Mountainhead, 9pm, Sky Atlantic
From Jesse Armstrong, the creator of Succession, comes a new satirical examination of the superrich. Mountainhead is a film, rather than a series, and stars Steve Carell, Cory Michael Smith, Ramy Youssef and Jason Schwatrzman as a group of billionaire friends who get together against the backdrop of a rolling international crisis.

FRIDAY
Dangerous Animals
This tense survival horror from Australian director Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones) is a sun-drenched nightmare set off the Gold Coast. Hassie Harrison (Yellowstone) stars as Zephyr, a free-spirited surfer who becomes the captive of Tucker (Jai Courtney, The Suicide Squad), a shark-obsessed serial killer who believes the ocean demands human sacrifices. With real shark footage and minimal CGI, the film channels the suspense of Jaws while delivering one of horror’s most chilling new villains. Premiered at Cannes, Dangerous Animals is a lean, stylish thriller that’s more about tension than gore, thankfully.

Ballerina
Fans of John Wick, take note: this female-led spin-off is every bit as stylish – and savage – as the original. Ana de Armas (No Time to Die) stars as a ballerina-turned-assassin out for revenge after her family is murdered. Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, it features appearances from Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane and the late Lance Reddick (The Wire) in one of his final roles. Come for the balletic fight scenes, stay for the world-building and high-gloss action.
