WEDNESDAY
The Studio, Apple TV+
In a world of AI hype and PR spin, Seth Rogen’s new comedy The Studio is here to rip Hollywood apart – one disaster at a time. Rogen (Superbad, Pineapple Express) stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of failing Continental Studios. With the film industry on life support, he and his dysfunctional team of execs scramble to survive – juggling egotistical artists, ruthless corporate overlords and their own crippling insecurities. Joining Rogen is a killer cast: Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) as Patty, Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along, WandaVision) as Maya, Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies) as Quinn and Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project) as Sal. Plus, there’s a host of A-list cameos from the likes of Paul Dano, Zac Efron, Zoë Kravitz, Martin Scorsese, Greta Lee, Charlize Theron, Olivia Wilde, Adam Scott, Steve Buscemi and Anthony Mackie – all playing wild versions of themselves.

FRIDAY
La Cocina
First there was Boiling Point, then The Bear, and now there’s La Cocina. Loosely inspired by Arnold Wesker’s 1959 play The Kitchen, Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios relocates the action to New York’s Times Square, inside the bustling, chaotic restaurant, The Grill. New to the city, Estela (Anna Díaz) arrives in search of work. When cash vanishes from the till, ambitious Pedro (Raúl Briones, A Cop Movie) finds himself under scrutiny. Meanwhile, waitress Julia (Rooney Mara, Carol, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) struggles with her own dilemmas. Shot in striking black and white, and shaped by Ruizpalacios’s own experience working in a London kitchen, La Cocina is a claustrophobic yet compelling look at the unseen world behind the pass.

SUNDAY

When it comes to grit and gangsters, few do it like Guy Ritchie. The mastermind behind Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch made waves on TV last year with Netflix hit The Gentlemen.

As two feuding London crime families – the Harrigans and the Stevensons – go to war, fixer Harry Da Souza (Hardy) is caught in the chaos.
