Baby Reindeer has quickly become the biggest word-of-mouth TV hit of the year so far, and it’s not hard to see why.
The Netflix miniseries depicts the complicated true story of creator Richard Gadd’s years-long ordeal with a female stalker.

He wrote and stars in the series as Donny alongside Jessica Gunning, who has won huge acclaim for her nuanced performance as stalker Martha.
Fans of the show have been shocked to discover just how much of the series is steeped in truth, but there are plenty more behind-the-scenes facts that make Baby Reindeer an even more incredible watch…
First of all, yes, Baby Reindeer is all based on a true story
Undoubtedly one of the most shocking things about Baby Reindeer is that it’s all based on a real life stalking ordeal creator Richard Gadd endured for around four-and-a-half years of his life.

Everything from Donny and Martha’s first meeting in the pub, her relentless texts and emails, and the darker chapters – including his sexual assault – are based on truth.
Among the most disturbing details about the show is that all the emails Donny receives in the show are verbatim copies of the real correspondence.
Richard received a total of 40,000 emails, 740 social media posts and 350 hours’ worth of voicemails from his real stalker, and each email in the show is chillingly depicted word for word.

However, it’s important to note that not everything depicted in Baby Reindeer is a ‘carbon copy’ of real life
While many details of the show are true to Richard Gadd’s own experiences, the writer has insisted that the show is not an exact recreation of people and events exactly as they happened.
“A lot of it is very true, and all of it is emotionally true,” he told Gay Times. “Obviously, we can’t carbon copy people and identities, for various artistic and legal reasons. But, it is certainly based in emotional truth and lots of the action you see in it happened for real.”
In particular, Richard Gadd wanted to ensure the identity of his real stalker was protected

The subject of Richard’s real life stalker has inevitably intrigued fans after watching the show – to the point where he’s even pleaded with viewers not to speculate online.
He previously insisted that measures were taken to ensure her identity remained unknown.
“I honestly couldn’t speak as to whether she would watch it,” he told GQ. “Her reactions to things varied so much that I almost couldn’t predict how she’d react to anything. She was quite an idiosyncratic person.
“We’ve gone to such great lengths to disguise her to the point that I don’t think she would recognise herself. What’s been borrowed is an emotional truth, not a fact-by-fact profile of someone.”
Baby Reindeer started life as a one-man stage play

Before viewers were binge-watching Baby Reindeer on Netflix, Richard was performing a stage version of his story in a one-man Edinburgh Festival Fringe show in 2019.

In that version, Martha was represented by an empty bar stool.
“It was me and a stool — Martha was a stool and I carried the stool around stage and I’d move her into different positions,” Richard told Variety.
“So to bring it from a 70-minute monologue into seven episodes, multiple characters, different strands and plot lines, it was a massive undertaking and a load of pressure.”
It later transferred to the West End and even won an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement In Affiliate Theatre.
Richard’s early stand-up comedy really was as bad as his on-screen counter-part’s
Donny’s comedy routines in Baby Reindeer are… interesting, to say the least. Decked out in elaborate costumes and a suitcase of wacky props, the actor’s struggling comedy career forms the backdrop of the show.

It turns out that his old stand-up performances really did resemble what we see in the screen. In an interview with the Guardian, he recalled the strange “juxtaposition” of his “tormenting” personal life, with his more mad-cap stage performances.
He added that, while audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe “love weird stuff”, those routines wouldn’t go down so well on the regular comedy circuit.
“I’d perform on the comedy circuit 11 months out of the year, to silence, because people expect more stuff that they see on TV,” he explained.
“Especially if they pay a high ticket price, they want to see dependable, seasoned, veteran comedians, and there’s this guy who’s taping ears to his nose, and they’re thinking: ‘This isn’t what I paid for.’”
Speaking in a video feature for Netflix, he elaborated that “the stand-up in the earlier years was terrible”, adding that he was trying to do “a weird brand” of “anti-comedy”.

