Selling Sunset Season 5
All the details for Selling Sunset season five have been dropped so strap yourselves in for some next-level reality TV. The show follows seven of the city’s most successful female realtors who all work under the same roof at the number one agency in the Hollywood Hills and the Sunset Strip—The Oppenheim Group. Naturally, the crew work hard and play harder, as they compete with the cutthroat LA market and each other (what’s a reality show without some friendly drama, right?). Season five will pick up right where season four left off, Christine has essentially been ostracised from the group thanks to an alleged cheating scandal with the ‘love of her life. Watch it here.
Anatomy Of A Scandal
If you’ve read the bestselling novel of the same name by Sarah Vaughn, you’ll know this is a big deal. A psychological thriller and gripping courtroom drama, the series infiltrates Britain’s elite through a personal and political scandal. James and Sophie Whitehouse live in a blissful world. A Minister in Parliament, with a loving family at home, James’ trajectory appears without limits. Until a scandalous secret suddenly comes to light. Barrister Kate Woodcroft has a trajectory of her own, and her prosecution threatens to tear into Westminster and the Whitehouse marriage. This is a juicy series you can’t afford to miss. Watch it here.
The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On
Six different couples, on the verge of marriage. One partner is ready to get married, the other isn’t quite as sure. An ultimatum is issued—and in just over eight weeks, the two have to commit to marriage, or move on. In the meantime, each will choose a new potential partner from one of the other couples. It’s as whacky as it is wonderful. Watch it here.
Heartstopper
While most high school series these days delve into sex and drugs (and rock ‘n’ roll?), Heartstopper is a new-age show bound to bring some heartwarming scenes to a weekend Netflix binge. The show, an adaptation of Alice Oseman’s webcomic and graphic novel of the same name, spans eight episodes whereby teenagers Charlie and Nick discover their unlikely friendship might be something a little bit more as they navigate their way through the cesspit of high school drama and young love.Watch Heartstopper from April 22.
Russian Doll Season 2
Set four years after Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) escaped mortality’s time loop together, season two of Russian Doll will continue its humorous and sci-fi take. This season finds Nadia and Alan delving deeper into their pasts through an unexpected time portal located in one of Manhattan’s most notorious locations. At first, they experience this as an ever-expanding, era-spanning, intergenerational adventure. Watch it here.
Bridgerton Season 2
From Shondaland and Creator Chris Van Dusen, Bridgerton follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut in Regency London’s competitive marriage market. While the end of season one (warning: spoiler alert) saw Daphne Bridgerton and Simon AKA the Duke Of Hastings in wedded bliss, welcoming their first child together, season two will centre around big brother Lord Anthony. In particular, the series will focus on his quest for true love—perhaps he might take some tips from his younger sister Daphne. Watch Bridgerton season two here.
Human Resources
From the inventive minds that brought us the award-winning adult animation, Big Mouth comes the even edgier and adult-ier Human Resources. The spin-off pulls back the curtain on the daily lives of the creatures—Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, Shame Wizards and many more, helping humans journey through every aspect of life from puberty to parenthood to the twilight years. Featuring an all-star voice cast—including Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph and David Thewlis reprising their Big Mouth roles. Watch Human Resources here.

Set in one of Australia’s most famous coastal towns, this showreels in a bunch of influencers (will you recognise them, unsure) who are all on a mission to make their big break. Watch Byron Baes here.
Pieces Of Her
The last time we saw Toni Collete grace our screens in a Netflix series was when Unbelievabledropped and we all lost our collective marbles. It was great, no? So it goes without saying her next show, Pieces Of Her, is an unmissable piece of content you need in your life. In a sleepy Georgia town, a random act of violence sets off an unexpected chain of events for 30-year-old Andy Oliver and her mother Laura. Desperate for answers, Andy embarks on a dangerous journey across America, drawing her towards the dark, hidden heart of her family. Watch Pieces Of Her here.
Vikings: Valhalla
Set over a hundred years after the end of the original Vikings series (you’re all over that, right?), this spinoff chronicles the heroic adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived—the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson) and the ever-ambitious Nordic prince, Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter). At this point in history, tensions between the Vikings and English royals are at a breaking point. Watch it here.

Based on the award-winning video game of 2017 that smashed onto the scene with a stunning retro animation style (inspired by the likes of Walt Disney Animation Studios and Fleischer Studios), The Cuphead Show! is a character-driven comedy series following the unique misadventures of loveable, impulsive scamp Cuphead and his easily swayed brother Mugman. The two spend their days exploring their surreal home of the Inkwell Isles and getting up to all sorts of mayhem. And yes, this Netflix show is indeed made for adults.
Inventing Anna
If you haven’t heard the story of convicted fraudster Anna Delvey (more notably known as the ‘Soho grifter’), you’re in for a treat. Inventing Anna, written by Shonda Rhimes, is based on the real-life events of the aforementioned con-woman who basically went out and convinced all of New York’s high society and socialite scene that she was a German heiress. The truth? Her name was Anna Sorokin and was a con artist from Russia. In Inventing Anna, a journalist with a lot to prove investigates the case of Anna Delvey, the Instagram-legendary German heiress who worked her way up the social ranks of New York and scammed hotels, banks, art dealers—the lot. Anna and the reporter form a dark, funny love-hate bond as Anna awaits trial and our reporter fights the clock to answer the biggest question in NYC: who is Anna Delvey?
All Of Us Are Dead
We hate to make parallels to Squid Game but let’s just say All Of Us Are Dead is the new K-series that will fill that void. A group of students trapped in a high school find themselves in dire situations as they seek to be rescued from a zombie invasion of their school. It’s heinous, it’s messy and it’s damn amazing.
Murderville
Murderville is comedy meets crime and we’re absolutely here for it. Meet Senior Detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett), Homicide Division. For Terry, every day means a new murder case and a new celebrity guest star as his partner. But here’s the catch: each episode’s guest star isn’t being given the script. They have no idea what’s about to happen to them. Together, the guest star and Terry Seattle will have to improvise their way through the case and we guarantee you’ll be rolling on the floor with actual laughter.
