The Unmissable New TV Shows To Add To Your Watch List

It is hard to believe it has been a whole decade since this Tom Hiddleston-helmed spine-tingler first hit screens. Season two picks up after warlord Richard Roper’s (Hugh Laurie) demise, as agent Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston) – recently retired from front-line espionage – resettles back in London with a new identity and a much tamer nine-to-five existence. That is… until the threat of a sinister underground operation proves too hard for him to ignore. As well as Hiddleston, Olivia Colman returns to this action-packed series, alongside excellent new cast members Diego Calva (Babylon) and Camila Morrone (Daisy Jones & The Six). On Amazon Prime and BBC iPlayer now

The long-awaited dystopian successor to The Handmaid’s Tale is finally here.

It follows the next generation of handmaids, led by Agnes, daughter of June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) – played by award-winning newcomer Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another) – as she defies indoctrination, incites rebellion and upends Aunt Lydia’s regime. As ever, the teaser promises a politically poignant, talking-point explosion of a show. On Hulu from April 15

The show follows Andrews’ calculated ascent from outsider to insider, while interrogating class, desire and ambition. On BritBox and ITV this spring
