This one is going to be a big one. Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper, Keeley Hawes and Rufus Sewell star in Netflix’s movie take on Prince Andrew’s disastrous BBC Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis. Remember when he got caught out for most likely not being in Pizza Express in Woking? Yeah, that interview.
Expect stellar performances, some serious power moves and a star-studded perspective on one of the most shocking moments in recent modern, royal history.
Release date: 5 April

Andrew Scott has done it again. After breaking our hearts in Fleabag and All Of Us Strangers, he’s bagged another huge role that is sure to get under our skins. He’s reprised the role of con artist Tom Ripley, made famous by the 1999 film starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law. This iteration will be fronted by Scott, Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn. We can't wait.
Release date: 4 April
Zac Popik/LionsgateMiller’s Girl
This one looks like a tricky one. Starring Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman, Miller's Girl tells the story of a young student bond with her teacher over a creative writing assignment – but things soon spiral out of control as their connection becomes more intense. If the trailer is anything to go by, we are hoping this story will be handled well in terms of portrayals of abuse of power, but either way we're intrigued about Ortega's latest venture and how it will be received.
Release date: 25 April
Johan Platt /NetflixHeartbreak High season two
Thirsty for some high school drama? This Aussie teen treat of a reboot (the original aired in the '90s) will definitely deliver if so, and it's back for a second instalment. Our cast are still on a journey when it comes to relationships, friendships, sexuality – all that delightful, heart-rending coming-of-age-stuff.
Release date: 11 April

Based on the true story of comedian Richard Gadd and his warped relationship with his female stalker is certainly set to start more than a few conversations around the subject, as well as the trauma surrounding such stories and the question of male complicity in female stalking. Definitely one to tune into. Jessica Gunning, Nava Mau and Tom Goodman-Hill star alongside Gadd in what has been described as a “compelling, darkly funny true story”.
Release date: 11 April

This French reality TV series looks like an absolute banger. It follows thirteen players as they compete for a spot in a luxury villa and a shot at 150,000 euros in a “unpredictable game of strategy and survival”. It's perfect escapism TV.
Release date: 17 April
