Netflix and BBC are continuing the world of Peaky Blinders with a new series—and a new Duke Shelby. Jamie Bell’s taking over the role Barry Keoghan played in the Peaky Blinders film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) will also star in the new series set 10 years after the film. The cast also includes Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey), Lashana Lynch (The Day of the Jackal), and Lucy Karczewski (Stereophonic).

“I am thrilled that we are announcing a new era of Peaky Blinders, moving the story to post-war Birmingham in the early 50s,” stated creator and writer Steven Knight. “We are incredibly fortunate to have Jamie Bell taking the role of Tommy Shelby’s oldest son, Duke, and to have the incredible Charlie Heaton also leading the cast. There are more exciting cast announcements to come, and Peaky is on the road again.”

The series has already been greenlit for two six-episode seasons. 

“In this new era of Peaky Blinders, a decade after World War Two, the race to rebuild Birmingham becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and jeopardy. At its blood-soaked heart is Duke Shelby (Bell): older, wiser, more ambitious, and most certainly more dangerous.”

The new series is produced by Banijay UK’s Kudos (SAS Rogue Heroes, House of Guinness) and Garrison Drama (Peaky Blinders seasons 1-6, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man) for Netflix and the BBC. Filming will take place in and around Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham.

Netflix has snagged The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and given it a straight-to-series order. The limited series will star Meryl Streep, and the three-time Oscar winner will also serve as an executive producer.

Franzen is a National Book Award winner for his bestseller, which was published in 2001. Franzen’s adapting his novel, and Oscar winner  Cord Jefferson (American Fiction) is on board to direct. 

Streep will star as Enid. The other key characters—Alfred, Gary, Chip, and Denise—have not been cast. Netflix also hasn’t set a target premiere date. Streep, Jefferson, Mark Roybal (Mare of Easttown), Paul Lee (The Summer I Turned Pretty), and Nicole Clemens (Sexy Beast).

Netflix’s synopsis reads: “Starring Meryl Streep, The Corrections is a sharply comic portrait of a Midwestern family whose three unmoored adult siblings desperately resist their mother’s wish for one last Christmas together—each undone by the delusional ambitions that were supposed to save them from becoming their parents.

Franzen’s 2001 novel, a No. 1 New York Times bestseller, follows Enid, Alfred, and their children, Gary, Chip, and Denise, during a particularly tense holiday gathering. 

Gary might be clinically depressed. Chip lost his job and is struggling professionally. Denise is potentially caught up in an affair. Alfred’s struggling with dementia. Amidst all their pain and many forks in the road, Enid is determined to deliver the best—and potentially final—family Christmas.”

Apple TV offers this description of the new horror comedy:

“In Widow’s Bay something lurks beneath the surface. Mayor Tom Loftis (Rhys) is desperate to revive his struggling community. There’s no wifi, spotty cellular reception, and he must contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed. He wants these people to respect him. They don’t. They think he is soft and cowardly. And he is. But Loftis is determined to build a better future for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist destination.

Miraculously, he succeeds: tourists are finally coming. Unfortunately, the locals were right. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true start happening again.”

Emmy winner Hiro Murai directed five of the episodes, with the remaining episodes directed by Ti West, Sam Donovan, and Andrew DeYoung.

Fox’s Best Medicine finishes its first season with an episode that might … hopefully … reveal whether Martin will ever tell Louisa how he feels. Episode 13, “Norway No How,” will air on Tuesday, April 7, 2026 at 8pm ET/PT.

Also, Louisa receives some thought-provoking medical results and Al and Elaine must navigate their uncertain future.

Best Medicine Description, Courtesy of Fox:

The series follows Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, including schoolteacher Louisa Gavin (Spencer). He quickly alienates the town, even though he’s all they have.

Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he’s really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds, and fantasies. What the locals don’t know is that Martin’s terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Starz offers this description of Amadeus:

“When twenty-five-year-old Amadeus arrives in bustling 18th-century Vienna, no longer a child prodigy and craving creative freedom, his world collides with two pivotal figures: his fiercely loyal future wife, Constanze Weber, and devoutly religious court composer, Antonio Salieri. As Amadeus’ brilliance continues to flourish in spite of his personal demons, a questionable reputation, and skepticism from the conservative court, Salieri becomes increasingly tormented by this apparent divine gift.

Amadeus is a threat to all that he holds dear in life: his talent, his reputation, even his faith in God. Salieri vows to bring him down. What begins as professional rivalry turns into a deeply personal obsession spanning 30 years, culminating in a murder confession and a desperate attempt to entwine himself with Mozart’s legacy forever.”

Joe Barton (Black Doves) wrote the limited series and Julian Farino (Giri/Haji) and Alice Seabright (Sex Education) directed the period drama. Barton, Farino, Will Sharpe, Paul Bettany, John Griffin, Rupert Lord, Megan Spanjian, Paul Gilbert, Michael Jackson, and Stephen Wright serve as executive producers.

Amadeus is produced by Two Cities Television (part of STV Studios) in association with Sky Studios.

High Potential Season 2 Episode 17 Recap: Heists, Heartbreak, and a Shocking Kiss

High Potential Season 2 Episode 17 Recap
Kaitlin Olson in ‘High Potential’ season 2 (Disney/Christine Bartolucci)

ABC’s High Potential season two, episode 17 serves up robbers breaking into vaults, Morgan’s kids preparing for Mother’s Day, and Lucia and Karadec getting all hot and steamy. And that’s just in the episode’s first minute! If that’s not enough, next up is a shirtless Captain Nick Wagner finishing up jogging by kissing his adorable dog’s face.

(The following is a recap of season two, episode 17 – “Second Sunday” – and there are spoilers.)

The case of the week involves robberies at Canyon Gate Private Vaults. Wagner (Steve Howey) inserts himself in the case, for some unknown reason, and Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) describes the facility as a “storage closet for rich hoarders.” The robbers wiped the cameras so they’re useless. And the facility’s equipped with biometric access and redundant systems, but they were all bypassed.

The sole guard on duty was ex-SEAL Dean O’Connell and his ID was found, but he’s gone missing. There are assorted items from different vaults in the hallway, and lots of expensive items can be seen inside the open vaults. Morgan wonders why they left so much stuff behind and then shushes Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Wagner when she hears banging. It turns out the missing guard was beaten and locked inside a locker.

Dean reveals four robbers approached him from behind, hit him with a gun, and placed him into the locker. Dean didn’t see any of the robbers and doesn’t want to guess their heights or weights. However, one might have been chewing peppermint gum.

The business’s owner arrives and Morgan can’t help herself when he says not to touch a client’s box. She opens it and finds a hard drive, which the owner confirms was all that was inside vault 312 before the robbery. The owner describes the sensors inside the vault as being able to monitor the air temperature, air quality, and humidity. According to the sensors, vault 312 was the last one broken into.

Back at the station, Oz (Deniz Akdeniz) confirms a neighbor’s security cameras caught the robbers at 9:55pm. (They were wearing wolf, pig, mouse, and goat masks.) Vault 312 was rented by Alpheus Hodges, and Morgan’s the only one who recognizes the name of LA’s first mayor. Hodges has been dead 150 years.

Daphne (Javicia Leslie) reports the crew only stole a bottle of wine worth $90,000. Morgan walks the team through the timeline and points out vault 312’s temperature spiked and remained high until the time the robbers left. But it wasn’t the bodies that kept it warm; it was technology. They copied the hard drive and then left it behind.

A print on the hard drive belongs to Mitchell Huston and Karadec and Wagner head out to speak with him. Before they leave, Morgan asks Wagner why this case has him so worked up. He doesn’t reply.

Karadec and Wagner find Mitchell’s front door broken in and Mitchell dead from a bullet to the chest. He was an LA City Clerk and Morgan points out his apartment is a shrine to the City of Angels. But Morgan can’t figure out why he lives in a place like this yet can afford a private vault.

