The new season of Tehran picks up with Tamar fighting for her life after the dramatic season two finale, which included an assassination attempt, poisoning, and a dangerous escape.

‘Hijack’ (Season 2)

The thrilling second season of Hijack delves deeper into the intense world of hostage crises and the emotional impact they have on everyone involved. The first season captivated audiences with its non-stop suspense, smart plot, and a stellar performance by Idris Elba, who played Sam Nelson.

The second season of Hijack is shaping up well, following the same successful style but with a new, high-stakes story: a hostage situation on a train in Berlin. Sam Nelson is at the center of the crisis, and the show promises the same thrilling pace and captivating drama that made the first season so popular.

The first season of Drops of God is a captivating show that appeals to both wine experts and those who simply enjoy it. It’s a delicious blend of mystery, competition, and a celebration of wine from around the world. The season focused on the intense rivalry between Camille Léger and Issei Tomine, who were both vying to inherit a prestigious wine estate.

With the competition concluded, the second season of Drops of God focuses on a larger mystery: the search for the legendary ‘Drops of God’ wine collection. The series continues to offer beautiful visuals, compelling characters, and smart writing – qualities that earned it an International Emmy Award and praise from wine experts. Season two premieres January 21, 2026, on Apple TV+, with episodes released weekly.

I’m so excited for season three of Shrinking! The cast is already amazing, and they’ve added some incredible new faces. Michael J. Fox is joining us, and I’m really touched they’re going to explore Parkinson’s disease with his guest appearance. Plus, Jeff Daniels will be playing Jimmy’s father, which is going to add a whole new layer to his story. We can still expect all the things we love – those cases that are both funny and really make you think. Mark your calendars – the first episode drops on Apple TV+ on January 28, 2026, and then new ones will come out every week!
