it's actually a portrait of the Queen and Lady Danbury but as their younger selves. As Danbury stops to look at it, the Queen turns back and says: "Agatha?" but no more words are exchanged as she simply smiles and carries on. Seeing as the Queen Charlotte spin-off was such a success, how did it feel to incorporate that nod to the series and their younger characters? Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Adjoa Andoh said: “You’ve got it, woo! First of all, I’m chuffed that you got that because it’s very delicately in there and not everybody will perhaps notice it. I think what it’s saying is ‘Do you remember, audience? Do you remember those young women?’. "You see that remembrance and you understand the length of that friendship and all the vulnerabilities that were on display in that spin-off series. That series was a real gift to us an…

encoded: We can all feel a bit overwhelmed when looking for something to watch in the world of streaming, so if you're in need of some help, you've come to the right place. Bridgerton, the show that revolutionised period drama, has just returned for a typically breathless fourth season. At a masked ball, second Bridgerton sibling Benedict (Luke Thompson) is smitten by the mysterious Lady in Silver (Yerin Ha). But who is she? Meanwhile, the highly anticipated Take That documentary has been released on the same streamer, telling the story of the hit boy band. The three-part series goes behind the scenes with current band members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, featuring archived interviews with Jason Orange and Robbie Williams, as they reveal their personal experiences in a pop group that had millions of fans and sold over 45 million records worldwide. Over on Disney+, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is taking one of its biggest gambles in years with Wonder Man. The series appears to be most closely comparable to earlier experiments WandaVision and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, taking a low-stakes comedic spin through the sprawling comic-book world. We meet Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), a struggling actor trying to make it in Hollywood, as he joins forces with fellow performer and one-time terror suspect Trevor Slattery (Sir Ben Kingsley). For the film fans among you, there are plenty of new releases to entertain you at home during this dark, wet winter. Best buddies Ben Affleck and Matt Damon reunite on screen in Netflix's propulsive, all-star crime thriller The Rip, butting heads as a pair of veteran Miami cops who realise there’s a mole on their team — and no-one can be trusted. Also new to Netflix is romcom People We Meet on Vacation, in which Emily Bader and Tom Blyth play the platonic best friends whose globe-trotting adventures lead to, well, you can guess the rest, in what amounts to a sun-kissed version of When Harry Met Sally. It's a perfectly charming…

description: Lady Araminta is set to be Bridgerton's new antagonist but actress Katie Leung says that fans should "empathise" with her.
encoded: There's a brand new family on the block in Bridgerton season 4 and as fans get whisked up into Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie's (Yerin Ha) love story, we also get introduced to the fierce and often cruel matriarch of Lady Araminta Gun. Played by Harry Potter and Annika star Katie Leung, there's a lot that meets the eye to her new character. Having been married and widowed twice, Araminta is majorly concerned with making sure that her daughters Rosamund (Michelle Mao) and Posy (Isabella Wei) debut this season but she's also described as "fabulous, discerning, and blunt". So, it's safe to say that Araminta will be forging her own path in the Ton this season and isn't one to care too much about the opinions of others. Araminta will undoubtedly be a character that gets the Bridgerton fanbase talking, not least because she does fall into the 'antagonist' category. But what is it that she wants viewers to understand about her character? Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com, the actress revealed: "I think the main thing to understand is that she is a single mother who’s trying to juggle just surviving. Especially back then, in this Regency era, having two daughters is not ideal because the sons manage the household. So, she’s had to do everything herself, having been married twice and widowed twice. "So, she’s inevitably built up this wall of protection for herself, for her daughters and she’s on survival mode. She has to take on this ruthless, high-achieving stance attitude in order to achieve her goals."

Bridgerton finally gets a lot more interesting by stepping into Downton Abbey territory in season 4

description: The romantic drama is back with an upstairs-downstairs twist!
encoded: Four seasons in, standing firm as one of Netflix's biggest original series success stories and based on a fan-favourite collection of novels, Bridgerton doesn't really need to switch up its format. It's the series that many started off watching as a steamy guilty pleasure, with fans continuing to tune in each season to see what love story will unfold for each of the Bridgerton siblings. First, it was Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) then it was Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and more recently, Colin (Luke Newton). Now, all eyes are on the unserious lothario that is Benedict (Luke Thompson) and as we know, the course of true love never did run smooth. While this new season does certainly ground us in Benedict's quest to find his mysterious Lady in Silver, the real draw of this instalment is the fact that it goes where Bridgerton hasn't really ventured. It peeks behind the curtains, if you will, offering viewers a window into the goings-on of these lavish homes and wealthy families, while crafting an emotional and complex story for Sophie (Yerin Ha) in the process. Arguably, this season of Bridgerton always had the bones to be its most interesting. But it is TV after all and the small matter of execution always leaves fans slightly trepidatious at what's to come. By following Sophie's incredibly sad story, though, we ground the series in real human emotion. It's not just the airy fairy cloud of love and sex that is an escapist viewer's dream – instead, it's a version of the series that's a bit more realistic. Sure, many of us come to Bridgerton for that snippet of escapism, those hours of TV where we don't have to think about the nasty, mean world and can instead just get lost in wet shirt scenes and yearning. But, I'd say, four seasons in and the show was at a risk of becoming stale and predictable. Now, by venturing into the territory of Downton Abbey, Bridgerton has opened up its doors to new possibilities, characters and stories that make the tapestry of the Regency drama only …

