The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie
Kickstarting the year with a dose of high-society homicide, this three-part Agatha Christie adaptation is guaranteed to keep you glued to your screen. BAFTA winner Mia McKenna-Bruce stars as Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent, a young woman whose penchant for mischief lands her in the middle of a country house party gone horribly wrong.

The Emmy-winning Helena Bonham Carter also joins the fun as Lady Caterham, adding a layer of seasoned glamour. Expect razor-sharp wit, fast-paced drama, and enough vintage knitwear to inspire your entire winter wardrobe!
Can This Love Be Translated?
If your New Year’s resolution involves learning a new language, this K-drama rom-com might be the only motivation you need. Written by the Hong Sisters—the visionary duo behind Alchemy of Souls and Hotel del Luna—the series explores the “lost in translation” sparks between a multilingual interpreter and a global superstar. Starring the internet’s favourite “Good Boy” Kim Seon-ho, alongside the captivating Go Youn-jung. Together, they deliver a heartwarming blend of professional tension and unpredictable romance. It’s a classic “opposites attract” setup but polished with that high-gloss, Seoul-chic aesthetic we’ve come to adore. Perfect for those who enjoy their love stories with a side of subtitles and significant emotional stakes.
Single’s Inferno Season 5
The world’s hottest and most stylishly stranded singles are back for a fifth outing on “Inferno”, and we are ready for the chaos. The premise remains deliciously high-stakes: contestants must survive on a deserted island without Wi-Fi or other distractions, with their only hope of escape being a successful match and a ticket to “Paradise”—a luxury resort where ages and professions are finally revealed. Expect K-drama-worthy replays, biting live commentary from our favourite panel, and signature slow-motion beach walks. Whether you’re tuning in for the inevitable love triangles (or the increasingly messy squares and pentagons), the effortless eye candy, or simply to scout for some impeccable resort-wear inspiration, this season is set to be the ultimate heatwave.
Bridgerton Season 4
Dearest Reader, it is finally time for the second Bridgerton son to take centre stage. This season shifts the focus to the bohemian Benedict (Luke Thompson), who is famously allergic to settling down, until a mysterious “Lady in Silver” (Yerin Ha) catches his eye at a masquerade ball. This eight-part instalment is executive producer Shonda Rhimes’ take on a Cinderella story, complete with Jane Austen-worthy pining and the return of gravity-defying corsets. Whether you’re here for the orchestral pop covers or the inevitable longing glances across a ballroom, Benedict’s quest for his mystery woman is set to be the romantic event of the season.
Vladimir (5 Mar)
Prepare to fall down a rabbit hole of obsession in this eight-episode comedy drama. Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz stars as a disillusioned professor whose stale reality is jolted back to life by an all-consuming fixation on a charismatic younger colleague, played by Leo Woodall (The White Lotus). Set against the pressurised backdrop of academic politics and looming scandal involving her husband (John Slattery), the series stylishly flips the script on the female gaze. It’s a mischievous, dark, and undeniably chic exploration of what happens when the fantasies in our heads are far more intoxicating than reality.
ONE PIECE: Into the Grand Line Season 2 (10 Mar)
Luffy and his Straw Hat crew return for a second season of the live–action adaptation that defied all “anime-to-film” odds. This time, the stakes are higher as they navigate the Grand Line—a legendary stretch of sea filled with bizarre islands and unpredictable danger. It’s an epic, high-seas adventure that balances slapstick heart with genuinely thrilling action sequences. Even if you’ve never picked up a manga in your life, the sheer ambition and world-building of this series make it an essential watch for any pop-culture devotee.
3 Body Problem Season 2 (21 Mar)
For those who prefer their television with a side of existential dread and theoretical physics, the Benioff and Weiss sci-fi epic is back. After a first season that saw global scientists disappearing and a malevolent alien race announcing their arrival (albeit in 400 years), the second chapter promises to go even deeper into Liu Cixin’s award-winning and mind-bending universe. This is not “second screen” viewing; if you start scrolling through your FYP, you will miss a crucial law of gravity being broken. It’s dense, ambitious, and visually stunning, proving that “prestige sci-fi” can be just as addictive as a period drama. We’re still not entirely sure we understand the physics, but we’re 100% committed to the ride.
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen (26 Mar)
The title alone is enough to give us the shivers. Produced by the Duffer Brothers (the masterminds behind Stranger Things) and created by Haley Z. Boston, this atmospheric horror follows a bride and groom in the tension-filled week leading up to their doomed nuptials. Camila Morrone (best known for her performance in Daisy Jones & The Six) and Adam DiMarco (the loveable Albie from The White Lotus Season 2) star as the ill-fated couple in a “catastrophe-at-the-altar” drama. Dark, twisted, and undeniably stylish, it’s a genre-bending thrill that might just make you rethink your own wedding guest list.
BEEF Season 2 (16 April)
Lee Sung Jin’s award-winning anthology returns by trading the impulsive road rage of the first season for the icy, calculated “passive-aggression” of country club politics. Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan lead the narrative as a husband and wife whose domestic friction ignites a sophisticated spiral of coercion, drawing in a younger couple played by Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny. Set within an elite Southern California estate, the story follows these two pairs as they vie for the approval of the club’s formidable billionaire owner. It’s a biting exploration of generational divides and internalised workplace rage, crafted with a sharp, cynical edge that cuts through the luxury of its setting. Underneath the manicured lawns and golf carts, a new kind of madness is simmering—and we can’t wait to witness every minute of it.
