"Game of Thrones" sister series takes place 100 years before its predecessor. Even more dragons than before are promised in the second season, which is now starting. After King Viserys' death at the end of the first season, the battle for dominance is on between "The Blacks", who back Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy), and "The Greens" who support her half-brother Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney). A violent showdown seems inevitable.

British thriller series that largely takes place on a plane. British doctor Matthew (Richard Armitage) is extradited to China, where he is suspected of murder. On board the plane to Beijing, another passenger gets the meal intended for the doctor – and dies. So who is trying to kill him and why? And can he convince police officer Hana Li (Jing Lusi), who is watching him on the journey, that he is innocent?

Horror film with an unusual theme. The year is 1977 and Johnny Carson dominates the TV world. To attract viewers to his show and catch up with the icon, programme leader Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) takes an unusual step – a live broadcast on All Saints' Eve with the occult as the theme. But things quickly get out of hand when various forms of dark forces make themselves known and take possession of some of the programme's guests.

" (20/6, Prime Video).

Asif Kapadia has previously made acclaimed documentaries about Amy Winehouse, Ayrton Senna, and Diego Maradona. Here, he follows tennis star Roger Federer's final days as a player in connection with the Laver Cup 2022, surrounded by rivals Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray. It becomes an emotional time with a player who doesn't quite want to let go and mourns the end of his career.
