What To Watch This Week 23.03.26

Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, Disney+

For anyone who grew up with Hannah Montana, this nostalgic special is a chance to revisit the charm and comedy of Miley Stewart’s double life. Rather than picking up the story where it left off, it leans into celebration mode – with a live studio audience, a recreation of the original set and plenty of throwback moments. Also on the cards is a candid interview with Miley Cyrus by Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper.

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, Netflix

If you like your romance with a darker edge, this new series leans into the unease that can sit beneath even the happiest love stories. Starring Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco as a couple preparing to tie the knot, the story unfolds across the week leading up to their wedding – a period that should feel joyful but instead becomes increasingly fraught. As the big day approaches, small doubts begin to creep in, quickly escalating into something far more disconcerting. Blending psychological tension with moments of offbeat humour, the show explores the idea that commitment – and the pressure to get it right – can be as unsettling as it is romantic. With a supporting cast that includes Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ted Levine, it’s a stylish, slightly surreal take on relationships – and the anxieties that come with them.

Bait, Amazon Prime 

Created by and starring Riz Ahmed (Sound Of Metal), this dark comedy takes aim at identity, fame and modern Britain. He plays a struggling actor who has just bombed an audition for James Bond whose career then takes an unexpected turn after he’s mistaken for Dev Patel – a mix-up that goes viral and opens doors he couldn’t access before. What follows is a sharp, slightly surreal story that blends industry satire with more serious themes around race, perception and belonging.

The Pitt, HBO Max

One of the most talked-about new releases lands in the UK this week – thanks to HBO Max – and it more than delivers. Starring Noah Wyle, The Pitt is a high-intensity medical drama told in real time, following a single shift in a busy hospital in Pittsburgh. Each episode throws up new cases, from ethically complex end-of-life decisions to unpredictable emergencies, all handled at relentless pace. Of course, there are plenty of personal difficulties simmering below the surface among the frontline workers too.

Splitsville, In Cinemas

This sharp relationship comedy explores what happens when modern love gets messy. When Ashley (Adria Arjona) asks for a divorce, her husband Carey (Kyle Marvin) turns to friends played by Dakota Johnson and director Michael Angelo Covino – whose open marriage seems to have it all figured out. That is, until Carey decides to test the boundaries for himself. What follows is a spiral of crossed lines, bruised egos and awkward revelations – smart, chaotic and knowingly funny.