Richard said he always had Jessica in mind for the part of Martha, telling ITV’s Lorraine: “I’d always seen Jess in various different shows and always thought that every role you did, you brought this kind of amazing nuance to it – always elevated everything you were in.”
He added that it was “something about your essence on camera that made me think, ‘this is Martha, we have to get her in.’”
Jessica had an interesting approach when it came to the audition process

In the lead-up to her audition, Jessica was leaving nothing up to chance.
“Usually I kind of leave it up to the universe – ‘If I’m right for this part, I’m right for this part,’” she told Vanity Fair. “But I had such a strong response [to the script].”
She even went so far as to have a makeup artist friend help age her appearance, so she could convince the show’s creators she could play an older character.
However, the two-decade age gap featured in the original Baby Reindeer play was eventually reduced by Netflix.
Jessica’s performance was so impressive Richard would find himself getting distracted on set
“To see Martha come alive through Jess’ performance, it was something to behold,” Richard shared in a Netflix video feature. “There were times on set when I was acting with her, I’d almost forget to say my line back, because I was too busy going, ‘Fucking hell she’s good’.”
He added that he “almost couldn’t believe how much she was channelling the real life person”.
It wasn’t exactly easy for Jessica to switch Martha off after a day of filming

Jessica has revealed that bringing Martha to life wasn’t without its challenges..
“I always used to roll my eyes slightly when actors said ‘Oh god, it took me a week to say goodbye,’ but because this is obviously based on a true story, and I know Richard now, I wanted to do the part justice so much I think I was constantly with her all the time in my head,” she told Metro.
“Even when there were days I wasn’t in, I was thinking of Martha and the story, just wanting to do the best I could do,” Jessica added.
“In that aspect, I didn’t really let go of her until we finished filming. I couldn’t really put her to bed.”
Martha’s email address also contains a hidden reference to a classic show
All of Martha’s emails on the show come from an address resembling a spam account, but the seemingly scrambled sequence is not random at all.

Journalist (and Lost superfan) Jacob Stolworthy pointed out on X that those numbers are in fact the infamous cursed numbers from Lost.

One scene shares a key filming location with another of Jessica Cunningham’s biggest projects
While Donny initially tries to limit his dates with Teri to a dingy cocktail bar, she eventually coaxes him into a night out with her at London’s iconic LGBTQ+ venue the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.
These scenes were filmed at the real RVT, which also served as a filming location in All Of Us Strangers starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal.

Funnily enough, the bar was previously used as a shooting location in another project Jessica Gunning appeared in – 2014’s Pride, about a group of gay activists who set out to help during the 1984 miners’ strike.
Other projects that have been shot at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in recent history include Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie and Danny Boyle’s miniseries Pistol.
Richard Gadd has an interesting theory about one of the show’s most important scenes
Donny is first introduced to Martha when she enters the pub where he works in tears. As a gesture of kindness, he gives Martha a cup of tea on the house. It’s the catalyst to the whole saga – but it’s never detailed why she was so upset in the first place.

Appearing on This Morning, host Cat Deeley asked Richard if he knew what prompted the real “Martha” to come into his pub so upset.
“No, but I questioned it all of the time,” he said, before sharing his own idea. “I wondered if it was the end of her stalking relationship with someone else and the start of it with me.”
Nava Mau actually learned ballet to play Teri
It turns out the cast of Baby Reindeer did not cut any corners with the show.
One brief scene in episode five shows Teri demonstrating her ballet skills to Donny in her apartment. Although it’s a fleeting moment for viewers, this choreography wasn’t just thrown together – Nava actually learned ballet.
Speaking to Gay Times, she shared: “Every single day on set, I was doing something I had never done before, whether that’s technical or emotional. I had to learn ballet!”

Baby Reindeer made use of an intimacy coordinator in to make sure everything was handled sensitively
The Baby Reindeer crew brought in the expertise of intimacy coordinator Elle McAlpine, who has previously worked on huge productions like the Oscar-winning Poor Things and Netflix’s One Day.
Nava Mau told GQ it was “really helpful to have a third person” brought into the show’s unique dynamic.
“She had some great little tips for some of the intimate scenes on how to perform them in a way that felt true and connected,” she added.
One scene in particular was ‘traumatic’ for everyone involved
There are plenty of moments in Baby Reindeer that make for difficult viewing, but one scene was especially challenging for the whole cast.