Fury hung up his gloves at the start of 2025, following his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, but has recently teased a comeback and returned to training, amid fresh rumours of a long-awaited showdown with fellow Brit Anthony Joshua. Now, it has been confirmed that the former two-time world heavyweight champion will step back onto the canvas this spring to face Makhmudov in the UK. Watch Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov on Netflix Netflix will have exclusive coverage of Fury's first fight on home soil in more than two years, the venue for which has not yet been revealed but is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. "Excited to be back," said the 37-year-old after his return to the ring was announced. "Heart’s always been and always will be in boxing. Someone go tell the king that the ace is back!" RadioTimes.com rounds up everything you need to know about the Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov fight, including date and how to watch. When is Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov? Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov is scheduled for Saturday 11th April 2026. The fight will be in the UK but the venue, timings, and undercard have not yet been confirmed. How to watch Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov Fans can tune in to watch Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov exclusively live on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream. Who is Arslanbek Makhmudov? Arslanbek Makhmudov is not one of the big names in the heavyweight division. Indeed, you'd be forgiven for never having heard of the 36-year-old before he was announced as Fury's opponent for the April bout. An aggressive and powerful orthodox fighter, Makhmudov hits hard and is always searching for a knockout blow. That will make for a clash of styles against a master tactician like Fury but means that th…

description: The teaser trailer for the serial killer mystery is finally here.
encoded: It wouldn't quite be a crime drama without a complicated detective at its helm and taking that trope to new heights is Netflix's latest thriller, Detective Hole, which is based on the bestselling Harry Hole novels by Jo Nesbø. Fans of the original books will know this broody central character all too well but thanks to an official teaser trailer that's just dropped, we get to see just how Hole goes about getting results in his professional life and leaving his personal life somewhat dwindling. In the teaser, we see The Last Kingdom's Tobias Santelmann as Hole, drinking at late night bars, getting into physical scraps and punching people square in the face. Nevertheless, he's good at his job, his colleague admits – he's just not necessarily good at everything else. The Killing's Joel Kinnaman stars as Hole's colleague Tom Waaler, who may seem similar to Hole in terms of their professional capabilities, but is clearly hiding some secrets of his own. As the tension builds, we see Hole come undone literally as he's seen tearing an investigation wall apart, with pictures flying everywhere. You can watch it for yourself below. View oEmbed on the source website It was just last month that we had a release date for the new series confirmed, with the new crime thriller set to land on Netflix this March. As we see in the teaser, the series is very much concerned with a central serial killer case but also, Hole's growing suspicions over his colleague Waaler. As per the synopsis, the series is "is a whodunnit serial killer mystery led by famed anti-hero Harry Hole. Underneath the surface, this series is a nuanced character drama about two police officers – and supposed colleagues – operating on opposite sides of the law." It continues: "Throughout the season, Harry goes head-to-head with his long-time adversary and corrupt detective Tom Waaler. Harry is a brilliant but tormented homicide detective who struggles with his demons. As the two navigate the blurred ethical lines of t…

