CITADEL 

AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM FRIDAY 28 APRIL 

Eight years ago, Citadel fell. The independent global spy agency—tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people—was destroyed by operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows. With Citadel’s fall, elite agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives. They’ve remained hidden ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts. Until one night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason seeks out his former partner, Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that takes them around the world in an effort to stop Manticore, all while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love. 

Citadel stars Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville, Ashleigh Cummings, Roland Møller, Osy Ikhile, Nikki Amuka-Bird and Caoilinn Springall.

Lizzy looks back on father-daughter trips to Malaysia: one when she was 4 years old and a returning trip in her thirties, skydiving to her mum’s 60th, one of her brother’s backyard trout-farming dreams, and her other brother’s quest to become a famous YouTube travel vlogger. After trading in full-time office work, Lizzy is now performing in front of full houses across Australia and gaining millions of views of her stand up online. Lizzy’s engaging presence and top notch storytelling on stage leaves audiences wanting more.

JUDY BLUME FOREVER

AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM FRIDAY 21 APRIL

Generations of readers have found themselves in a Judy Blume book. Her name alone launches a flood of memories for anyone who’s gripped one of her many paperbacks. For decades, Blume’s radical honesty has comforted and captivated readers – and landed her at the centre of controversy for her frankness about puberty and sex. Now the beloved American author candidly shares her own coming-of-age story. Emmy-winning filmmakers Davina Pardo and Leah Wolchok trace Blume’s journey from fearful, imaginative child to storytelling pioneer who elevated the physical and emotional lives of kids and teens, to banned writer who continues to fight back against censorship today. With humour, sensitivity, and a healthy dose of adolescent cringe, Judy Blume Forever tells the story of the woman whose trail-blazing books changed the way millions of readers understand themselves, their sexuality, and what it means to grow up. 

Judy Blume Forever features interviews with Judy Blume, Molly Ringwald, Lena Dunham, Anna Konkle, Tayari Jones and more.

WILD ISLES

SEASON ONE AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM 21 APRIL

Britain and Ireland have some of the most diverse wildlife and beautiful landscapes on Earth. In this major new landmark series, Sir David Attenborough will celebrate the wonders of these islands, revealing the surprising and dramatic habitats that exist. Filmed over the course of three years, this new five-part series will investigate how the woodland, grassland, freshwater and ocean habitats support wildlife of all kinds. Using the very latest technology, each episode will capture dramatic and new behaviour across the British Isles, from battling butterflies to mighty killer whales on the hunt. Nature in these islands will prove just as spectacular as anywhere else on the planet, but it is increasingly fragile. With intricately connected species relying on habitats, and one another, for survival, we ask what can be done to protect them and the delicate ecosystems that remain, and to make these wild isles even wilder for future generations.

Wild Isles stars Sir David Attenborough.