In episode three, Martha catches Donny and Teri on a date, which triggers her to confront and brutally attack Teri. Richard told Gay Times that this scene was “traumatic for everyone”, explaining: “I saw them do that fight scene, rolling around on the floor take after take.”
He added that Nava’s character was required to cry for “10 minutes straight”. It was especially challenging for her because she had “experienced violence like that” before.
She explained: “Even if I didn’t want to relive it, your body inevitably reactivates a certain physical memory. You have to take care of yourself, before, during and after. That’s the only way through it, otherwise it can reopen wounds that you’ll need to deal with.”
“I had physical recall in my muscle memory from when I’ve been attacked like that,” she later revealed to Glamour.
However, Nava did also tell the magazine that co-star Jessica had her “cracking up” between takes while filming their fight sequence.

“It was such a blessing that I met Jess for the first time when we were doing our stunt training,” she said. “And she was the most lovely person you could ever meet.’
The ending was deliberately ambiguous
Baby Reindeer doesn’t end on the good-triumphs-over-evil kind of climax we’re more used to seeing in other TV series.
Instead, the final scene finds Donny on the receiving end of a familiar act of kindness when a barman offers him a free drink – mirroring the first episode. It’s an ending that’s open to all kinds of interpretations, which was very much deliberate on Richard’s part.
“I quite like the ambiguity of the ending, I sort of don’t want to put a meaning on it. I think it can be interpreted in a lot of different ways,” he told the Radio Times.

“I know what it is in my head – that ending’s my favourite thing in the whole series, the way it ends.”
Baby Reindeer is available to watch on Netflix now.
On Monday evening, it was revealed that TikTok fave Charley Marlowe will serve as the narrator for I Kissed A Girl when it debuts next month.
“You lot are in for a bloody treat, because I’m going to be the voice of I Kissed A Girl, the UK’s first ever dating show for girls who like girls,” Charley said in an announcement.
“Although you won’t be seeing me on your screens, I did audition and I did in fact get pied for being too sexy. But never fear, we’ve got 10 single girls ready to mingle and one iconic host.”
And on the subject of that “iconic host” – Dannii Minogue will once again be on presenting duties, after winning praise from viewers for her work on I Kissed A Boy.
I Kissed A Girl will premiere on the BBC iPlayer on Sunday 5 May. Episodes will also be airing on BBC Three at 9pm on Sunday and Monday nights.
Since the arrival of Baby Reindeer on Netflix this month, fans have been shocked and moved by the powerful new show about one man’s stalking ordeal.
The miniseries follows pub worker Donny and his experience dealing with a stalker called Martha, while also exploring themes of sexual assault and mental health.
Jessica Gunning actor delivers a thoughtful, multi-layered performance as Donny’s stalker Martha in Baby Reindeer.
She caught Richard’s eye thanks to her impressive TV resume including roles in The Outlaws, Back and Fortitude. Going back further, her credits range from Trollied, Jericho, What Remains and the UK version of Law & Order: UK.
Nava Mau plays the love interest Teri in Baby Reindeer, and is fairly new to the TV industry.
She has appeared in a few short films, but her biggest role so far was playing Ana in the US dramedy, Genera+ion alongside Justice Smith.
Tom Goodman-Hill
Tom Goodman-Hill plays Donny’s abuser, Darrien, in Baby Reindeer, appearing in some of the show’s most harrowing moments.

