Colin Firth will be back on our screens in Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, a moving drama about the worst terrorist attack in UK history. There are plenty of other shows rooted in real-life stories, too, with Jack Thorne exploring the Corby poisonings in Toxic Town and James Graham delving into a famous showdown between Margaret Thatcher and interviewer Brian Walden in Brian and Margaret.

A clutch of streaming heavy hitters are returning for new seasons: it’s very nearly time to check back into The White Lotus (which will be set at a luxury resort in Thailand this time around) and buckle up for another batch of existential dread-inducing Black Mirror episodes. And the much-anticipated (and much-delayed…) Stranger Things finale isn’t too far off, either.

If you prefer slightly lighter fare, look out for the much-anticipated comedy from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee and a brand new millennial romcom from Lena Dunham. Oh, and if you’re in the market for a bonkers-sounding reality concept, Bear Grylls is chasing down famous faces in the jungle in a Netflix competition series.