Avatar The Last Airbender Season 2 (TBC)
Aang is back, and he’s grown up—literally. The live-action reimagining of the Nickelodeon classic returns for its second chapter, with the Northern Water Tribe saved and a new mission on the horizon: convincing the Earth King to join the fight against the Fire Nation. As Aang masters the four elements, the scale of the world expands,taking us from the icy poles into the sprawling, vibrant heart of the Earth Kingdom. It’s a story of balance, friendship, and the weight of destiny, all wrapped in top-tier visual effects. For those of us who grew up with the original, seeing the legendary Earth-bending sequences brought to life is a nostalgic thrill that manages to feel entirely modern.
Boyfriend on Demand (TBC)
Blackpink’s Jisoo returns to our screens in what might be the most “2026” premise ever. She plays Mi-rae, an overworked webtoon producer who seeks solace in a virtual reality dating subscription. Naturally, things get complicated when her real-life rival (played by Seo In-guk) enters the frame, blurring the lines between her digital fantasies and her office reality. It’s a tech-savvy take on the rom-com genre that delivers plenty of heart-fluttering moments. With Jisoo’s star power and a plot that blends daily office grind with futuristic escapism, this is guaranteed to be a global hit. It’s lighthearted, relatable and likely to make us all want to download a virtual partner by the end of episode one.
Pride and Prejudice (TBC)
Just when you thought you’d seen every possible iteration of Mr Darcy, Netflix is giving us a six-part limited series. Starring Emma Corrin as sharp-tongued Elizabeth Bennet and Jack Lowden as the ultimate brooding landlord, this adaptation promises to be faithful to Jane Austen’s masterpiece while being infused with Dolly Alderton’s signature wit. Expect all the hallmarks of the classic novel: the biting social commentary, the high-stakes ballrooms, and the iconic tension of the original enemies-to-lovers trope. It’s the literary equivalent of a warm hug—if that hug came with a Darcy-sized inheritance and a very dramatic misunderstanding.
The Boroughs (TBC)
With the world still reeling (out of satisfaction or disappointment) from the Stranger Things finale, executive producers the Duffer Brothers are wasting no time ushering us into their next supernatural mystery. Set in a seemingly picturesque retirement community in the New Mexico desert, The Boroughs serves as a more mature successor to the Hawkins phenomenon. The story follows an unlikely group of heroes, led by Alfred Molina and Geena Davis, who must stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they have left: time. Swapping teenage angst for the grit of the over-60 set, it’s a high-stakes adventure that captures that same addictive, genre-bending magic we’ve come to expect from the Duffers, proving that you’re never too old to save the world from an interdimensional crisis.
The Boys from Brazil (TBC)
Peter Morgan, the mastermind behind The Crown, is pivoting from royal palaces to the gritty world of 1970s Nazi hunters. Jeremy Strong brings his signature intensity to the role of Yakov Liebermann, a Holocaust survivor dedicated to tracking down fugitives. When he uncovers a diabolical plot involving a sadistic scientist (August Diehl) in Brazil, the series ignites into a high-stakes race against time. Joined by the likes of Daniel Brühl and Gillian Anderson, Strong leads a cast that anchors this heavy, atmospheric exploration of obsession and justice. It is the perfect choice for those who prefer their thrillers with a profound sense of historical weight and a chilling, cinematic edge.
XO, Kitty: Season 3 (TBC)
View this post on Instagram
The youngest Covey sister is still in Seoul, and her love life is still a delightful disaster. Anna Cathcart returns as Kitty, the self-proclaimed matchmaker who can’t quite figure out her own heart while navigating the glamorous shenanigans of an international high school. With a soundtrack packed with K-pop bangers and stunning Seoul backdrops, Season 3 is the ultimate treat for both K-drama devotees and rom-com enthusiasts alike. It’s a fun, drama-filled palate cleanser that promises more “will-they-won’t-they” tension and a perfect reminder of why we fell in love with the To All The Boys universe. You’ll want to catch up quickly because Kitty’s love triangle is about to get even messier.
East of Eden (TBC)
Florence Pugh as an “indelible antihero”? Sign us up immediately. This limited series adaptation of Nobel Prize-winning Steinbeck’s classic novel is being brought to life by Zoe Kazan, exploring the multigenerational saga of the Trask family. With Christopher Abbott and Martha Plimpton joining the cast, set against the sweeping backdrop of the Salinas Valley, this is “prestige TV” in its purest form—emotionally raw and visually lush.
The East Palace (TBC)
Historical fantasy meets supernatural thriller in this highly anticipated K-drama. Featuring a star-studded cast, the series pairs Nam Joo Hyuk as a ghost slayer with Roh Yoon Seo as a palace maid with her own secrets. Together, they must purge the royal grounds of restless spirits and ancient curses in a world where courtly power and hidden histories collide. Written by the masters of atmospheric tension (the creative team behind Bulgasal: Immortal Souls), this is a must-watch for those who love the blend of horror and political intrigue in Kingdom but crave a deeper sense of mysticism.