description: "I feel like I identify with her."
encoded: We're well and truly in the swing of Bridgerton season and Netflix have thought of an incredible way to mark the occasion – and that's by treating one mega fan to an experience of a lifetime. The streamer held a competition to find the biggest Bridgerton fan out there and after sifting through countless applications and nominations from loved ones, they crowned one lucky winner. Well now, RadioTimes.com can reveal what went down when Sarah – who was none the wiser as to what surprises she had in store – found out that she was going to be whisked away to the Bridgerton premiere in Paris. Having been nominated by her best friend, we find out more about Sarah's personal life and how she spends a lot of her time caring for others but ultimately, always keeping Bridgerton close to her heart. So much so, in fact, that she identifies with Nicola Coughlan's Penelope, even revealing that she keeps dying her hair ginger to match the character's. "I do, I keep going 'Oh, I'm in my Penelope Bridgerton phase!'," she tells the camera, thinking she's applying to be on a quiz show. In the clip, we see how everything is pulled off on the day in question, with Sarah being told that she's going on a first aid course for work with her friend and travelling to a training centre. Once there, a series of random events occurs but once in the room with the other 'participants', the teacher asks Sarah to go up to the front and asks her about her favourite TV show. Regaling the room about how much she loves Bridgerton, she's then asked to write the show's name on a whiteboard. But as she does, the walls slowly come away from her, revealing an extravagant ballroom with Regency dancers circling the floor in gowns and suits – just like it's been pulled straight from the series. Sarah's then told to make her way to the throne, where she's told she's been nominated by her friend and is invited to attend the Paris premiere, a true dream come true for any fan. Speaking of her experience, Sarah said:…

encoded: Netflix has unveiled first-look images from its mysterious horror series Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, which is executive produced by Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer. The plot of the show is shrouded in secrecy at the time of writing, with few details beyond the premise, which sees a soon-to-be-wed couple ensnared by a (potentially supernatural) plot to destroy them. The series comes from screenwriter Haley Z Boston, best known for work on Netflix's viral hit Brand New Cherry Flavor and Prime Video's pulpy thriller Hunters, with Baby Reindeer director Weronika Tofilska also attached. Netflix's own TUDUM has compared the show to horror greats Rosemary's Baby and Carrie, which implies that dark fantasy elements could come into play as the story unfolds. The Night Manager star Camila Morrone co-stars opposite The White Lotus season 2's Adam DiMarco, playing the "doomed" couple central to the sinister conspiracy. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/adam-dimarco-camila-morrone-something-very-bad-4c70912.jpg" width="2700" height="1800" alt="Adam DiMarco and Camila Morrone star in Something Very Bad is Going to Happen; in this scene, their characters are in the front seats of a car, holding hands as they drive down a road" title="adam-dimarco-camila-morrone-something-very-bad" /> The supporting cast also includes fellow Hunters alum Jennifer Jason Leigh, also known for The Hateful Eight and Atypical, who bears an unsettling grin in her debut image as she clasps what appears to be an engagement ring. Adding to the show's horror credentials is Ted Levine, who played serial killer Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, and can be seen cutting an imposing figure in a dimly lit corridor. Is he friend or foe?

description: Bridgerton season 4 is about to land on our screens, so here's your guide to the exciting new cast additions and old favourites.
encoded: It's the week that we've all been waiting for, with Bridgerton season 4 landing on Netflix tomorrow. While the third season shone a spotlight on Nicola Coughlan's Penelope Featherington and Luke Newton's Colin Bridgerton, this new instalment puts the focus on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). Bridgerton newcomer Ha has already teased that with the introduction of maid Sophie and the "upstairs-downstairs influence", it will "bring a new, fresh energy and vibe to the show." Count us excited! With Benedict encountering a mysterious Lady in Silver at his mother's masquerade ball, this season will see him go on a quest to track down the woman behind the mask, none the wiser as to who it really is. While that central love story will most certainly keep us all occupied, there's set to be plenty else going on elsewhere in the Ton. Francesca is set to return to London with husband John by her side, but talking about the dynamic that's at play between her and Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza), actress Hannah Dodd exclusively teased to RadioTimes.com: "What can I say? I think Michaela is a character that challenges Francesca whereas John is a character that makes space for Francesca. They’re both really important for Francesca to move forward." She added: "It’s quite a confronting feeling for Francesca and a new feeling, a challenging one. I just think there’s an exploration of those feelings." With the leads for season 5 and 6 having now also been confirmed, all eyes are on season 4 to see how it will also set up the stories of Francesca and Eloise. But who's who in Bridgerton?