He previously appeared in episodes of Silent Witness, Cheat, Humans and Mr Selfridge, as well as the very first episode of Black Mirror, The National Anthem, playing an advisor to the fictional prime minister Michael Callow.
Before playing one of the managers at Donny’s pub job in Baby Reindeer, Danny Kirrane’s TV show appearances included The Sandman, The Serpent Queen and Trollied.
Hugh plays a drama school friend of Donny’s in Baby Reindeer, having previously been in TV shows like Juice Dreamland, Atlanta, Death In Paradise and Defending The Guilty. He also made his film debut in 2018’s The Festival, from the creator of The Inbetweeners.
On the stage he played the original role of George McFly in the stage musical version of Back To The Future, which earned him a nomination at the 2022 Oliviers.
Michael Wildman

Emmerdale fans will of course know Michael for playing Al Chapman on the soap between 2019 and 2022. He also has TV credits in Marcella, Rellik, Back, Family Affairs and Casualty.
As for film roles, he’s had small and supporting appearances in films like Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, Ready Player One, London Has Fallen and The Bourne Ultimatum. And, not that anyone would recognise Michael under all the prosthetics and makeup, he even played the centaur Magorian in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Shalom Brune-Franklin
Before she landed the part of Donny’s ex-girlfiend Keeley in Baby Reindeer, you probably recognised from her performance as DC Chloe Bishop in Line Of Duty’s seventh season.
She also appeared in Our Girl, The Tourist and the 2023 TV adaptation of Great Expectations.
A new month means a whole load of new films, TV shows, documentaries and more to sink our teeth into over on Netflix.
In the coming weeks, the streaming service will be treating us to big-budget sci-fi, intriguing gritty dramas, slick and star-studded miniseries and what’s sure to be one of the year’s most talked-about original films.

Tell me more: Undoubtedly one of Netflix’s most eagerly-awaited originals of this year (especially here in the UK), Scoop dives into the story behind Prince Andrew’s infamous 2019 interview on Newsnight, exploring both the events leading up to the jaw-dropping broadcast, as well as its aftermath.
Netflix says: “Inspired by real events, Scoop is the inside account of the tenacious journalism that landed an earth-shattering interview – Prince Andrew’s infamous BBC Newsnight appearance.

“From the tension of producer Sam McAlister’s high stakes negotiations with Buckingham Palace, all the way to Emily Maitlis’ jaw dropping, forensic showdown with the Prince, Scoop takes us inside the story, with the women who would stop at nothing to get it. To get an interview this big, you have to be bold.”

Tell me more: A quick glance at Letterboxd and Rotten Tomatoes suggests the first instalment of Justice League director Zack Snyder’s “space opera” Rebel Moon was a little on the divisive side. Still, for those who did enjoy the first instalment, part two looks to be just as action-packed.

Netflix says: “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver continues the epic saga of Kora and the surviving warriors as they prepare to sacrifice everything, fighting alongside the brave people of Veldt, to defend a once peaceful village, a newfound homeland for those who have lost their own in the fight against the Motherworld.
“On the eve of their battle the warriors must face the truths of their own pasts, each revealing why they fight. As the full force of the Realm bears down on the burgeoning rebellion, unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge, and legends are made.”
Tell me more: One of a handful of new comedy specials coming to Netflix in April, Autistic Bikini Queen sees Scottish comic Fern Brady putting her spin on all kinds of heavy themes in her own inimitable style.
Netflix says: “Known for being totally unique and completely fearless, her caustic wit, exceptional writing and electric stagecraft have made Fern one of the UK’s hottest comedy stars. In this special, she’ll be tackling big issues such as death, shagging, marriage and ageing.

“In her typically honest and authentic way Fern is never scared to speak her mind. This show is the culmination of nearly two years of rumination.”
The four-day Easter weekend is a high-point of the year, allowing us to get out in the world, catch up with friends we haven’t seen in a while or maybe even take a little trip to make the most out of all that time off.
For some of us, that is. For others, it’s the chance to catch up on some much-needed rest, spending all that extra time in the most low-key way possible.

If you fall into the latter camp, it’s understandable that you might find yourself at a bit of a loose end when it comes to passing the time. Or, of course, it could be that you have children to keep occupied for that loooong Bank Holiday weekend.

