Winter's closing in, which can only mean one thing: it's time to get snuggly on the couch and settle in for good old binge watch!
Good news: there are plenty of great shows on the way.
Ready, set, watch!
And just like that, we're back with the girls! Can we still call them that? Probably not, they're well into their 50s. But true to form, they're still living their best New York lives. This season begins with Carrie settled into her enormous new Brownstone, Miranda dating up a storm (Che Diaz is out of the picture), and Charlotte still knee-deep in teen life. Frothy, escapist fun.
Starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson, this series is about an over-the-hill pro golfer (Wilson) who, after the collapse of his life and his marriage, decides to hedge his bets and mentor a 17-year-old golf prodigy called Santi (Peter Dager). Described as a 'heartfelt, feel-good sports comedy', it's already getting lots of buzz. Ted Lasso 2.0?
There have been some great British crime dramas doing the rounds of late, and this one, starring Sean Bean as a cocaine smuggling gangster called Ronnie Phelan, is up there, having already generated plenty of buzz in the UK. Joining Bean are James Nelson-Joyce as Ronnie's associate and Hannah Onslow as the woman he falls for — their love story is at the centre of the story.
Based on the enormously popular book by Jane Harper, this stars The Rings Of Power's Charlie Vickers as Kieran Elliott, a man returning to his home town in Tasmania, along with his partner (Yerin Ha, who'll soon be seen as the romantic lead in the upcoming series of Bridgerton), haunted by a tragedy that changed their lives years earlier. When a woman's body is discovered on the beach, the truth of what really occurred comes to light. Emily Alyn Lind and Shubham Maheshwari star in We Were Liars. Credit: Jessie Redmond / Prime
Based on the bestselling novel by E. Lockhart, the series follows the story of wealthy teen Cadence Sinclair Eastman (Emily Alyn Lind) and her close-knit group of friends, nicknamed The Liars. Cadence, from a privileged and secretive family, returns to their private island a year after a mysterious accident changed her life — dark secrets begin to emerge. One for younger viewers.
If you've ever made a mixtape, then this one's for you! Based on the novel by Jane Sanderson, this tells the story of two teen lovers, Alison (Teresa Palmer) and Daniel (Jim Sturgess), living in Sheffield, England, in 1989 who drift apart, only to reconnect years later on the other side of the world. This has big One Day energy, and fans of that nostalgic Netflix series will want to check this out. Bay of Fires, starring Marta Dusseldorp, is back for a second season. Credit: Supplied
Season two of this Tasmanian-set dark comedy is hitting screens mid-June. It sees Marta Dusseldorp returning to reprise her role as mum-on-the-run, Stella. She's still stuck in Mystery Bay, but good news — no one has tried to kill her in recent months! But things won't stay smooth-sailing for long — you can't mess with the Russian mafia and not expect consequences.
Those that love a period drama will be pleased to see that this under-the-radar favourite is returning for a third season. The Julian Fellowes-created show follows New York's upper-crust as they navigate life in the 'Gilded Age'. Come for the fabulous frocks, stay for sensational performances from The White Lotus' Carrie Coon and Christine Baranski.
Disney is doing fans a solid favour and dropping all 10 episodes of the fourth season at the same time — winning! This season sees Carmy, Sydney and Richie determined to move forward after the disastrous run-up to the opening of their fine dining establishment. Can they overcome all that toxicity and pull together as a team? We can't wait to find out.
If you've seen the trailer for the third and final season of Squid Game, chances are you'll be bracing for the show's release — it looks scary as heck! This final series picks up from season two's devastating cliffhanger, and thrusts Gi-hun (Player 456) back into the game — he's more determined than ever to dismantle it once and for all. This one's shaping up to be big.

Robert Irwin on Prince William: 'An environmental hero'
Robert Irwin says he loved getting the chance to work with Prince William and share their mutual passion for conservation. The 21-year-old Australian recently teamed up with the heir to the British throne after he was was named a Global Ambassador for the Prince of Wales' Earthshot Prize. "I think Prince William has been such an amazing person to work with, and there is such an incredible synergy between what he does and who he is and who we are," he told UsWeekly. "It's all about conservation." ""I think it's wonderful that someone so influential - that has such a fantastic platform - is using that to really better our environment," he said. "He is a true environmental hero, and so working with him has been a great privilege." Irwin insists that everyone needs to "prioritise" the environment, saying William is "at the forefront" of that movement. "We've definitely compared a lot of notes in the conservation space," he said. "We need to prioritise taking care of our natural world. And he's really at the forefront of that. "And plus, he's just a great guy. When you have a conversation with him, he's the most lovely, intelligent person to talk to and is just so easygoing, so much fun. "And I love working with him.

