“Not Suitable for Work” (season 1) — centers on five ambitious twenty-somethings trying to turn post-college chaos into real adult lives in New York’s Murray Hill, where career pressure, rent, romance, and friendship all collide in apartments, offices, bars, and hallways that feel too small for everyone’s expectations. AJ Pascarelli arrives as an intense first-year analyst at a powerful investment bank, determined to prove she belongs in a world built on competition and impossible hours, while Davis Beau Bradley Barrett III hides insecurity behind finance-bro confidence and a messy longing for something more serious. Across the hall, Abby Chilukuri works as a fashion-obsessed assistant to demanding celebrity stylist Vanessa Hsu, chasing glamour while learning how easily style, status, and self-worth can blur.

“Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl” (2024) — returns to West Wallaby Street, where Wallace’s latest attempt to make life easier leaves Gromit feeling more ignored than ever. Convinced that good gardening should involve fewer muddy paws and more buttons, Wallace invents Norbot, a cheerful “smart” gnome designed to trim hedges, tidy lawns, and handle every outdoor chore with mechanical enthusiasm. But Gromit’s quiet suspicion that his master is becoming too dependent on machines proves justified when the supposedly helpful invention is hijacked by Feathers McGraw, the silent criminal penguin still nursing a grudge after the events of The Wrong Trousers. Soon, one Norbot becomes an army, a strange crime wave sweeps through town, and Wallace finds himself treated less like an eccentric inventor and more like the prime suspect.

The season sends them through strange new corners of space and reality, from the long-promised madness of Boob World and a parking-lot battle outside Trader Joe’s to sentient furniture, alien summer camp, and bizarre domestic crises that drag Beth, Space Beth, Jerry, and Summer into Rick’s orbit whether they want it or not.

His misery is complicated by Meghan and Julian, Neil and Donna, and other travelers who try to pull him out of himself with advice, meddling, and their own imperfect versions of love, while Gia, a warm and direct café owner, challenges the story Matt keeps telling himself about rejection.

“Ready or Not: Here I Come” (2026) — picks up in the immediate wreckage of Grace’s blood-soaked wedding-night nightmare, as she discovers that surviving the Le Domas family was not the end of the game but an entrance into something older, richer, and far more powerful. Still traumatized, furious, and barely able to process what happened, Grace is pulled into a new ritual when her estranged sister Faith reappears, forcing the two women to survive together despite years of resentment and abandonment between them. This time, the hunt is not confined to one cursed mansion: four elite families tied to Le Bail’s hidden council want Grace dead before she can claim the High Seat, and their wealth turns hotels, estates, casinos, private rooms, and polished social spaces into traps. Figures like Ursula and Titus Danforth, Chester Danforth, Ignacio El Caido, Bill Wilkinson, Wan Chen Xing, and the eerie Lawyer surround the sisters with old money, occult rules, and smiling cruelty, while Grace’s exhausted survival instincts clash with Faith’s disbelief and anger.

“The Sheep Detectives” (2026) — opens in the seemingly peaceful English village of Denbrook, where kindly shepherd George Hardy spends his evenings reading murder mysteries aloud to the flock he raises only for wool, never suspecting that Lily, Mopple, Cloud, Sir Richfield, Zora, Wool-Eyes, Sebastian, and the rowdy twins Reggie and Ronnie understand far more than any human imagines. When George is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the sheep immediately apply everything they have learned from detective fiction and decide that their beloved shepherd has been murdered. Their investigation sends them nosing through fields, village lanes, the local inn, legal offices, church corners, and butcher-shop gossip, while clumsy policeman Tim Derry struggles to make sense of a case the animals may understand better than he does. Human suspects gather quickly, from George’s estranged daughter Rebecca Hampstead and mysterious lawyer Lydia Harbottle to innkeeper Beth Pennock, reporter Elliot Matthews, rival shepherd Caleb Merrow, Reverend Hillcoate, and other villagers with motives tucked behind polite smiles. As the flock tries to communicate clues without causing a full human panic, their cosy farm world turns into a comic whodunnit about grief, loyalty, memory, and the strange brilliance of creatures everyone keeps underestimating. “The Sheep Detectives” (2026) becomes a warm, eccentric family mystery where the smallest witnesses may be the only ones woolly enough, stubborn enough, and clever enough to uncover the truth.

