Meanwhile in the future, the G20 summit has been taken hostage by a group of terrorists called the Citizen’s Liberation Front. With Alex nearby, it is up to her to save as many lives as she can, but who can she trust? Priyanka Chopra stars alongside Jake McLaughlin and British star Russell Tovey.

Carters Get Rich
Sky 1 premiere a new family comedy this March. The show follows 11-year-old genius Harry Carter, who creates HONC – an app for geeky kids who can’t talk to girls. It quickly becomes the biggest thing in the social networking world and is snapped up by American billionaire Trent Zebriski for £10 million. The Carters are turned into overnight multi-millionaires. Their new found wealth is tricky for the family, so Trent employs his advisor Oliver to help them adapt to the sudden fame and fortune. James Van Der Beek stars as Trent, alongside newcomer Rio Chambers as Harry. It’s a comedy for all the family.
Love
Judd Apatow’s Love returns to Netflix on Fri 10 March for its second series. The story follows two very different characters, Mickey and Gus as the pair struggle with life, love and work. Season one followed the complicated romance between them as they cross paths at pivotal points in their lives. The second series shows Mickey and Gus facing commitment and all that comes with it as they attempt to bring order to their lives. The show is based in part on the show’s creators Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin but whilst they are now married, they say this does not guarantee a happy ending for their on-screen counterparts. Paul Rust stars as Gus alongside Gillian Jacobs as Mickey.