Easy A
What’s it all about? Following in the footsteps of favourites like Heathers, Clueless and Mean Girls, Easy A is a quirky and quotable teen comedy that introduces us to Emma Stone’s Olive, a high schooler who leans into her new reptuation when a false rumour about her is spread around her peers.
Perfect for: When you’re back at work in the morning and you need something to take your mind off it for those precious last hours of the Bank Holiday.
Whether you know him from his star-making turn in Red, White and Royal Blue, or from the likes of Purple Hearts, Bottoms or his upcoming movie with Anne Hathaway, The Idea of You, there’s no denying that Nicholas Galitzine’s star is on the rise.
The 29-year-old actor is currently starring in Sky drama Mary & George alongside Julianne Moore. The historical series follows the rather raunchy story of Jacobean social climbers George Villiers and his mother Mary, who charmed their way into the good graces of King James I.
In truth, Galitzine has played a cross-section of characters in his career so far, including dumb jocks, recovering drug addicts and sensitive princes. One thing that seems to re-occur, however, is queerness.
“There’s sort of a plethora of reasons for this”, the actor tell us. “One, I have so many friends within the community, and I know so many of them didn’t feel like they had these stories growing up.”
“My gay friends were like wow, to have something cheesy and broad and wholesome is like really, really important, and I think the resonance of that means a lot to me.”
Before this, the actor (who is straight) has played a number of gay and bisexual characters, including a rugby playing teen struggling with his sexuality in Handsome Devil, a gay blackmailer in crime drama Legends and a bisexual high schooler in The Craft: Legacy.
When asked what draws him to roles rooted in queerness, the actor seemed reflective.
“I think with all of these characters the thing that I find really intriguing as an actor is that underbelly of vulnerability and having to hide oneself. I’m very interested in identity; George is very different in a ways because his sex and his sexuality is his power”, he told HuffPost UK.
“I think they’ve all just been really rich characters in of themselves”, continued the Red, White and Royal Blue star. “You know, you read that in the script it just becomes a bit of a no-brainer.”
Galitzine will next appear in Prime Video’s adaptation of the Robinne Lee novel The Idea of You, which follows the love affair between a divorced mother (Hathaway) and the lead singer of the hottest boyband on the planet (Galitzine).
Even now, settled down in my mid-30s, I shudder at the words “friend zone”.
What a time that was. Women being blamed for not reciprocating feelings to men who fancied them. Men thinking that the gift of friendship wasn’t good enough because they wanted more. Grim.
If you’re not familiar, first of all, can I come and live with you under that gorgeous rock? Secondly, I’ll break it down for you.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the friend zone is: “the state of being friends with someone when you would prefer a romantic or sexual relationship with them.”
So, for example, somebody would know that they were “friend zoned” if their crush came to them for relationship advice.
Sure, it’s not an ideal situation but it was often framed quite misogynistically.
As Andrea Carlo said back in 2018 on the ‘friend zone’: “Behind the entire notion stands a history of self-loathing, reactionary traditionalism and misogyny which, as subtle as it is, manages to rear its head whenever the word comes up. It may be the driving force of romantic dramas and hilarious memes, but it may be time we ditch the concept for good.”
Imagine my shock when I found out that this tacky term came from no other than one of my favourite shows: Friends!

Where the phrase ‘friend zone’ came from
While the phrase didn’t really take off until the 2010s, it actually originated in a Friends episode way back in 1994.
In the episode, ‘The One With The Blackout’, Joey informs Ross that when it comes to Ross’s crush on Rachel, it’s, “never gonna happen.”
He goes on to say: “You and Rachel. You waited too long to make your move and now you’re in The Friend Zone. Ross, you’re mayor of the zone. I’m telling you, she has no idea what you’re thinking.”
He then adds that if Ross doesn’t make a move soon, he’ll be “stuck in the zone forever.”
Listen, am I surprised that this was the perspective of Joey Tribbiani? Absolutely not. Do I enjoy that he was wrong and it turns out that friendship can be a foundation for a romantic relationship? Yes. 100%.

