Netflix shares first look at 'Oppenheimer' star Cillian Murphy's new movie — and we already have a release date
"Peaky Blinders" lead Cillian Murphy is heading back to Netflix for "Steve," a new drama movie due to arrive this fall — and the streaming service has just shared several key details about the new release. "Steve" is a reimagining of "Shy," a bestselling novel from English author Max Porter that Netflix bills as "a moving glimpse into the lives of two troubled souls." Written by Porter himself and directed by Tim Mielants (reuniting with Murphy after helming "Small Things Like These" in 2024), "Steve" is the story of a head teacher fighting to prevent the impending closure of his reform school. Steve's story is told in parallel with that of the struggle of one of his troubled students, Shy (played by Jay Lycurgo). In addition to giving us our first look at our lead (see the image above), Netflix has also shared some key info about the story, the cast, and we've already got a release date. Here's what we know about "Steve" right now. Netflix has shared a plot synopsis for "Steve," and it offers a few more details about this emotional drama. It reads: "Set in the mid-'90s, "Steve" is a reimagining of Max Porter's Sunday Times bestseller "Shy." The film follows a pivotal day in the life of head teacher Steve (Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy) and his students at a last-chance reform school amid a world that has forsaken them. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "As Steve fights to protect the school's integrity and prevent its impending closure, he grapples with his own mental health. In parallel to Steve's struggles, we meet Shy (Jac Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence." In addition to Cillian Murphy, "Steve" also stars Tracey Ullman, Simbi Ajikawo, and fellow "Small Things Like These" star Emily Watson. Their roles remain undisclosed at the time of writing. While we don't have a trailer just yet, Netflix has already confirmed the "Steve" release date. The movie's due to hit "select theaters" in September, before premiering globally on Netflix on Friday, October 3, 2025.

The Ultimatum Queer Love S2: When are the next episodes out?
If you're in the mood for another dating reality show to keep you occupied in the evenings then you need to add The Ultimatum Queer Love to your list. The second season of the Netflix show has just started and already it's as, if not more, chaotic than last time. There's matching tattoos, sex playlists and declarations of love, and that's just one couple. The series, which first started in 2023, follows six queer couples, with one half of each couple issuing the other an ultimatum of marriage. The original couples then breakup and becomes 'exes'. The 12 cast members then spend one week getting to know the other cast and at the end of that week they decide who they want to enter a trial marriage with. They then spend three weeks together before they go back to their original partner and have a three week trial marriage with them. The series then ends with the cast deciding if they want to stay in their original couple and get engaged, switch it up and get together with their new partner, or leave the show single. The first episodes have already dropped on Netflix and here's everything to know about when to expect the next ones. More than two years after the first season debuted on Netflix, season two of The Ultimatum Queer Love arrived on the streamer on 25 June 2025. The streamer released seven episodes on the day of release and the final three episodes are due to come out next week. It's a little different to the first season which had three drops of episodes. Clear you calendars! The first seven episodes of The Ultimatum Queer Love are available on Netflix now and the final three will land on Netflix on 2nd July at 8am BST. Here's the full episode release schedule: Right now it hasn't been confirmed if there will be a reunion episode but if there is we would expect this to then be released at least a week after the final three episodes, most likely on 9 July. The Ultimatum Queer Love season two is available on Netflix now
