1. And Then There Were None – Foxtel

The three part series And Then There Were None is a thrilling adaptation of Agatha Christie’s best-selling novel. Much darker than your regular ‘whodunnit’, the story, set in the 1930s, sees 10 strangers come together in a mansion on a remote island off the coast of Devon. As the guests start to die one by one, the survivors must work against the clock to determine who the murderer is.

Starring: Douglass Booth, Charles Dance, Maeve Dermody and Sam Neill.

Coming to Foxtel April 23 2016

2. Secret City – Foxtel

With a stellar cast, Foxtel’s new political thriller is set in a world of lies, betrayal and murder. Set against the backdrop of Canberra, a political journalist uncovers a conspiracy that could put innocent people’s lives at risk. Featuring iconic locations such as Parliament House and the National Gallery, Foxtel’s new series is set to be a hit.

Starring: Jacki Weaver, Dan Wyllie, Alex Dimitriades

Coming to Foxtel May 26 2016

3. The Ranch - Netflix

With a winning combination of actors such as Ashton Kutcher and Sam Elliot, and some of the writers from Two and a Half Men, The Ranch seems set to be another hit for Netflix. When Colt (Ashton Kutcher) returns home to the ranch from his semi-pro football career, he has to face the father and brother he left behind, as well as his mother Maggie  (Debra Winger) and his high school flame (Elisha Cuthbert). This is a comedy that might take some time to grow on you, but definitely give it a go.

Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Debra Winger, Sam Elliot, Elisha Cuthbert and Kelli Goss.

Coming to Netflix April 1 2016

4. Better Call Saul – Stan

If you loved Breaking Bad, you’ll love this prequel which is set six years prior. Before he was the top attorney for Walter White, Saul was Jimmy McGill, a small time hustler trying to make it big. He looks after the little guys alongside Mike, a private investigator. Series one had rave reviews and the second series is about to be released so it’s a great time to catch up.

Starring: Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn.

Series 1 available on Stan, with Series 2 debuting March/April 2016
