After the tragedy, we follow Prince William (Ed McVey) as he tries to integrate back into life at Eton in the wake of his mother’s death – all while the monarchy rides the wave of public opinion. Meanwhile, as she reaches her Golden Jubilee, the Queen (Imelda Staunton) reflects on the future of the monarchy with the marriage of Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla (Olivia Williams) and the beginning of a new Royal fairy-tale in the form of William and Kate’s (Meg Ballamy) burgeoning relationship.

Stranger Things 

Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things has become one of the biggest pieces of pop culture in streaming history since its 2016 debut.

The show has singlehandedly sparked a resurgence of interest in pop culture touchpoints from years past, including everything from Eggo waffles to New Coke. The series also breathed new life into Kate Bush’s 1985 hit Running Up That Hill, with fans streaming the song into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time. And Stranger Things fans everywhere celebrate November 6 — the day Will Byers went missing — as ‘Stranger Things Day’, during which they share their love for the show.

Boy Swallows Universe 

Trent Dalton’s international best-seller gets the well-deserved mini-series treatment when Boy Swallows Universe hits streaming screens to explore the crossroads where a boy becomes a man, good toys with evil and the everyday meets the extraordinary. 

An epic coming-of-age tale set in 1980s Brisbane, this beloved story blends the magic and innocence of youth with the brutal reality of becoming an adult. Eli Bell’s world is full of complex characters, from his lost father, mute brother and recovering addict mum to his heroin dealer stepfather and notorious criminal babysitter.

Rebel Moon 

The first movie in director Zack Snyder’s two-part space saga introduces us to Kora (Sofia Boutella), a stranger with a mysterious past who begins a new life among a quiet settlement of farmers after crash landing on the moon Veldt. 

Her new home soon becomes anything but peaceful when the Motherworld’s tyrannical Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee) and his cruel emissary, Admiral Noble (Ed Skrein), discover the farmers have unwittingly sold crops to the Bloodaxes (Cleopatra Coleman and Ray Fisher) – leaders of a fierce group of insurgents hunted by the Motherworld. 

Now Veldt’s only hope for survival, Kora sets out with tender hearted farmer Gunnar (Michiel Huisman) to build a group of brave defenders and search for the Bloodaxes. On an epic journey to different worlds, they assemble a band of warriors who share a common need for redemption along the way: Kai (Charlie Hunnam), a pilot and gun for hire; General Titus (Djimon Hounsou), a legendary commander; Nemesis (Doona Bae), a master swordswoman; Tarak (Staz Nair), a captive with a regal past; and Milius (E. Duffy), a resistance fighter. Meanwhile on Veldt, an ancient, mechanised protector (voiced by Anthony Hopkins) hiding in the wings awakens with a new purpose.

Will the newly formed band of revolutionaries learn to trust each other and fight as one before the armies of the Motherworld come to destroy them all?
