## MONDAY 



  

#### The Franchise, Sky &amp; NOW TV

Armando Iannucci (*Alan Partridge*, *The Thick Of It*) has produced, Sam Mendes (*1917*) has directed and Jon Brown (*Succession*) has written this ten-part satirical comedy. The show takes aim at the superhero franchise movie treadmill and the dysfunctional teams behind them. Plus, the British and American cast bring their nations’ respective senses of humour – look out for Himesh Patel (*The* *Big Bang Theory*), Aya Cash (*The Boys*), Jessica Hynes (*Spaced*), Billy Magnussen (*Road House*) and Lolly Adefope (*Ghosts*), with Richard E. Grant (*Saltburn*) and Daniel Brühl (*Inglourious Basterds*) as regular guest stars.

## THURSDAY 



  

#### Pride Of Britain Awards 2024, ITV

Now in its 25th year, The Pride of Britain Awards is back to celebrate and honour the everyday heroes across the country. Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo will host, while stars from the worlds of showbiz, sport and politics – and some royals – will be in attendance.

#### **Doctor Odyssey, Disney +**

Fresh off the controversy surrounding his Netflix series *Monsters*, Ryan Murphy returns with this new series, which trades true crime melodrama for a medical procedural set on a luxury cruise liner filled with accident-prone passengers. Fortunately, the suave Dr. Max (Joshua Jackson) is ready to save the day – when he’s not caught up in a steamy affair with one of his colleagues, of course.

 The Room Next Door 

 



 

 

 

 

## FRIDAY 



  

#### Before, Apple TV

*Before* is a new psychological thriller starring Billy Crystal. Departing from his usual comedic roles, Crystal plays Eli, a child psychiatrist who, after losing his wife, encounters a troubled young boy, Noah (Jacobi Jupe). As he attempts to help him, Eli learns that Noah has a haunting connection with his past. Eric Roth is the executive producer, known for his writing on *Forest Gump, Dune: Part One, A Star Is Born* and *Killers Of The Flower Moon*.

#### The Room Next Door

Adapted from Sigrid Nunez’s cult-favourite novel *What Are You Going Through?, The Room Next Door* is acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar’s first English-language film – and it has a powerhouse cast. Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) used to be joined at the hip in their youth, working together at *New York* magazine. However, their paths diverged: Ingrid pursued a career as a novelist, while Martha became a war reporter. After years out of touch, the two reunite under bittersweet circumstances: Martha is dying, and she wants Ingrid to help her go. Touching and nuanced, it’s the kind of close-quarters cinema that reminds audiences to hold the ones they love close.
