Trust Me: The False Prophet is a four-part documentary that tracks the rise of Samuel Bateman, a self-proclaimed leader within a breakaway Mormon sect, through the eyes of a couple who embed themselves inside his community. Cult expert Christine Marie and videographer Tolga Katas move to Short Creek, Utah, hoping to support a vulnerable group – but quickly realise something more troubling is unfolding. As Bateman’s control tightens, particularly over the group's women, the pair begin documenting what they see, gathering first-hand accounts and footage from within the group.

Release date: 9th April

Loved Schitt's Creek? Co-creator and star Dan Levy returns with Big Mistakes, a darkly comic crime series that swaps small-town antics for something far more dangerous. He plays Nicky, one half of a pair of deeply incapable siblings who attempt a minor theft for their dying grandmother – only for it to spiral into organised crime. Alongside his sister Morgan, he’s quickly dragged into a world they’re completely unequipped to navigate, and as the stakes rise, so does the chaos. I Love LA and Bottoms’ Rachel Sennott is co-producing, so prepare for some serious lols. 

Release date: 12th April

At Home with the Furys returns for a second series, following heavyweight champion Tyson Fury as he attempts to stick to retirement and settle into life beyond the ring in Morecambe Bay. With wife Paris Fury, their seven children and his ever-opinionated father John Fury always close by, Tyson quickly discovers that slowing down doesn’t come naturally to him. From family trips to Monaco to new business ventures, he channels his competitive energy into anything that keeps him busy. Meanwhile, Paris has plenty to keep her busy, balancing family life with new projects, while organising two major milestones: a lavish sixteenth birthday and a vow renewal for her and Tyson that promises plenty of drama.

Release date: 16th April

Prepare for a brand-new feud, this time swapping road rage for something arguably even more toxic. This time, a Gen Z couple, Ashley and Austin, find themselves drawn into the unraveling marriage of their millennial boss and his wife after a single incident at the country club where they work. What follows is a slow escalation of tension, with small slights, power plays and quiet manipulations rippling outward. With a fresh cast led by Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan, the second chapter leans into workplace dynamics and the quieter, simmering kind of resentment that’s harder to spot – but every bit as dramatic.

Release date: 17th April

A decades-ago encounter between David Attenborough and a baby gorilla named Pablo forms the starting point for this intimate documentary, which returns to the mountains of Rwanda to see how his descendants are living today. Blending archive footage with new material, the film draws on Attenborough’s original 1978 journals to trace the group’s story across generations. Along the way, it captures rarely seen moments of gorilla behaviour, offering a closer look at their lives than ever before.

Release date: 23rd April

Back for a second series, Running Point picks up with Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson), now firmly in charge of the Los Angeles Waves – but under far more scrutiny than before. With the team recovering from last season’s scandal, she’s determined to prove she’s more than a temporary stand-in. The problem? Her brother Cam is quietly working behind the scenes to take back control, turning every slip-up into leverage. As Isla juggles the pressure of running a major franchise with the realities of her personal life, the stakes only get higher, both on and off the court.

Release date: 29th April

Their whirlwind romance leads to an engagement – and a future that suddenly feels certain. But her fiancé is hiding something horrific, and when he finally confides in her about a brutal killing and a body that was never found, Caroline is forced into an unthinkable position.
