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.

Esther McGregor Reflects on Her Famous Family and Finding Her Path
Justin French Mididress, boots, Gucci. Bracelet, ring, Van Cleef & Arpels. It was one of the most significant moments of her career, and Esther McGregor was experiencing it on her phone. When two major projects, and , premiered at the Venice Film Festival, she was an ocean away, filming her new series We Were Liars in Nova Scotia. 'I felt the excitement through my iPhone,' she recalls. 'I was reading the articles sent to me in the midst of the craze of filming, and being like, Whoa.' We Were Liars is McGregor's first costarring role, and while she's tried a lot of things (modeling, music, and tattoo artistry), she knows now that there's only one central thing she's meant to be doing. 'I live and breathe acting,' she says. She's doing a lot of it. In the past 18 months, she's been able to work with legends like Pedro Almodóvar, Nicole Kidman, Halina Reijn, Julianne Moore, and Tilda Swinton (McGregor is a big Narnia fan). She recently booked a role in the film Clean Hands as Zach Braff's daughter. Justin French Mididress, Gucci. Ring, Van Cleef & Arpels. Working with this caliber of director is particularly meaningful for someone who was raised immersed in international film. McGregor's father is actor Ewan McGregor, and her mother, Eve Mavrakis, is a production designer. Growing up surrounded by acting only helped grow her love of the craft. 'I definitely came out singing, for sure,' she says. 'But being in close proximity to anything will build its charm—I immediately fell in love with it.' 'But being in close proximity to anything will build its charm—I immediately fell in love with [acting].' Her background and advantages gave her career a boost, and also provided her with an example of what it could look like. 'I want to give the gratitude that I think deserves its place, in terms of being raised in a family in film. Being able to be on sets really aided that love and that breath and that heartbeat. As much as I don't think I would be able to do anything else, who knows? It was the way that I was born, the world I was born into. So I feel very thankful that I'm able to do what I do, because I need it.' Justin French Blazer, shirt, trousers, Saint Laurent. Before she gained renown for her acting, McGregor caught the public eye as a model for brands like Miu Miu and Dolce & Gabbana. It was something that she'd first dabbled in as a student at NYU, as a multidisciplinary major that incorporated fashion. 'I randomly started doing little photo shoots with my sister [model and actress Clara McGregor] and with people around New York City, like artists and my friends that were selling clothes' and needed someone to model them. 'It just [turned] into something a bit bigger than I thought it would be,' she says. Justin French Mididress, boots, Gucci. Bracelet, ring, Van Cleef & Arpels. Music is also important to McGregor. She released an EP with fellow musician and longtime friend Leo Major, as part of the duo French Thyme. She also loves tattoo art. She got into it when auditions and acting opportunities slowed down during the pandemic, opening a tattoo shop called Pink Ether, right by the Empire State Building, with her friend Melissa Monroe. 'It's like a therapeutic heartbeat...I've always been fascinated with tattoo artists and the art, but I never imagined myself being in that position. Now I can't imagine myself living without it,' McGregor says. 'When I'm home on my time off, I do it. I do it whenever I can.' Pink Ether closed when she moved back to Los Angeles, but the art remains important to her. She even celebrated the last day of filming We Were Liars in Canada by tattooing one of the show's crew. 'Something that I have to work on daily is this idea of perfection, and having to make sure that you are perfect for everyone at all times.' Justin French Blazer, shirt, trousers, Saint Laurent. 'I couldn't sit still when I was little, and I couldn't do everything that I wanted to do. My mom was great and really taught me how to be bored. But I birthed way too many hobbies,' McGregor explains. 'I'm glad that I've solidified them down to a few, and that I let them come and go when they need to.' She sees some of her own passion in Mirren, her teenage character in We Were Liars , a Prime Video adaptation of the ultra-popular 2014 book by E. Lockhart. McGregor was thrilled at the chance to play a younger character who reminded her of herself. 'I tried to conquer the world the same way that she did at that age. I was poisoned with empathy, and I found it really hard to be deceiving, or to be untruthful and messy and not perfect,' she says. 'She's one of the first characters I've played who has this bounciness of youth. Her youth is very energetic.' Justin French Mididress, Gucci. Bracelet, ring, Van Cleef & Arpels. Mirren has also helped McGregor confront challenges of her own: 'In my personal life, and I think Mirren is the same way, I will always be able to be happy for others and in front of others, but hold a lot of emotion and deep feeling,' she says. 'Something that I have to work on daily is this idea of perfection, and having to make sure that you are perfect for everyone at all times.' One of the many things she loves about acting? It lets her see more of herself.