encoded: It may come as a shock to learn that, despite playing the "it’s for work" card, I occasionally lose control of the TV remote, which is how I ended up sitting through The Rip, a heist-based, gun-heavy, F-bomb-flooded thriller that I will describe, without apology, as "probably a film for boys". On the plus side, it starred – nay, was almost rescued by – Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and when I wasn't watching another shootout through my eyelids, it got me thinking about them and how we feel when film-star friends appear together on-screen. It’s almost 30 years since this golden pair arrived in our lives. The story of how two longtime friends co-wrote Good Will Hunting, defying all their Hollywood doubters and going on to score box-office millions and an Oscar each for best screenplay, has become as rich in mythology and inspiration as the film itself. The film’s most moving moment comes when Affleck's blue-collar loyal friend Chuckie tells Damon’s maths genius Will he's worth more than the life he’s settling for: "You’re my best friend. I call for you every day. The best part is when I knock on your door and I think maybe you won’t be there." Cut to 2026, and The Rip proves that day has not yet come – the Affleck-Damon alliance still tight in life as on screen. View Green Video on the source website A similar challenge is posed by the George Clooney-Brad Pitt pairing in Wolfs. As in The Rip, the film sets two solitary operators in competition and seemingly reluctant comradeship. Except, of course, they’re played by two of the world’s most recognisable men, famous for being handsome, successful and, most pertinently, great friends ever since they dazzled together in Ocean’s Eleven. Studios have long used the same trick to seduce audiences, repeatedly pairing equal and sort-of opposites like Paul Newman and Robert Redford, or channelling the unstoppable-force-meets-unmovable-object charisma of Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo. We happily sit through hours of fictional …

description: Rachel Weisz and Leo Woodall lead the cast of Vladimir.
encoded: A set of first-look images have been unveiled for Vladimir, a new erotic drama starring The Mummy's Rachel Weisz and One Day's Leo Woodall. The series, which will be made up of eight episodes, is based on the novel of the same name by Julia May Jonas, and sees Weisz play a "passionate but reckless professor", whose world begins to unravel when she finds herself "dangerously fixated on her magnetic new colleague". The newly released images introduce us not only to Weisz's unnamed protagonist and Woodall's Vladimir, but also to their respective spouses, played by John Slattery and Jessica Henwick. It has also been announced exactly when the series will debut on Netflix - Thursday 5th March 2026. Weisz spoke with Tudum about the new series, saying that there's "definitely comedy and drama" within it. "It’s mischievous and a good tonal cocktail for exploring some very serious subjects and issues," she said. "Her fantasy is about the power of desire — the invigorating, stimulating, inspiring, and revivifying feeling that she gets from her obsession with Vlad. What it’s about is coming back to life in a certain way [after lying] dormant for some time." The central character is very much someone going through a stalling career, while she also no longer feels sexually desired by her husband, with whom she's in an open relationship. Meanwhile, she learns that that the liberal arts college where she’s taught contemporary fiction for decades is bringing a sexual assault case against John, a fellow professor. She then meets Vladimir, a hot-shot young writer who joins the faculty along with his wife, Cynthia, and she quickly becomes obsessed with him. Weisz's character will speak directly to the camera, but she might not be the most reliable source of information. "You have direct access to what the character is thinking and then also what she wants you to think," Weisz told Tudum. "What she wants you to think is a little distant from the total truth." Vladimir will be released …

description: Robbie William's latest solo album saw him steal a record previously set by The Beatles.
encoded: Gary Barlow has teased that Robbie Williams will be rejoining Take That as the band celebrate the singer breaking a new record with his latest album. This week the singer and recent Better Man star broke the world record for the most UK No 1 albums, as his 13th solo album Britpop went straight to the top of the charts. In doing so, Robbie Williams has surpassed the tally previously set by The Beatles in 2000 and now holds the record. Released on 16th January, the new album, Britpop, pays homage to the golden era of British pop music, the 1990s, and has so far produced 5 singles, including Rocket which features Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. Williams achieved the new record with 16 chart-toppers, made up of 12 solo albums, three greatest hits compilations, and the soundtrack to his movie biopic Better Man. This doesn't include the two other No 1 albums that he recorded as a member of Take That. Every single album Robbie Williams has released as a solo artist has reached No 1, bar his 2009 album Reality Killed the Video Star which was only surpassed by boy band JLS. Appearing on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show this morning (27th January), the current members of Take That, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald joined Scott Mills for an hour-long special to mark the release of a new documentary about the band. As well as answering fan questions, Take That congratulated Robbie Williams on his recent record before Gary went on to tease that fans could expect to see Robbie return to the band, saying with certainty "it's going to happen". Speaking to Scott Mills on Radio 2, Barlow said: "Listen, at some point it’s going to happen in the future and that’s one of the wonderful things about our band is that you never know what’s around the corner. "As this documentary shows, we all started out at the same place, could you have even imagined back then that we could all be sat in this position now. It’s wonderful, it really is." The new four-part Take That documentary has jus…

In a statement at the time, Orange said: "I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I'd like to thank everyone who has been part of my journey, including my band mates, who I feel like are brothers to me, "At the end of The Progress Tour, I began to question whether it might be the right time for me to not continue on with Take That. "At the start of this year and with my full knowledge and blessing, the guys began writing new material. There have been no fallings out, only a decision on my part that I no longer wish to do this." In an interview in 2023, band member Mark Owen to…