Bursting onto the show in the fifth series, Erin Hannon, played by Ellie Kemper, soon became the sweetheart of The Office, befriending Kelly, dating Andy and taking her role as receptionist far more seriously than Pam ever did.
A ray of sunshine in an otherwise quite cynical office, Erin was a truly welcome addition to the show and as Andy, played by Ed Helms said: “You’re the nicest person I’ve ever met.”
Advertisement
Whether you loved or hated her, Erin really made a name for herself in the workplace and was soon just as familiar as Michael, Dwight, and Pam herself.
However, her name, uh, actually wasn’t Erin. It was Kelly. And they even told us that.
How did we forget?!
Why Erin from The Office didn’t use her real name
According to NBC, audiences originally met her as “Kelly,” her actual first name. But every time the new boss, Charles Miner (Idris Elba) called for her, Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) would run into his office and say, “Yes, you wanted me?” so he decided they needed to differentiate between the two Kellys.
Erin then very sweetly offered to use her middle name instead and continued to for the rest of the series.
I mean, would you try to compete with Kelly Kapoor? I know I wouldn’t.
Plus, as ScreenRant said, it worked out for the best: “The closest thing Erin had to an actual friend on The Office was definitely Kelly. Some of their friendship was developed in online web videos like “Subtle Sexuality,” but they were also shown to hang out with one another during the show as well.”

While the two didn’t have a perfect relationship and Erin was often naive to Kelly’s more manipulative behaviour’s, they were an iconic duo and dropping Erin’s real name was a small price to pay.
Amid all of the conversation about Netflix’s new retelling of One Day, many of us might well be reminiscing about the 2011 film adaptation of the much-loved book.
While this new TV series has received mostly glowing reviews, the 2011 movie was a little more on the divisive side, thanks in no small part to Anne Hathaway’s attempts to speak in a Leeds accent.

And if you’re wondering – yes that meant that Ambika Mod, who plays Emma in this new version of the story, was “absolutely” feeling the pressure when she was getting ready for the role.
Speaking to HuffPost UK ahead of the show’s launch, Ambika admitted she’d previously “never” managed to perfect the Northern accent required for the character.
“If you see my audition tapes, I can’t do the Yorkshire accent,” she revealed. “I couldn’t do it.”
For those who’ve already seen One Day, you’ll know that Ambika did make it in the end, which she credits to the “amazing” dialect coach Natalie Grady.

“We were militant – we met, like, three times a week, hour-and-a-half sessions, we went through every single sound,” she revealed.
“I learned a really, really strong, authentic Leeds accent, and then we pared it down and found an accent that felt really truthful to Emma and where she was in episode one, and then we tapered it from then on.
“But yeah, it took a village, for sure. I definitely didn’t just do it on my own. But I’m very glad that people think it’s OK.”
Ambika also said that once she was cast as Emma, she made the decision not to revisit the film version of One Day, out of concern “it would throw me”.

“Me neither,” her co-star Leo Woodall agreed. “I watched it before the first audition, because I hadn’t read the book. But that was it.”
Before One Day began streaming, Ambika was best known for her performance in the BBC medical comedy-drama This Is Going To Hurt, as well as roles in I Hate Suzie and Trying.
Leo also had a key role in the most recent series of The White Lotus, earning himself and his co-stars a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Performance By An Ensemble In A TV Drama.
Congratulations, folks. We’ve done it. We’ve made it through the longest January on record.
Our reward? A whole load of new TV, movies and more on Netflix to keep us amused over the next four weeks.
February 2024 will see long-awaited dramas, returning favourites and intriguing international offerings making their debut on the platform – as well as a certain major awards show streaming live on Netflix for the first time.

What’s it about? Based on David Nicholls’ much-loved book (which itself inspired a hit film in 2011, starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess), One Day tells the story of a pair of best friends with undeniable chemistry, checking in with them on the same day over a period of 18 years and checking in with their personal highs and lows.
Netflix says: “One Day tells the story of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew who, on 15th July 1988, the night of their graduation, speak for the very first time. The next morning, they go their separate ways but where will they be on this one ordinary day the next year, and the year after that, and every year that follows?
“Each episode finds Dex and Em, one year older, on this one particular date, as they grow and change, move together and apart, experience joy and heartbreak. One Day is a decades-spanning love story, based on the worldwide bestseller by David Nicholls.”

