Based on the bestselling book series of the same name by Martha Wells, Murderbot is a comedy/thriller about a security robot who begins to develop free will. It hides its intelligence and reluctantly joins a group of scientists on a dangerous assignment when all it really wants is to be left alone to binge-watch futuristic soap operas – until things go sideways.

Alexander Skarsgard (Succession) plays the robot alongside an ensemble cast including Noma Dumezweni (Presumed Innocent), David Dastmalchian (Oppenheimer) and Sabrina Wu (Joy Ride) among others.

Long Way Home (Apple TV+)

Since 2004, Ewan McGregor and his best friend Charley Boorman have turned their motorcycle journeys into three hit TV shows – Long Way Round, Long Way Down and Long Way Up – and two bestselling books. Their fourth international trip and show is called Long Way Home, now streaming on Apple TV+.

For this journey, the duo travel across 17 European countries on cranky old bikes, starting at McGregor’s home in Scotland, going into Holland, up through the Nordics, Arctic Circle, down to the Baltics, before going through the Alps and France. They spent about two months on the road before finishing at Boorman's home in England.

Japanese manga series Kakegurui, written by Homura Kawamoto and illustrated by Toru Naomura, has been hugely successful since its release in 2014. It has spawned an anime series, novels, live-action TV and film adaptations and even a video game.

Netflix, which bought streaming rights to the anime series, is now introducing a live-action English version.

The original story centres on a prestigious school where the social status of students is decided through gambling. When one new student learns the cheating methods of other gamblers, she disrupts the status quo, causing chaos.

In the premise for Bet, the new student is given a mysterious past and she's set on revenge.

The Brutalist has been a rousing success since it was first screened to rave reviews at the Venice Film Festival in September. It has grossed more than $50 million globally on a $10 million budget, and it was nominated for 10 categories at the 2025 Oscars, where it won three – including Brody's second for Best Actor.