Prince Harry asked uncle Earl Spencer for advice about changing his surname to honour his late mother amid deepening royal rift, insider reveals
Prince Harry reportedly considered dropping his royal surname in favour of Spencer, the maiden name of his late mother Princess Diana, as tensions with his family continue to escalate. The 40-year-old royal, who is fifth in line to the British throne, has "actively explored ways to assume his mother's surname", sources told Richard Eden of The Daily Mail. It's understood he even discussed the issue with his uncle, Charles Earl Spencer, 61, during a recent trip to the UK. "They had a very amicable conversation, and Spencer advised him against taking such a step," a friend of Harry's told the outlet, noting that the legal and logistical challenges were ultimately considered too great. Had he proceeded, the move would have meant rejecting the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, the official last name used by Harry and his wife Meghan Markle's children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, who turns four this week. Mountbatten-Windsor is a combination of the late Queen Elizabeth II's royal family name and the late Prince Philip's adopted surname. Philip took on the name Mountbatten after becoming a naturalised British citizen and renouncing his Greek and Danish royal titles in 1947. The name itself traces back to Philip's maternal uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, a significant influence not only on Philip but also on his great-nephew, King Charles III. Harry himself, born Henry Charles Albert David, has traditionally used titles rather than a surname. During their school years and military service, both Harry and his brother William went by the surname Wales, derived from their father's title, the then Prince of Wales. Photos from their time in the armed forces show Harry's uniform badge labelled "Harry Wales". In 2018, Queen Elizabeth II granted Harry the title Duke of Sussex upon his marriage to Markle, who became the Duchess of Sussex. Despite leaving the Royal Family and moving to the US in 2020, Meghan has stated she continues to use "Sussex" as her surname to share the same name as her children. In the second episode of her Netflix cooking show "With Love, Meghan," she corrected guest Mindy Kaling, saying, "It's so funny you keep saying 'Meghan Markle', you know I'm Sussex now." She added, "You have kids and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children'. I didn't know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go 'This is OUR family name. Our little family name'." Controversy further arose when Meghan was accused of using the "HRH" title privately, despite an agreement with Buckingham Palace not to do so after stepping back from royal duties. The issue came to light after a gift basket sent to a friend included a card signed "HRH The Duchess of Sussex". Meanwhile, Prince Harry remains publicly estranged from senior royals, though he recently told the BBC he "would love a reconciliation". "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," he said in a May interview following the rejection of his legal appeal regarding UK security arrangements. "Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there's no point in continuing to fight anymore." He added: "Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff. "It would be nice to reconcile." has contacted Earl Spencer and representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.

Matt Damon ditches his usual clean-cut appearance for latest movie role
Matt Damon looked unlike the clean-cut movie star we've all come to know and love at an event over the weekend. The actor headlined the Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event rocking a head full of grey hair and an unruly beard to match. The 54-year-old attended the global fan event at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, with his best friend and longtime collaborator Ben Affleck, with both giving fans a first look at their upcoming crime-thriller, The Rip. However, before sharing a teaser for their new cop drama set to drop on Netflix in January 2026, Affleck roasted Damon's beard. 'I trusted Matt would shave the beard before Tudum — and here we are,' the 52-year-old actor said on stage alongside their co-stars Teyana Taylor and Sasha Calle. Damon is currently on a break in filming the Christopher Nolan-directed, fantasy film The Odyssey in Italy. In the movie, Damon plays Ancient Greek mythological hero Odysseus, which explains the beard. The blockbuster will also star Zendaya and her fiance Tom Holland, as well as A-listers Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o and Charlize Theron. Filming has been underway since February with the star-studded cast shooting in various locations in Scotland, Ireland, Morocco, Greece and Favignana, situated west of the coast of Sicily. Last month, Damon was photographed in Favignana rocking a ripped physique on a yacht as he enjoyed some time off from filming the blockbuster. As the pics went viral, Affleck joked at the time that he couldn't go anywhere without being asked about Damon's chiselled abs, especially while at the premiere of his new film The Accountant 2. 'God damn! I just went to the premiere and every interviewer, they were like they found the secret of life,' Affleck recalled on Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast on April 30, adding that reporters at screenings wouldn't stop showing him photos of Damon's six-pack. 'I was like, 'The one time he got in shape!'' But Affleck also praised his best mate for the transformation. 'It looks good,' he added. 'It ain't easy when you touch 50. You boys will see!' Damon and Affleck's upcoming film The Rip follows a group of Miami cops whose bond unravels after they discover millions in cash in a derelict stash house. As outside forces learn about their pricey discovery, no on can be trusted and they begin to turn on each other. 'This movie takes a look at the things people will do for money,' Affleck said at the Netflix event.
