Your next watch! Here are 7 of the most exciting new and trending BBC shows to stream right now
The BBC has a host of exciting new shows that are trending on iPlayer right now if you're looking for your next watch. From a real-life drama focused on the Lockerbie disaster, to the return of groundbreaking reality show I Kissed a Boy, as well as national treasure Alison Hammond's new interview series, Digital Spy has you covered for the latest highlights on the BBC. The new drama stars Sex Education's Connor Swindells and focuses on the 1988 bombing of a transatlantic flight over Scottish town Lockerbie. The tragedy resulted in the deaths of 270 people, with the six-part series centring on investigations by the UK and US governments around the bombing, as well as the personal impact the tragedy has on Lockerbie's residents, the victims' families, and the investigators. The Bombing of Pan Am 103 also features Back to Black's Eddie Marsan, Downton Abbey's Phyllis Logan, The Rings of Power's Peter Mullan and Suits' Patrick J Adams, and premiered on BBC One last week, with the first two episodes available now. Guz Khan's acclaimed comedy series is back for a fifth and final season, which picks up after that huge season 4 cliffhanger where Mobeen was attacked in prison. The character is "back on the outside and reunited with the gang in Small Heath" and "embarking on an epic adventure overseas" – that's if he "can get his hands on a plane ticket and a fake passport". The six-episode swansong is available in full on BBC iPlayer, and has been touted as an "epic finale" to the series, which first began in 2017. This Danish series is set in an apocalyptic future where rising water levels leads to mass evacuations and massive societal change, including changed fortunes, family separations, division and hatred, as well as love and new beginnings. It centres on high school student Laura, who in the wake of the evacuation is forced to choose between three of her closest loved ones. Families Like Ours was created by Another Round's Thomas Vinterberg and The Art of Crying's Bo Hr Hansen, and has largely drawn acclaim. The series first premiered in its native Denmark last year, and was recently acquired by the BBC for BBC Four and BBC iPlayer, where it is available to stream in full. The hit dating reality show is back for a second season, with a group of new boys looking for love under the eye of host and all-round icon Dannii Minogue and narrator Layton Williams (Strictly Come Dancing). I Kissed a Boy follows 10 single men who meet for the first time and share a kiss in order to see if they have a connection, before seeing it leads to something deeper. The new episodes have already won praise from viewers after contestant Adam opened up about being diagnosed with HIV in an emotional conversation. The second season premiered earlier this month, two years after the successful first run, with the first few episodes available to watch now. The historcal drama series has returned for its second season, continuing the story of the final queen of France before the French Revolution. Treadstone's Emilia Schüle stars as the titular character, with the new episodes following Marie in the wake of her mother's death as she faces greater threats while her popularity grows in France. She and Louis XVI also face a financial crisis, as well as discontent among the nobles. The show comes from creator Deborah Davis, and also features Louis Cunningham, Call the Midwife's Jack Archer and The Gentlemen's Jasmine Blackborow. All episodes are available to watch now. Chris Packham's insightful series originally began in 2023 with Inside Our Autistic Minds, which saw the presenter team up with creatives to help autistic people express how they were feeling inside. In his new specials, which are both available now on BBC iPlayer, he meets people with ADHD and dyslexia as he helps them to produce films in order to show family and friends how they feel. Among the people Chris talks to are a tour guide with ADHD and a project manager who was diagnosed with the condition later in life, as well as a school counsellor and a builder from South Wales with dyslexia. This Morning and The Great British Bake Off favourite Alison Hammond has launched a new BBC series where she hangs out with a number of famous faces for a weekend "in the places that made them who they are". Fans can expect "laughs, juicy secrets, surprises and a few tears" as she gets to know the likes of Little Mix's Perrie Edwards, comedian Jimmy Carr, Beauty and the Beast's Luke Evans, Spice Girls' Mel B, comedy legend Sir Lenny Henry and boxing champion Tony Bellew. All episodes are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer. Digital Spy's first print magazine is here!