What’s it about? Arguably the documentary that put Sunderland AFC on the map (and inspired Ryan Reynolds’ purchase of Wrexham for his own Disney+ show), Sunderland ’Til I Die follows the inner workings of the team over the course of a season, as well as key members of its fanbase.

After two successful series, Sunderland ’Til I Die is back for one last outing, charting several recent triumphs for the club.
Netflix says: “The six-part documentary provides unprecedented access into the inner workings of Sunderland A.F.C.; from the board to the admin staff and the first team to the fans, in an enduring image of passion and aspiration.”

What’s it about? Now into its sixth season, Love Is Blind is back for a brand new batch of episodes just in time for Valentine’s Day.
You know the drill by now. Love Is Blind follows couples from their first meeting to the moment they get engaged – the only catch being they can’t see one another face-to-face until someone gets down on knees. From there, we see their journey from isolation pods to the altar as they ponder whether love truly is blind.

Netflix says: “The hit reality series is back for a sixth season, following a new set of singles from Charlotte, North Carolina — all ready to cut through the static of modern dating and forge authentic relationships, sight unseen.
“This season, the singles form deep and immediate connections, setting the stage for an unexpected journey full of twists, turns, and shocking revelations that will test each relationship well after the participants leave the pods for the real world.”

What’s it about? Essentially a cross between Love Island and Squid Game, this new series from Thailand imagines a world where the number of baby boys being born is dwindling and, as a result, so is the world’s population.
To remedy this, women need to compete for the attention of the few men that are left in a reality TV format dubbed – you guessed it – Ready, Set, Love.

Netflix says: “In a parallel universe, female newborns vastly outnumbered their male counterparts due to an inexplicable pandemic. As men become rarer, they are hailed as ‘national treasures’, and women must win their affections in a government-sponsored competition called ‘Ready, Set, Love’.
“‘Day’ is an ordinary young woman who is unexpectedly accepted into the competition where she meets ‘Son’, the most popular guy, and sparks fly. Together they uncover a conspiracy operating beneath the surface, which threatens their love and the world they have come to know.”

What’s it about? After achieving huge success with their live-action remake of One Piece last year, Netflix is no doubt hoping it can work similar magic with this new spin on the animated fantasy drama Avatar: The Last Airbender.
This new take on the classic series features teen actor Gordon Cormier as the titular Avatar Aang, with Lost star Daniel Dae Kim playing Fire Lord Ozai.
Netflix says: “Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world.
“With the current incarnation of the Avatar yet to emerge, the world has lost hope. But like a light in the darkness, hope springs forth when Aang, a young Air Nomad — and the last of his kind — reawakens to take his rightful place as the next Avatar.
“Alongside his newfound friends Sokka and Katara, siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai . But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko determined to capture them, it won’t be an easy task.”

What’s it about? Between Sex/Life, Obsession and Fair Play, erotic thrillers are having a real moment over on Netflix. This latest offering centres on defence lawyer Mea Harper, who takes on a case that winds up turning her entire life upside down.
Oh, and yes, that’s Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland in the lead role.
Netflix says: “When criminal defence attorney Mea Harper takes on the murder case of artist Zyair Malloy, the truth isn’t as obvious as it seems.
“While she tries to determine the innocence or guilt of her cagy-yet-seductive client, it is uncovered that everyone is guilty of something. Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa explores what happens when burning desire takes hold and things get hot… and dangerous.”

What’s it about? Yep, Netflix has even got in on the awards season fun now.
The last “big one” before the Oscars, the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards recognises the best individual and ensemble acting performances from the past 12 months from both the world of TV and film – with actors themselves doing the voting.
And given what an eventful year the Screen Actors’ Guild has had, this could be one to keep an eye on. For the first time, the SAG Awards will be streaming live worldwide on Netflix – but set your alarm, because the fun gets going in the early hours of Monday 25 February.
Netflix says: “The award show for actors, by actors, celebrates its 30th year.”
