But Joan Hickson's terrific run as Marple ended in 1992. As a lifelong admirer of Christie's works, it gives me no pleasure to report that the latest attempt to adapt the Queen of Crime's work is a dismal failure: There's no regard for Christie's prose, no idea who the series' audience is meant to be, and no goal except to further increase Netflix's intellectual property resources.

The video podcast will release episodes weekly, beginning January 30 at 12:01 a.m. PT. Each episode will feature a "candid, no-holds-barred" conversation between Davidson and a pal that takes place in his garage, per Netflix. "Netflix was the home of one of my first stand-up specials," Davidson said in a statement, "so it felt right to bring the podcast there, too. It's me and my friends talking about anything and everything. It's going to be a great time."

The world hasn't gotten any less dystopian, and so it makes sense that Netflix has greenlit Black Mirror for Season 8. No release date or episode count has been confirmed for the dark anthology series, which has been a Netflix staple since its third season, but creator Charlie Brooker says that "That chunk of my brain has already been activated and is whirring away."

The hit TV series, which started in 2016, returns for its final outing at the end of the month. It will see Tan France, Jonathan Van Ness, Jeremiah Brent, Karamo Brown, and Antoni Porowski head to the US capital, Washington, DC, for their last outing as The Fab Five. On Monday (5 January) Netflix released a poignant teaser which took a look back at previous seasons, heroes, and makeovers.

The concert film and documentary, directed by Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frías, follows Depeche Mode as they bring their vast catalogue to Mexico City's Foro Sol for three nights in September 2023. It examines the country's cultural relationship with death and how those themes appear throughout Depeche Mode's discography; the tour it depicts served as Depeche Mode's first outing following the passing of founding member Andy Fletcher, and the film includes interstitial footage of the city and its traditions around music and mortality.

Despite now being fully owned and controlled by Amazon MGM Studios, James Bond movies have been irregularly available on Prime Video or other streaming services in recent months. Starting January 15th, though, 26 of the iconic British spy's cinematic adventures will begin streaming on Netflix, from the Sean Connery-starring Dr. No to the final Daniel Craig film, No Time to Die.

The Boyfriend is structured around queer men living and working together for two months. Throughout their time, they navigate love and friendship, which flits between sweet and intense. In the first season, the men lived in a beachside house. However, for season 2, Netflix is swapping the beach for the snow. The second season sees the men live in the winter landscape of Lake Akan in Hokkaido. This time, their group will work at a peppermint-coloured coffee truck.

Streaming platforms reigned supreme, with Netflix and Apple TV dominating our list with seven and five selections each. Genre-wise, we've got a bit of everything: period dramas ( The Gilded Age, Outrageous), superheroes ( Daredevil: Born Again), mysteries ( Ludwig, Poker Face, Dept. Q), political thrillers ( The Diplomats, Slow Horses), science fiction ( Andor, Severance, Alien: Earth), broody fantasy ( The Sandman), and even an unconventional nature documentary ( Underdogs).

Having starred in previous gay holiday romcoms for Lifetime and Hallmark, husbands Taylor Frey and Kyle Dean Massey return with T he Holiday Exchange, which captures their version of the festive experience. The film charts Wilde (Frey) shaking up the holidays by swapping houses with Oliver (Rick Cosnett) which in turn leads them to meeting locals who turn their lives around.

The Paley Center for Media today announced the dates and first programs for PaleyFest LA 2026.

State of play: WBD' s board has 10 days to respond to a hostile takeover bid from Paramount, launched Monday after WBD announced a deal to sell its studio and streaming businesses to Netflix for $83 billion. While the board has said it believes Netflix's offer was superior to Paramount's for financial reasons, it will need to weigh whether choosing to reject Paramount's tender offer could invite shareholder lawsuits.

And, really, who deserves one of these more than Simon Cowell? Because here is a man who, as the face of The X Factor and Pop Idol, spent the first part of the 21st century at the top of the entertainment tree. He could make and break careers with a flick of his wrist. Discounting sport, royalty, Covid and (weirdly) Gavin & Stacey, the 2010 X Factor finale remains the most watched British TV show of the last 15 years.
