Ian and Hannah review the biggest new films and bingeable shows on UK streaming services for the week beginning Friday 8th August 2025, including:

Falsely accused of treason, a young sailor is imprisoned without trial at a grim island fortress; after years of captivity, he finally escapes and plans to take revenge on those who have wrongly accused him. Available on U, it's the TV adaptation of Alexander Dumas' classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Sam Claflin and Jeremy Irons.

There's a new bone-chilling mystery at Nevermore Academy, as Jenna Ortega and an all-star cast return in season two of Netflix's Wednesday.

Hank and Peggy move back to Arlen and struggle to readjust to their old life, as showrunner Greg Daniels (The Office) revives classic animated comedy King of the Hill for a fourteenth season on Disney Plus.

Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne pick up where they left off, but things are more complicated than ever, as Platonic returns for a second season on Apple TV.
