Australian thriller packed with twists that has fans hooked is now streaming free in the UK
A twisty thriller dubbed "disturbing" and "gripping" by fans is finally available to stream for free in the UK.
The Secrets She Keeps, starring Jessica De Gouw and Laura Carmichael, follows lonely pregnant woman Agatha (Carmichael) who meets successful online influencer Meghan (De Gouw), who also happens to be pregnant and is due to give birth around the same time.
They are led down a dark and dangerous path when Agatha becomes obsessed with Meghan's seemingly perfect life and the secrets they both share.
Based on the psychological thriller novel by Michael Robotham, the thriller series first aired in 2020 on 10Play in Australia before a second series hit Paramount+ two years later.

Those who have seen The Secrets She Keeps said they binged it all and were left hooked, with one IMDb user calling the show "disturbing" while another said it was "a tense, gripping watch".
While many praised the performances of De Gouw and Carmichael, others branded the narrative "predictable" in many ways despite its "unexpected" twists.
The Secrets She Keeps currently holds an impressive 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with RogerEbert.com saying in its review: "A very watchable, albeit slightly shallow, exploration of how femininity and motherhood intertwine and toxify."
Paste Magazine added: "Without performances as layered and emotionally sound as the ones Carmichael and De Gouw give, The Secrets She Keeps would be little more than the aforementioned pulpy ride. It's still pretty cockamamie, but in a way that is also fully believable."

The Guardian added: "The bedrock of the show is credible, serious drama, though this is undercut from time to time by pulpy genre elements more befitting old-school Ozploitation thrillers - such as 1979's Snapshot."
Speaking to Radio Times, Downton Abbey star Carmichael opened up about the drastic difference between her role as Agatha and as Edith Crawley in the smash hit period drama.
"You can't control what other people think of you," she says. "I enjoy a challenge, and I'm keen to try on different hats. When you do something for a long time, things become comfortable – you want to push yourself.
"It's been such a gift being in Downton. It's opened so many doors. If another period drama came across my desk... if I loved the script, I wouldn't be too nervous of entering that world. But at the moment I'm drawn to things that feel different."
The Secrets She Keeps is available to stream now on Channel 4.

Is Supacell season 2 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 13, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 13, 2025, 12:20 IST Netflix's British superhero series Supacell took the streaming world by storm with its fresh take on the superhero genre, blending gritty South London vibes with sci-fi thrills. After its critically acclaimed first season, which earned a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, fans are eagerly awaiting news about Supacell Season 2. One question is on everyone's mind: Is Supacell Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming season. Is Supacell Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Good news for fans: Supacell Season 2 is officially happening! Netflix confirmed the renewal on August 13, 2024, following the massive success of Season 1, which garnered 33.4 million views globally and spent six weeks in Netflix's Top 10 English-language series. Showrunner Rapman (Andrew Onwubolu) has teased that Season 2 will be a game-changer, likening Season 1 to Batman Begins and Season 2 to The Dark Knight for its darker, more intense narrative. However, despite some speculation, Supacell Season 2 is not confirmed to release in June 2025. While one source suggested a potential June 26, 2025, premiere, recent production updates indicate otherwise. Filming, originally slated for early 2025, has been delayed to October 2025, pushing the expected release to late 2026 or possibly 2027. Supacell Season 2 Plot: What to Expect Supacell Season 1 followed five Black South Londoners—Michael, Sabrina, Andre, Rodney, and Tazer—who unexpectedly develop superpowers linked to sickle cell disease. The season ended on a heartbreaking cliffhanger, with Michael (Tosin Cole) vowing revenge after failing to save his fiancée, Dionne, from a tragic death. A post-credits scene revealed Victoria (Sian Brooke) as the true leader of The Organization, a shadowy group hunting superpowered individuals, setting up a major conflict for Season 2. Rapman has teased that Season 2 will dive deeper into the consequences of the characters' powers and explore darker themes. Michael's quest for vengeance will likely drive the narrative, as he travels to the future to uncover answers about The Organization. Expect new challenges, potential new 'supes,' and a focus on the group uniting to confront Victoria's ruthless agenda. Rapman has also hinted at a three-season arc, suggesting Season 2 will escalate the stakes significantly. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

