What to Read Next

Here’s our list of 6 of the best.

Juice

The popular BBC comedy series starring Mawaan Rizwan returns later this week with more episodes. It follows Jamma, a character known for always wanting to be the center of attention.

Russell Tovey returns as Guy, Jamma’s ex-boyfriend, and the latest episodes show Jamma facing a tough time – he’s out of work, staying with friends, and recently single.

But then he meets a strange person who promises to help him change his goofy behavior so he can win Guy over. Jamma has to consider whether taking the chance is worth what he might gain.

Juice returns on 18 September on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer at 9pm.

Strictly Come Dancing

Get ready for the glitz and glamour! The new season of *Strictly Come Dancing* kicks off this week with a special episode where the celebrity contestants find out who they’ll be dancing with.

This year’s competition features a diverse cast hoping to win the Glitterball Trophy, including Balvinder Sopal from *EastEnders*, reality TV personalities Dani Dyer and Vicky Pattison, and drag queen La Voix from *RuPaul’s Drag Race UK*, as well as many other talented contestants.

This year brings a major change: viewers will now vote online instead of by phone. Head judge Shirley Ballas has also hinted at a few other small adjustments coming soon.

Strictly Come Dancing returns on 20 September on BBC One.

MAFS UK

A fresh group of singles hoping to find romance are starting their journey as the new season of *Married at First Sight UK* begins this week.

If you’re new to the show, *Married at First Sight* (*MAFS*) takes complete strangers and pairs them up – they don’t even meet until they’re at the wedding! The couples then live together for a while and decide if they want to stay married.

Okay, so the experts – Paul, Melanie, and Charlene – are back to help us follow all the couples on *Married at First Sight*. But let’s be real, it’s *MAFS*, so there’s definitely going to be a ton of drama! If you want to get to know everyone before the season starts next Sunday, they’ve already released a list of all the people who are participating this year.

Married at First Sight UK returns on 21 September on E4.

The Morning Show

The popular Apple TV+ series starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, which follows the drama behind the scenes of a morning news show, is back for its fourth season this week.

Set in spring 2024 after the UBA-NBN merger, the show follows the newsroom as they navigate a changing media landscape and a deeply divided America. They struggle with questions of trust and truth, especially with the rise of deepfakes, conspiracy theories, and hidden agendas.

Season 4 will feature new cast members including Academy Award winners Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons, alongside Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, and Boyd Holbrook.

The Morning Show returns on 17 September on Apple TV+.

Gen V

I’m super hyped to hear that *Gen V*, the *Boys* spin-off on Prime Video, is coming back for another season! It’s all about these young superheroes at Godolkin University, basically a school for crimefighting, and they’re all competing to get a spot on The Seven. It’s a wild ride!

Season 2 begins after the conclusion of *The Boys* season 4. The United States is now dealing with the aftermath of Homelander’s rule, and the new head of Godolkin University is promising to train students to reach unprecedented levels of power.

Cate and Sam continue their heroic work, but Marie, Jordan, and Emma are trying to readjust to normal life after experiencing a lot of hardship. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between humans and those with superpowers, and the team uncovers a hidden program from the 1960s that might hold the key to what’s happening now – a program that seems to involve Marie.

Gen V returns on 17 September on Prime Video.

Black Rabbit

The new Netflix miniseries features Jude Law and Jason Bateman as brothers with a close relationship that’s put to the test.

Black Rabbit centers around Jake Friedkin, the owner of a new restaurant and lounge in New York City that’s quickly gaining popularity and becoming a must-visit destination.

But when Vince Bateman returns, problems begin. He carries old wounds and new threats that could destroy everything the family has worked for. It’s going to be a fast-paced and exciting story.

Black Rabbit premiers on 18 September on Netflix.

The new edition of Living Legends is here! Buy Gaga in newsagents or online, priced at just £8.99.
