The detective drama Bergerac is returning for a new season after receiving perfect reviews, promising exciting new developments for fans of the genre.

Damien Molony is returning as detective Jim Bergerac in a new case that’s been described as his toughest yet. A groom is murdered at his own wedding, and investigators are hoping his final words will reveal who killed him.

What to Read Next

Bergerac season 2 is available to watch on Thursday 16 April on U and U&Drama.

Big Mood, season 2

Fans on IMDb called the first episode of Channel 4’s popular series “an outstanding show everyone should see” and praised its clever and thoughtful approach.

If you thought Maggie’s life (as portrayed by Nicola Coughlan) was already incredibly chaotic in the first season, prepare for more drama! Season two promises to be just as unpredictable and exciting.

A year after a painful falling out, childhood friends Maggie and Eddie (played by Lydia West) are speaking again. But neither is willing to admit what really went wrong, leading to arguments, hurt feelings, and even some dramatic mishaps – as shown in the preview.

Big Mood season 2 is available to watch on Thursday 16 April at 10pm on Channel 4.

Beef, season 2

Though the second season of Beef features many new cast members, the intense conflict between the main characters will remain central to the story.

Okay, so I just heard about this new movie and it sounds wild! It’s about this Gen Z couple, Ashley and Austin, who are engaged, and they accidentally see their millennial boss, Joshua, getting into a really intense fight with his wife, Lindsay. Apparently, it’s a total mess and sets everything off! I’m already hooked just hearing that setup.

Trouble begins when Ashley and Austin, who are less privileged, start competing for the attention of Chairwoman Park, the wealthy owner of an exclusive club. Chairwoman Park (played by Youn Yuh-jung) is secretly dealing with a scandal involving her husband, Doctor Kim (Song Kang-ho), and the competition quickly escalates.

Beef season 2 is available to watch from Thursday 16 April on Netflix.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles

Apple TV describes Margo’s Got Money Troubles as a funny, touching, and dramatic story about a family. The show follows Margo, played by Elle Fanning, as she tries to become a writer.

A young woman, the daughter of a retired wrestler and a former waitress, finds herself unexpectedly navigating single motherhood after leaving college. Facing a lot of debt and limited options, she must figure out how to build a life for herself and her child.

I’m so excited about this eight-part series! And the cast is amazing – Marcia Gay Harden, Rico Nasty, Greg Kinnear, Lindsey Normington, and Michael Angarano are all going to be in it. Seriously, a fantastic lineup!

Margo’s got Money Troubles is available to watch from Wednesday 15 April on Apple TV.

Missed Call

Channel 5’s thriller, Missed Call, centers around Sarah (Joanna Scanlan), a single mother whose life is shattered when her teenage daughter, Katie, disappears while on a school trip to France.

The situation becomes even more worrying when Sarah doesn’t answer a late-night call from Katie. With the host family and police unwilling to help, Sarah is left to search for her daughter on her own.

Her actions put her face to face with danger, as she races against time to find her daughter.

Missed Call is available to watch from Monday 13 April at 9pm on Channel 5.
