The Studio

Seth Rogen wrote and stars in what could be the best new comedy series of the year. Featuring A-list cameos from the likes of Martin Scorses and Ron Howard, The Studio is both a satire of Hollywood and a love letter to cinema. Rogen plays Matt Remick, an idealistic Hollywood studio head who has been overpromoted by circumstance and his own cravenness. With Kathryn Hahn and Bryan Cranston stealing scenes around him, his problems escalate fast. The result is a clever, surprisingly heartfelt and – most importantly – funny show.

Pluribus

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan worked with Rhea Seehorn on Better Call Saul. He liked what she did so much, he created a show just for her. This is it: a post-apocalyptic thriller that, like his most famous series, is set in Alburquerque. Except this time, most of humanity has succumbed to a virus that joins everyone together in an endlessly happy hive mind. Seehorn’s Carol – cynical, angry, independent minded – appears to be immune. As the full extent of Carol’s situation is unpacked across nine episodes, Seehorn delivers the performance Gilligan hoped for, obstinate and unbreakable in the face of both existential crises and medical emergencies.

Kristen Wiig's social climber returns to 1969 Palm Beach more desperate than ever. Following last season's humiliating collapse, Maxine must claw her way back into high society's good graces. Palm Royale’s production design remains impeccable – every frame oozes mid-century glamour – while the ensemble cast (Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Carol Burnett) is clearly having a lot of fun alongside newcomers John Stamos and Patti LuPone. Camp yet dark, this is more than just a guilty pleasure.

Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars

All Of You

In this sci-fi-tinged film, Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots star as lifelong friends whose relationship shifts when she takes a test revealing her scientific soulmate. Best known as Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, Goldstein reveals a new vulnerability that’s matched by Poots (The Chronology of Water). Director William Bridges – an Emmy-winning writer for Black Mirror – is also trying something different, eschewing the high-concept spectacle of that series for an intimate character study. Chemistry between the leading pair plus some non-linear storytelling help make All of You a very grown-up romance.

The Lost Bus

Paul Greengrass (BourneUnited 93) directs this survival drama based on California's devastating 2018 Camp Fire. Matthew McConaughey plays a bus driver navigating 22 children through the inferno, alongside teacher America Ferrera. Greengrass draws once more on his signature handheld style to create a very real tension, while avoiding disaster-movie clichés. The Lost Bus is an intense reminder of nature's terrifying power and our courage in the face of it.
