Fingernails drops on Friday, November 3.

The Buccaneers

Inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name, this new period drama boasts an ensemble cast including The Society’s Kristine Frøseth, 13 Reasons Why’s Alisha Boe and SAG Award-winning Mad Men star Christina Hendricks. In The Buccaneers, a group of beautiful and untameable young American girls – the daughters of America’s new rich – explode into the tightly corseted London season of the 1870s.

This kicks off an Anglo-American culture clash as the land of the stiff upper lip is infiltrated by a refreshing disregard for centuries of tradition. Sent to snare themselves an aristocrat, the buccaneers’ hearts are set on much more than that, and saying “I do” is just the beginning.

The Buccaneers premieres with a three-episode drop on Wednesday, November 8, with new episodes airing weekly.

For All Mankind – Season four

This thrilling sci-fi-drama imagines a world where the global space race never ended, shining a spotlight on the high-stakes lives of NASA astronauts and their families. Rocketing into the new millennium in the eight years since season three, Happy Valley has rapidly expanded its footprint on Mars by turning former foes into partners.

Now in 2003, the focus of the space program has turned to the capture and mining of extremely valuable, mineral-rich asteroids that could change the future of both Earth and Mars. But simmering tensions between the residents of the now-sprawling international base threaten to undo everything they are working towards.

For All Mankind season four drops on Friday, November 10. Seasons one to three are available to stream on Apple TV+ now.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters picks up after 2014's Godzilla (Apple TV+)

This 10-part series from Legendary Pictures forms the latest chapter in the so-called MonsterVerse, picking up in the wake of 2014’s epic action film, Godzilla. Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans – and the shocking revelation that monsters are real – Monarch: Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organisation known as Monarch.

Clues lead them into the world of monsters and down a rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (Kurt and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. This dramatic multi-generational saga reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.

Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas drops on Wednesday, November 22.

Slow Horses – Season three

Oscar winner Gary Oldman returns for the third season of this darkly comedic espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents serving in a dumping-ground department of MI5. In the upcoming season, a romantic liaison in Istanbul threatens to expose a buried MI5 secret in London.

When Jackson Lamb (Oldman) and his team of misfits are dragged into the fight, they find themselves caught in a conspiracy that threatens the future not just of Slough House but of MI5 itself.

Slow Horses premieres with a two-episode drop on Wednesday, November 29. Seasons one and two are available to stream now.
