With excitement levels rising with every passing day, we certainly can’t wait to catch up on what she’s been up to in the French capital.

The Witcher: Blood Origin

Every story has a beginning, and this season of The Witcher is going to take us back in time, 1200 years ago, to the start of the events that saw the worlds of monsters, men, and elves come together. The trailer, with its iconic line—all beginnings, all ends—certainly piqued our curiosity and made us wonder what the season would mean for the characters. This time, the show will revolve around the once powerful Elven civilization, the era where they were thriving, and the roles that they played in the Witcher world before it all went downhill.

Gossip Girl – Season 2

Get ready for a double delight as the reboot of the cult-favorite teen drama is back for a second season. Kristen Bell—the voice of Gossip Girl (both in the reboot and the original series)—is back. And we’re glad she is. The trailer already has us on the edge of our seats as we witnessed Audrey, Aki, and Max struggle with their new relationship dynamic, while Zoya explores a new friendship, and Julien works to maintain her social status in the aftermath of her father's social scandal—with her frenemy Monet awaiting her downfall. And yes, Georgina is back. What’s more, the second season will be one big chunk instead of being separated into two, which means that there’ll be more time for you to be immersed in the world of Gossip Girl as you sit to binge.

Slow Horses

One of our favourite espionage dramas is back with its second season and we can’t wait to watch Gary Oldman's as the brilliant Jackson Lamb and his Slough House team. The upcoming season, just a few days away, is based on Mick Herron's second book in the Lamb series, called Dead Lions, which sees Russian sleeper agents in London reactivated. This means one thing and one thing alone—our heroes must rise to the challenge and take their spy game to the next level in order to save the day and prevent the world from burning down.
