UK Television Highlights
This week sees the triumphant continuation of Wednesday: Season 2 on Netflix, gripping new political drama in Hostage, and favoured UK series like Annika and Ridley in rotation. Cinema continues to be dominated by blockbuster staples.
This week’s broadcasting slate is rich with nostalgia, suspense, and sweeping dramas.
- Wednesday: Season 2 – Part 1 was released last week, and it is billed as Season 2 – Part 1, because it is being split into two parts, released a month apart, so you can get the first half now on Netflix, marking the much-anticipated return of the gothic, sardonic teen at Nevermore Academy. Viewers can expect an increase in supernatural intrigue, sharp comedy, and a growing roster of enticing new characters.
- Over on BBC One, a wave of returning favourites continues. Annika: Season 2 delivers more sharp investigative storytelling, while Ridley, starring Adrian Dunbar, offers a compelling procedural thriller in its latest episodes.
- BBC One also introduces Hostage, a political thriller featuring a high-stakes kidnapping of a Prime Minister’s spouse and tangled diplomacy — a tense and timely watch.
- Meanwhile, Netflix offers an array of new arrivals across genres: from romantic daydreams in My Oxford Year to teen drama continuation with My Life with the Walter Boys: Season 2, and returning reality tension in Perfect Match: Season 3. It’s a packed week for streaming.
Streaming Highlight
The standout moment this week is, without question, the return of Wednesday. Her journey continues to captivate with equal parts mystery, moody humour, and macabre charm—a rare combination that remains uniquely compelling.
Pick of the Week
Wednesday: Season 2 – Part 1 on Netflix takes this week’s top spot. Its return continues to offer the darkly humorous and atmospheric storytelling that made the first season a phenomenon. If you’ve been waiting for an even deeper dive into the macabre halls of Nevermore, this one simply cannot be missed.