When is 'How to Train Your Dragon' coming to streaming? Here's our best guess
DreamWorks is whisking us away on a fantastical adventure with Hiccup and Toothless in the live-action remake of "How to Train Your Dragon." Fifteen years after the original movie, this new release takes us back to the island of Berk and reintroduces us to its Viking residents, who have been warring with dragons for generations. Amid all the trouble, Hiccup (Mason Thames) befriends the lovable Night Fury dragon, Toothless, and their unlikely bond challenges the very foundations of Viking society. Despite trepidation around this trend of remakes, "How to Train Your Dragon" looks to be off to a flying start. The new release is Certified Fresh on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, and currently holds a near-perfect 99% rating from fans, too. Waiting to watch "How to Train Your Dragon" from the comfort of your own sofa? Well, we do not currently have a confirmed home release date for the new movie. However, if you're waiting to watch the live-action movie at home, or you've already seen it and want to relive the adventure all over again, here's my best guess at the "How to Train Your Dragon" streaming date. At the time of writing, the only way to watch the live-action "How to Train Your Dragon" remake is by heading to your local movie theater, and seeing as it only came to theaters on June 13, that probably won't change for a while yet. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And, of course, would-be streamers will first have to wait for the movie to do the rounds on premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms, first. However, being a Universal release, we can at least presume that when "How to Train Your Dragon" comes to streaming, it'll first be made available to watch on Peacock. At the time of writing, I'd guess that "How to Train Your Dragon" will come to Peacock at some point in October 2025. That's based on how long we've waited for past DreamWorks features to come to NBCUniversal's streamer. For example, we waited 120 days between "The Wild Robot's" theatrical and streaming debut. Similarly, "Dog Man" came to Peacock on Friday, May 30, 120 days after it premiered in theaters on January 31, while "Kung Fu Panda 4" had a slightly quicker turnaround, arriving on Peacock 106 days after hitting theaters in March 2024. Of course, if the "How to Train Your Dragon" live-action remake really takes flight at the box office, there's always the chance it might stay in theaters even longer. And, of course, that above release window is just a guess; nothing's official just yet. As and when we get a confirmed "How To Train Your Dragon" streaming date, we'll be sure to update this article and include it here, so keep checking back. If you're looking for more streaming fun while you wait to watch "How to Train Your Dragon" at home, why not check out our guide to the best family movies on Netflix for more recommendations fit for your next family movie night?

