Andrew Lincoln (aka Mr Walking Dead) comes back to the world of UK television for this twisty ITV<\/a> thriller. He plays John, a middle-aged man with an unhealthy case of masculine rage who moves to a remote Scottish village to launch a new restaurant. Unfortunately for him, he soon falls under the spell of Tommy (Ewan Bremner), a local pillar of the community who is hiding some pretty dark secrets. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Those of us missing our fix of The Boys,<\/a> the solution is here. Despite being a spinoff of the hit show, Gen V\u2019s first season was just as delightfully twisted as its older sibling, serving up a blood-spattered tale set in the supe university of Godolkin. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love a bit of Sly Stallone? Well, he\u2019s back once more <\/a>as the sublimely silly Dwight Manfredi, a member of the Mafia who sets up a branch in Tulsa. Season two ended on a hell of a cliffhanger (aka him being kidnapped from his bed by masked assailants), but it looks like Dwight is just fine \u2013 and even better, he\u2019s being joined for this latest chapter by none other than Samuel L. Jackson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The magnificently crusty Gary Oldman<\/a> returns to our screens as Jackson Lamb<\/a>, the ever-eating, ever-farting head of MI5\u2019s refuse division Slough House. Tune in for some reliably excellent television (the series has never struck a dud note), as well as a London-centric storyline featuring a plot to assassinate the Mayor (Nick Mohammed).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Steven Knight turns his quill to all things Ireland in what promises to be a very buzzy title indeed. Squarely in his sights are the Guinness family: a group of four siblings who, when their patriarch father dies, have to try and maintain his legacy despite the rather ungodly amount of secrets they\u2019re keeping. Oh, and James Norton<\/a> plays the family enforcer, Rafferty. Really, what\u2019s not to like here?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Show me a more bonkers premise: I\u2019ll wait. Hollywood\u2019s favourite actor Glen Powell (who also co-wrote this) stars as Russ Holliday, an American football quarterback. Eight years ago, he nuked his college football career; seemingly with nothing better to do, he decides to try and resurrect it. This time, he\u2019s disguising himself as oddball Chad Powers to do it. If you couldn\u2019t tell, it\u2019s a comedy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s been teased, and teased\u2026 but finally, it looks like we\u2019re getting a glorious dose of Celebrity Traitors this October<\/a>. The cast list is extensive (think Stephen Fry, Clare Baldwin, Paloma Faith), Claudia\u2019s fringe is immaculate and the castle is no doubt bursting with challenges and secrets. Who\u2019ll be the first Traitor to turn on their friends, and who will snap during the roundtable? It\u2019s all the more delicious when it\u2019s got celebs in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Adjani Salmon\u2019s award-winning vision<\/a> returns to the BBC once more. The first season of Dreaming Whilst Black (which originally started life as a YouTube series) cast him as Kwabena, an aspiring filmmaker attempting to make his dream into a reality. It was funny and sharp, and deservedly netted Salmon a lot of awards: now, Kwabena is back, and he\u2019s managed to land a job working as a director for a steamy historical romance series called Sin and Subterfuge. But is it a blessing, or a poisoned chalice? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Harlan Coben is on a roll at the moment. Fresh from having a batch of his work adapted for Netflix, he\u2019s now jumped ship to Prime Video for another of his thrillers – though this is a Coben original, rather than an adaptation of an existing book. Star talent abounds: Sam Claflin stars as Joel Lazarus (ominous name), who returns home after his father (Bill Nighy) takes his own life. The reason why? Maybe it\u2019s something to do with the disturbing experiences he starts having. To get to the bottom of things, he needs to untangle a web of cold case murders, including that of his sister\u2019s death, 25 years ago. Spooky, and just in time for Hallowe\u2019en.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sally Wainwright can do no wrong \u2013 which is why we\u2019ll be tuning into watch her latest show, Riot Women. And the premise sounds especially good: five menopausal women decide to start a punk talent to take part in a local talent contest. As they navigate their lives and their budding rock careers, inevitably dark secrets also start bubbling to the surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is going to be explosive. 15 years ago, The News of the World was forced to close after it was revealed that the platform had hacked the phones of some of the biggest celebrities in the country. Ironically, it made headlines around the world, and led to former editor Andy Coulson being sentenced to 18 months in prison (the title works on several levels, you see). Now, the whole sorry affair has been adapted into a drama starring David Tennant and the ever-excellent Toby Jones, and it should be dropping sometime this autumn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Matt Smith is cultivating a nice line in feckless layabouts. Fresh from Caught Stealing, in which he plays a punk drug dealer, he\u2019s now starring in The Death of Bunny Munro, where he plays a misogynistic, sex-addicted, middle-aged salesman. After the suicide of his wife, he decides to take his son on an increasingly chaotic trip around Brighton… at about the same time a serial killer is operating in the area.

Kim Kardashian? In a legal drama? Sign us right up. She plays the Allura Grant (on the nose much), a divorce lawyer who leaves her male-dominated law firm to set up a female one with some of her pals. The premise is promising us \u201chigh-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting allegiances\u201d \u2013 who knows what that means, but the cast is stacked (Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close, hello), and if not prestige TV, it certainly promises to be fabulously camp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
