Shadow and Bone – Season two

Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) is on the run. A beacon of hope to some and a suspected traitor to others, she’s determined to bring down the Shadow Fold and save Ravka from ruin. But General Kirigan (Ben Barnes) has returned to finish what he started.

Backed by a terrifying new army of seemingly indestructible shadow monsters and fearsome new Grisha recruits, Kirigan is more dangerous than ever. To stand a fighting chance against him, Alina and Mal (Archie Renaux) rally their own powerful new allies and begin a continent-spanning journey to find two mythical creatures that will amplify her powers.

Back in Ketterdam, the Crows must forge new alliances as they contend with old rivals and even older grudges that threaten not only their place in the Barrel, but their very lives. When a chance at a deadly heist comes their way, the Crows will once again find themselves on a collision course with the legendary Sun Summoner.

Still Time

In this Italian romantic-comedy, Dante (Edoardo Leo) has a beautiful relationship with his girlfriend Alice (Barbara Ronchi), but he has a bad one with time. Absorbed by the many commitments of his daily life, he always arrives late and has the impression that his life is flowing too quickly.

It also happens on his forty-first birthday, when Dante shows up hours late to his own party. According to him, the solution seems at hand: if he works hard enough, maybe in a few years he will be able to buy some time.

But what happens when he wakes up the next day and finds himself already on his forty-first birthday? What happened to the rest of his year?

When, upon waking again, Alice puts a beautiful baby girl of a few months into his arms wishing him a happy forty-second birthday, Dante realises he has been catapulted into a waking nightmare: for some inexplicable reason he is living an accelerated life, in which he has no memory or control.

Sky High: The Series

A phone call in the middle of the night will change Sole’s (Asia Ortega) destiny: her gangster husband has died. Turned overnight into a young widow with a son to take care of and many troubled businesses to run, Sole is not willing to return to the tutelage of her father Rogelio (Luis Tosar), one of the biggest dealers of stolen objects in Madrid.

Determined to make a living for herself, Sole will find new allies along the way who will help her to unravel the mystery of the deaths that have marked her destiny, while she makes contact with a gang of thieves and manages to win their trust so she can once again carry out robberies as ambitious as those of the old days. But neither the police nor the different mafias she’ll have to compete with will be willing to make her way to heaven easy.

The Magician’s Elephant

When young Peter (Noah Jupe), who is searching for his long-lost sister, crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square, there is only one question on his mind: is his sister still alive? The answer – that he must follow a mysterious elephant – sets Peter off on a remarkable journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that magically change the face of his town forever.

Agent Elvis

In this animated comedy series, Elvis Presley (Matthew McConaughey) trades in his white jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a secret government spy program to help battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves – all while holding down his day job as the King of Rock and Roll.

Noise

This Belgian thriller tells the story of Matt (Ward Kerremans), an influencer and young parent to newborn Julius, who discovers a dark secret from his dementing father’s past. He starts an in-depth investigation, which consequently opens a Pandora’s box of secrets and unravels more family dramas than anticipated.

Matt’s wife, Liv (Sallie Harmsen), is deeply concerned and will do everything in her power not to lose him.

In His Shadow

This French crime-drama centres on 25-year-old Adama (Alassane Diong), who lost his sight as a child. His father’s sudden death has brought buried family conflicts with his half-brother Ibrahim (Kaaris) to the surface, a charismatic figure in the neighborhood.

Adama’s own stability is about to implode as Ibrahim descends deeper into violence and chaos. Saving his mother and his best friend will mean Adama having to face up to his half-brother and confront his fate.
