The Unmissable New TV Shows To Add To Your Watch List

Taylor Sheridan’s espionage thriller returns with its most dangerous mission yet. For season three, the stakes could not be higher. Zoe Saldaña is back as CIA operative Joe McNamara, balancing impossible assignments with the growing strain on her family, while Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Kelly reprise their roles in the surprisingly chaotic world of covert intelligence. As hidden networks and foreign operatives collide, revealing corruption that is eternally muddying the line between right and wrong, this show delivers big action sequences, constant tension and endless moral ambiguity. On Paramount+ now

Ryan Murphy is gifting us with a new must-watch this summer – if you like suspense, seduction, parties and excess, that is. The Shards, his adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s cult novel, is set in sun-drenched 1980s Los Angeles and focuses on a clique of privileged prep-school seniors whose final year is thrown into chaos by the arrival of a magnetic new student, just as a serial killer begins stalking the city. Starring Igby Rigney, Kaia Gerber, Homer Gere, Evan Rachel Wood and Wes Bentley, the series blends glossy coming-of-age drama with mounting psychological dread. On Hulu and Disney+ now

After what many assumed was a final whistle for the show, television’s most optimistic coach is back. Jason Sudeikis returns as the title character for a fourth season that swaps AFC Richmond’s men’s squad for a second-division women’s football team, giving the beloved comedy-drama a fresh lease of life. Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein and Brendan Hunt all return, alongside a handful of new faces, as the series once again blends laugh-out-loud humor with a healthy degree of emotional depth. On Apple TV now

It’s arguably the most beloved contemporary spy series of recent years. Gary Oldman’s magnificently disheveled Jackson Lamb returns for a sixth season, with the dysfunctional Slough House team finding themselves on the run after MI5’s Director-General Diana Taverner drags them into a deadly game of retaliation and revenge. Adapted from Mick Herron’s Slough House novels, the latest instalment promises the same heady mix of razor-sharp comebacks, dry British humor and gripping espionage that has earned the series both Emmy and Bafta acclaim. If you somehow still haven’t joined the ranks of Slow Horses devotees, now is the time. On Apple TV from September 16

Anya Taylor-Joy continues her reign as television’s patron saint of dangerously glamorous women in Lucky, Apple TV’s new crime thriller based on Marissa Stapley’s bestselling novel. Taylor-Joy plays a former con artist trying to outrun her criminal past after one last job goes quite catastrophically wrong, forcing her into a deadly game involving the FBI, organized crime and several very bad men in excellent tailoring. With Timothy Olyphant, Drew Starkey and Annette Bening rounding out the cast, it has all the markings of a summer binge: desert-noir aesthetics, expensive motel rooms, emotional damage and a heroine who always looks phenomenal. On Apple TV now

Legally Blonde gets the prequel treatment in Elle, Prime Video’s pink and shiny return to the world of Elle Woods. Set in the mid-1990s, the series follows a teenage Elle navigating high school long before Harvard Law and the bend-and-snap era, with newcomer Lexi Minetree stepping into Reese Witherspoon’s stilettos. Produced by Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine company, the show leans heavily on nostalgic Americana, hyper-feminine fashion and the cultural reappraisal of ‘girly’ ambition. Think lip gloss, fluffy pens and latent overachiever energy. On Prime Video from July 1