“New Zealand Spy” (season 1) — opens in a deliberately shabby 1960s-1970s version of Aotearoa, where the New Zealand Intelligence Agency decides to recruit new operatives through a newspaper ad and somehow ends up with only three wildly unsuitable applicants. Michael Brown, reinventing himself with the far more glamorous spy name Michael Riviera, arrives with ambition, suits, and an inflated sense of destiny, while Sue Nightingale and Michael Anderson bring their own insecurities, odd talents, and complete lack of real espionage experience into a system that may be just as confused as they are. Under the watch of the agency’s deadpan Boss, the recruits are pushed into a world of clumsy surveillance, suspicious foreigners, coded messages, awkward romance, workplace rivalry, and missions where the country’s modest resources make every threat feel both ridiculous and strangely serious. As Misty Atwood, Dennis Greene, Isabelle, Danyon, and a parade of eccentric contacts complicate their training, the trio stumble through betrayal, bad disguises, sudden danger, and the uncomfortable discovery that pretending to be a spy is much easier than surviving as one. The season turns Cold War paranoia into dry Kiwi absurdity, finding comedy in outdated offices, tiny budgets, national insecurity, and people trying to look cool while barely understanding the job. “New Zealand Spy” (season 1) becomes an offbeat espionage comedy about ambition, incompetence, friendship, and the heroic struggle to defend a small country with very questionable tools.

“Widow’s Bay” (season 1) — follows Tom Loftis, the stubborn and increasingly frayed mayor of a small coastal town determined to prove that Widow’s Bay is safe, even as strange incidents, local legends, and mounting unease suggest the opposite. What begins as a PR stunt — spending a night in the town’s supposedly haunted historic inn — spirals into a series of unsettling encounters that blur the line between civic duty and creeping dread, exposing fractures in the community he’s trying to hold together. As annual traditions like the beach’s ceremonial opening take on a sinister edge, Tom’s attempts to reassure the public only deepen his paranoia, especially as odd figures, ominous warnings, and unexplained events accumulate around him. The townspeople’s quirks shift from comedic to threatening, revealing a place where folklore, fear, and denial intertwine, and where every civic ritual feels like a test of who will crack first. With each episode layering dark humor over rising tension, the season becomes a sharp, off‑kilter blend of horror and comedy about a man trying to maintain control in a town that refuses to behave logically. “Widow’s Bay” (season 1) emerges as a strange, atmospheric coastal nightmare where every smile hides a warning and every tradition masks something older, deeper, and hungry.

“Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” (season 1) — follows Paula Sanders, a newly divorced mother trying to hold together her fractured family, custody battle, and sense of identity when her life takes a sharp turn into a dangerous maze of blackmail, murder, and youth soccer. What begins as a private moment of escape becomes a nightmare after Paula is convinced she has witnessed a crime, only to find that the police are not nearly as alarmed as she is. With her ex-husband Karl Hendricks still tangled in her personal life, her daughter Hazel watching more than Paula realizes, and friends like Mallory orbiting the chaos, Paula starts digging on her own, pulling at clues that lead from online deception and suburban secrets to a conspiracy that seems to know exactly how vulnerable she is. Detectives Sofia Gonzales and Baxter become part of the growing pressure around her, while figures like Trevor, Rudy, and Geri complicate a mystery where everyone appears to be hiding some version of the truth. As Paula’s amateur investigation collides with school fields, digital trails, family arguments, and threats that become increasingly personal, the season turns her midlife unraveling into something darker, funnier, and more dangerous than she expected. “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” (season 1) becomes a darkly comedic thriller about panic, reinvention, motherhood, and the terrifying possibility that solving the crime may be the only way Paula can rebuild herself.

“Smoggie Queens” (season 2) — returns to Middlesbrough with Dickie, Mam, Lucinda, Sal, and Stewart navigating a new wave of romance, embarrassment, family drama, and proudly chaotic queer friendship after Stewart’s difficult coming-out journey left the group even more determined to rally around him. The season throws them straight back into Boro madness with a surprise coming-out party at Keith’s World of Carpets that spirals into a surreal search-party disaster, setting the tone for a run of date nights, emotional misunderstandings, drag-fuelled confidence, and local absurdity. Dickie, newly single and desperate to be adored, keeps chasing romance with more ego than wisdom, while Mam faces uncomfortable ghosts from the past that threaten the glamorous, protective persona everyone depends on. Sal finds herself caught between Danni and Mel, Lucinda’s relationship with Neil hits a very Lucinda-shaped road bump, and Stewart tries to step into his fresh chapter without being smothered by everyone else’s good intentions. As the gang stumble through a male beauty pageant, a football match, awkward reunions, and the kind of small-town chaos only they could turn into a full emotional crisis, the season keeps its camp humour close to something tender. “Smoggie Queens” (season 2) becomes a louder, warmer sitcom about chosen family, messy love, self-acceptance, and the strange comfort of people who may ruin your day but will never let you face it alone.