TikTok Has Made It Possible for This Single Dad to Do Everything — Except Date (Exclusive)
Dylan Mondo is a full-time single dad to four children and shares looks into his parenting journey on his TikTok account, @EverythingDad Social media has allowed Mondo to provide for his family for years, as he started by running an Instagram page dedicated to couponing and finding bargain deals Though his platform has allowed him to do so much for his kids, it's hindered one area entirely: datingOne single dad has been trying to do it all. Dylan Mondo, known online as @EverythingDad, is a full-time single dad to four kids, ages 13, 12, 10 and 6. His everyday content isn't flashy or elaborately edited day-in-the-life videos, but instead, he shares glimpses of the mundanity that comes with running a household as a single father. Users will recognize videos of him making dinner for his four kids, doing his youngest daughters' hair for school, tidying up after a busy day or just showing what few quiet moments he can find in between the chaos. Before he started his TikTok account, Mondo, 31, ran an Instagram account dedicated to couponing. While he was still with his kids' mother, he says the family operated on a single income, and he dreamed of being able to have stockpiles of necessities like some of the best couponers. 'Things were tough, and I was always looking for ways to save money,' he says. 'I've always been a provider for my family. I've always done everything. I've always taken care of everyone. And so I started the coupon dad because I fell into all these moms couponing, and I was like, okay, all these ladies are doing this. I can do this too.' As Mondo mastered couponing, he started an Instagram account to share his thrifty tips with other parents, hoping to save some money, posting his exact hacks for free. 'I just wanted to help people. I wasn't making any money, and everyone was expecting me to post what deals to get, where to go, what to do,' he explains. 'And then my posts started going viral, so I gained like 200,000 followers over a year… It just became this spot for parents to come and shop for their house and shop for their kids, because I'm a bargain shopper.' That Instagram account, now called The Saving Dad, currently sits at more than 315,000 followers, and the affiliate marketing income through that account allowed him to quit his corporate job of 10 years while still providing for his kids. He eventually began expanding his brand. He began filming TikToks during his separation from the mother of his children, which he tells PEOPLE was 'the hardest time of my life.' 'I just thought one day I was like, man, this is hard. This is hard work. It's a lot of work doing this by yourself. There's got to be people that are struggling just like me,' Mondo says. 'I was like, why don't I just set up the camera and just start filming myself? So basically I turned one of the hardest times in my life to, I don't know, I guess you could say the best times.' That account now has 2.9 million followers. A platform that often comes with privacy concerns — especially for parenting creators — but Mondo has developed a balance in his filming schedule, only taking the camera with him for small snippets of his day. 'I used it as a form of therapy. I was being creative. I just started filming and editing the regular things that I do as a dad, and it really resonated with people and it kind of kept me going,' he says. 'I literally just picked up the camera and started recording. There was nothing to it. I didn't plan to get anything out of it.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. For Mondo, he says the purpose of his larger platform is to inspire others who are parenting alone, and he's received plenty of comments and messages from other fathers who have resonated with his content. 'I'll get comments where dads are like, 'You make me want to be a better dad,' or 'You make me want to be more present.' Or like, 'I'm learning how to do my daughter's hair because of you,' ' Mondo says. 'That's the reason why I do what I do… There are some people who don't think that it's possible or don't think it's realistic or they can't do this. But I mean, in my world, this is what I can do. And if I can do it, I think anyone is capable of doing it. We all live in the same 24 hours.' 'You don't see very many men doing social media or doing what we do,' he continues. 'So I think it's refreshing for people to see dads being so involved, especially online. I mean, I'm sure there's tons of dads out there who are involved, but on social media, you don't see too much of it.' With an audience that's primarily women, Mondo says he's received largely positive comments on his content. But he acknowledges it's a double standard within the influencer sphere, as so many single moms aren't given the same grace. "I feel like the dad creators, it's so different [for them]. I mean, we all do the same thing... even the way that the people look at us, we're just doing things that the moms are doing too, yet sometimes I feel like the dads are praised a little more," he says. Mondo's four children occasionally make appearances in his slice-of-life content, though he emphasizes that it's not kid-centric; it's dad-centric. His videos showcasing the hairstyles he'll recreate on his youngest daughters have been some of his most popular on TikTok, but he says he never forces his kids to participate in his videos. 'My younger two are always like, 'Can you do my hair?' Or 'Can we make a video?'... And then my older two are like, 'Okay, dad, [my friends] found out who you are,' he laughs while noting that they even look out for his numbers, with his son reminding him to post if it's been a minute since his last video. 'They're all proud of me. They love me. They know I'm a good dad, and they know I like to do this for fun, and they support me. They love it.' As Mondo's content has become increasingly popular, he's also acutely aware of the attention it puts on him and his personal life. Though he's a self-described 'super private' person, he admits that some women online have seen his TikTok page as his 'dating profile.' 'They'll message me, and they'll try to talk to me and get to know me and stuff. But like I said, I'm not on social media for that purpose. I don't entertain that,' he says. 'And then I feel like whenever I do meet people, they already know who I am.' Dating as a single dad is already hard, but the added exposure of having a platform where he shares his life as a single father has made it 'kind of impossible' for him to seriously pursue a relationship. 'I'm really a single dad. I do everything. Everything. I've dated here and there, but it just doesn't work out,' he says. 'Kids come first, and I mean… when you're putting your kids first, I think dating as a single parent can be difficult.' Read the original article on People
