Jesse Armstrong was the brain behind the acclaimed ”Succession”. In his new film, he directs his sharp pen at the megalomaniac tech entrepreneurs gather to hang out for the weekend in a remote luxury cottage, while the world is in chaos – due to one of the entrepreneurs' new AI tools. But they are more interested in internal power struggles that take on increasingly worse forms. Steve Carell and Jason Schwartzman play two of the main roles.

Ana de Armas plays the lead role in this spin-off of the John Wick films. She is Eve, a ballet-trained torpedo out to avenge her father's murder. Since the story takes place between the third and fourth Wick films, John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves, can also make an appearance.

Jussi Adler-Olsen's crime series has become a Netflix series, but the plot has been moved from Copenhagen to Edinburgh. Matthew Goode plays the grumpy Commissioner Morck, who reluctantly takes the help of new colleague Akram (Swedish Alexej Manvelov) to solve a "cold case".
