Bridgerton season 4 part 2
The lustful looks. The romping romance. The fanciful frills. A certain bathtub scene. The second part of Bridgerton’s fourth season is arriving later this month – and frankly, it couldn’t come sooner.
The chemistry between Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) will undoubtedly be off the charts, even if the second-eldest brother made a massive mistake at the end of last season when he asked the woman he’s been pining after to be his mistress.
No one wants to be loved in secret – and Sophie deserves to be cherished for all the Ton to see.
Bridgerton season 4 part 2 premieres on Thursday February 26 on Netflix.

The Lincoln Lawyer season 4
The third season of The Lincoln Lawyer ended with a jaw-dropping finale, with criminal defence lawyer Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) being framed for murder when a dead body is found in the trunk of his car.
So, how does the fourth instalment follow up from that shocking cliffhanger? With incredibly high stakes, showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez revealed.
With his very life and reputation on the line, he’ll need the strength and support of his entire team, and his entire family, to fight for his future,’ they said.
Fans have already been raving about the fourth season, with one X user called @_iamchocolate tweeting: ‘Give me season 5 now!!!’
The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 is now available to stream on Netflix.
Cross season 2
When the first season of crime thriller Cross premiered in November 2024, it sparked a mixed bag of reactions.
Some found it thrilling, others claimed it was too cliché – but as one Reddit user remarked: ‘People act like every TV show that comes out has to be some masterpiece – they can just be entertaining sometimes.’
The drama, based on the books by James Patterson, returns this week for season 2, and plenty of viewers have admitted they ‘can’t wait’ for its comeback.
Cross season 2 is available to stream on Prime Video with new episodes being released weekly.
The Artful Dodger season 2
Some might question how many Oliver Twist adaptations we really need – but fortunately, The Artful Dodger went down a storm when it premiered with its first season in 2023.
Metro’s Senior TV Reporter Asyia Iftikhar described it as an ‘inventive take on a well-loved story that managed to make its mark in its own right’.
What did Metro think of The Artful Dodger season 1?
Senior TV Reporter Asyia Iftikhar gives her verdict:
The Artful Dodger season one totally captivated me. Not only was it a really inventive take on a well-loved story (Oliver Twist), but it managed to make its mark in its own right.
Thomas Brodie Sangster brought a brilliant energy to our titular reformed thief, and I was completely drawn into his fiery, sharp and taut chemistry with co-star Maia Mitchell, who plays the vivacious Lady Belle Fox.
For those who enjoy the daring hijinks of Artful Dodger and Fagin, there’s plenty of criminal cahoots to dig your teeth into with a strong underlying plot.
But I was all about the burgeoning love story, and the historical romance will sweep you in and leave you hooked – as it did me.
Now, the mischievous and skilful Artful Dodger (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) is finally back for round two, with one fan writing on X on the day of release: ‘I don’t understand how there aren’t more people obsessed.’
The Artful Dodger season 2 is available to stream on Disney Plus.
The Night Agent season 3
The Night Agent began with an enthralling premise: an FBI agent called Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) works at the White House, his role being to answer the Night Action phone line for Night Agents in their hour of need.
It rarely rings, but Peter is thrown into action when an emergency call beckons.
In season three, Peter is facing the consequences of making a ‘deal with the devil’, while working with a journalist to try to uncover a major conspiracy.
The Night Agent season 3 premieres on Thursday February 19 on Netflix.
The Last Thing He Told Me season 2
Jennifer Garner is widely regarded as one of the nicest people in Hollywood – so getting to see her sink her teeth into a high-octane thriller is a true delight, especially in the gripping Apple TV Plus drama The Last Thing He Told Me.
The second season picks up exactly where the first left off, with Hannah (Jennifer Garner) being left in a state of bewildered shock by the reappearance of her husband Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), five years after he disappeared.
The Last Thing He Told Me season 2 premieres on Friday February 20 on Apple TV Plus.
Paradise season 2
You can trust that any time you see Sterling K Brown on your screen, he’s going to bring his absolute A-game.
That was proven yet again in the first season of Paradise, which has been hailed by fans as ‘one of the best TV shows’ of recent years – an apt description.
It delivered one of the twists of all twists, and in season two, special agent Xavier (Sterling) embarks on a new dangerous quest after learning that his wife – who had been presumed dead after a nuclear blast demolished the world – might still be alive.
Paradise season 2 premieres on Monday February 23 on Disney Plus.
