Martin Compston's 'gripping' crime thriller you may have missed is now streaming for free
Line of Duty star Martin Compston has been busy in his acting career, with the Scot having just signed up for a gripping new thriller airing on Paramount+. A "gripping" series which features Line of Duty star Martin Compston is now available to stream for free. The Ice Cream Girls first aired on ITV back in 2013. The Ice Cream Girls, based on Dorothy Koomson's novel, features Scots actor Martin Compston alongside Dune Prophecy's Jodhi May. It follows two former pals reunited 17 years after being accused of murdering their teacher (Compston) as teens. The mini-series was flooded with praise from audiences when it first aired, with one viewer on IMDb describing it as "a terrific mystery", adding: "You will be entertained and gripped until the surprising conclusion." All three episodes of the miniseries are now available on ITVX according to Digital Spy, meaning viewers in the UK can stream the show for free with ads. The 41-year-old has been busy as of late in his career, having just signed up for a gripping new thriller Revenge Club, brought by Paramount+. Based on the upcoming novel by J.D. Pennington The Othello Club, the series follows six heartbroken strangers who are brought together by a divorce support group. However in a twist of events, the six quickly utilised their therapy sessions into the opportunity for revenge against those who have wronged them in the past by forming a pact which will change their lives. The series synopsis reads: "What begins as a cathartic outlet quickly spirals into something far more dangerous, and as the group's acts of revenge escalate from mischievous pranks to deadly 'accidents,' the line between justice and murder begins to blur." Alongside Compston the series will also star Slow Horses Aimée-Ffion Edwards, Barbie 's Sharon Rooney, The Wheel of Time 's Meera Syal, Shetland actor Douglas Henshall and Sex Education 's Chaneil Kular. Meanwhile, just a few short months ago Martin Compston provided an exciting update for Line of Duty fans, with the popular show reportedly returning soon to screens for a seventh series. Despite many fans getting their hopes up, it might not be the update they were looking for. The Scottish acting star hinted that although its return is imminent, new episodes are "a way off". The BBC police drama had people across the country gripped during its six seasons between 2012 and 2021. Rumours of a follow-up in the hit show have been swirling in recent months, with Compston pictured catching up with his beloved co-stars Adrian Dunbar and Vicky McClure this year, as we reported previously. In a recent interview with The Sun, the Scots star, who plays Steve Arnott, was optimistic about the series returning in the future, though he did concede that it may take a while, given the schedules of his co-stars. "We're always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot," he said. "Everybody's got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off. "You know, the day people stop asking about the show will be a sad day, so I'm delighted that people are still excited about it. We'd all love to work together again at some point. We still all meet up. "I met with Jed [Mercurio, the show's creator], Adrian [Dunbar] and Vicky [McClure] in London before Christmas - we went out for dinner, to hear what everyone's up to," added Compston, who played the role of Steve in all six seasons.

Smurfs OTT release: Where and when to expect the animated comedy drama online
Smurfs OTT release: Smurfs, which hit the screens on July 18, has created a buzz among fans with its inherently amusing storyline and intriguing trailer. The animated film, which is a reboot of the live-action The Smurfs film series, is backed by Paramount Pictures. This means that the audience can expect it to premiere on Paramount+, the banner's streaming service, after its run in theatres. The official release date is yet to be announced. However, Paramount movies usually premiere on OTT two months after their release. Going by this, Smurfs is likely to be on the platform by mid-September Smurfs plot and cast explored In the 2025 animated film Smurfs, Smurfette (voiced by Rihanna) takes charge when Papa Smurf (John Goodman) is taken captive by the villainous duo of Gargamel and Razamel. Joined by the quirky newbie No Name Smurf (James Corden), she leads the Smurfs on an epic quest across Paris, Munich, and the Australian Outback. During this magical journey, Smurftette and her allies face magical threats and form unlikely alliances. They also realise the importance of unity and teamwork. Directed by Chris Miller and written by Pam Brady, Smurfs also stars Sandra Oh, Dan Levy, Octavia Spencer, Nick Offerman, and Maya Erskine in key voice roles. It is a reboot of The Smurfs film saga. The franchise includes The Smurfs (2011), The Smurfs 2 (2013), Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017), Smurfs review Smurfs has failed to impress critics. The comedy drama holds an underwhelming score of 21% on Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator website, based on 70 reviews. 'Antic and zany without being particularly fun, this incarnation of Smurfs just isn't the smurfest tool in the shed,' reads the critics' consensus. This has affected its commercial performance. Smurfs box office performance Shot on a budget of $ 58 million, Smurfs had the potential to emerge as a money spinner. This, however, has not happened. It has made $2.9 million so far and failed to click with the audience. It faces competition from last week's release Superman globally. In India, Saiyaara (released this Friday) has emerged as the top choice of the audience.