Daphne texts Karadec with an update that Morgan didn’t pay for the vault. He signed the contract, but the city of LA was paying for it. Wagner volunteers to speak with people at City Hall, which makes Morgan’s spidey senses tingle. After he leaves, Morgan tells Karadec that Wagner specifically asked dispatch to notify him if there were any major robberies. (She has a friend in dispatch.)

The team learns Mitchell was a top-level clerk and it’s likely he made enemies, including employees he had to fire.

Morgan sneaks a look around Wagner’s office. She finds files that reveal Wagner’s dealt with this crew before and nearly caught them in Oakland. His fiancée, Taylor Lawson (also an officer), was killed by the crew, so this is personal. Wagner doesn’t want to tell the team, but Morgan assures him letting them know everything he knows is how they’ll catch these guys.

LA’s mayor arrives and shuts down the team’s IT guy’s attempts to access the hard drive. He won’t say what’s on it but reveals they trusted Mitchell to keep City Hall safe from terrorist threats. Two threats in 2025 came from inside City Hall and that’s why they kept the hard drive in an outside vault. Morgan reminds the mayor that someone already made a copy of it, and wonders if there’s compromising material about him on the hard drive.

Wagner threatens to make this investigation public and the mayor reluctantly offers to allow him to look at the hard drive. Wagner agrees but only if Morgan looks at it too. The mayor calls the hard drive the city’s last resort brain and admits he doesn’t even know everything that’s on it. It’s how the city comes back online if LA goes dark. Whoever stole it can cripple the city and create panic.

Morgan is given the chance to look through all the data and confirms the thieves can shut down the power grid, poison the water, and scramble air traffic. Wagner thinks they’re going to rob the city, not destroy it. Oz rushes in with a list of 32 employees Mitchell fired, and Wagner orders them to start digging into each of them immediately.

Lt. Selena Soto (Judy Reyes) informs Karadec that Willa got to the chief and they’ve been told to stop tailing her. Selena confirms they’re not the ones tailing her and suggests it’s the FBI.

Morgan realizes Lyle couldn’t get into the hard drive, which means the crew needed a hacker on the inside. The fired list includes Colton Palmisano, a good hacker who was fired for speaking out against city hall.

Wagner, Karadec, and Morgan visit Colton and he claims he got fired from IT at city hall for “caring too loudly.” He liked Mitchell and seems genuinely surprised he was murdered. Colton confesses he worked with the robbers because they assured him the hard drive would be used to force change. Morgan thinks he’s too smart not to have insurance against going to prison, and Colton confesses he put a tracker on the burner phone the robbers used.

He pulls up the location and SWAT rushes there, along with Karadec, Oz, and Wagner. An officer steps on an IED and it explodes, giving the robbers a chance to escape. One points directly at Wagner and mimics shooting him.

Morgan joins the team in the warehouse and wonders what the robbers were doing there. It looks like they set up a maze, and Wagner thinks that they were rehearsing.

Back at the station, Morgan looks at a La Bodega Market receipt collected at the warehouse. Why did they stop to shop six miles from their hide-out? Morgan thinks there’s something she’s missing, and it bothers her. Karadec suggests they leave it until tomorrow, but of course Morgan’s going to take some of the evidence home.

Wagner’s still at the scene and Morgan heads there too before going home. He’s upstairs looking down at the robbers’ practice maze, drinking the evidence. Wagner’s upset he was so close to the man who killed his fiancée and he takes it out on Morgan. She says she’s sorry his fiancée died and confesses sometimes she wishes Roman died too.

Morgan grabs the bottle and orders Wagner to get in her car. Morgan drives him home and he immediately greets his bulldog, Ingrid. Morgan gives Ingrid some attention too, and then Wagner stares at framed photos of his fiancée, Taylor. He reveals he was shot three times during the robbery but they all missed vital organs. Taylor was shot in her femoral artery and bled out in his arms.

Morgan helps him up and Wagner is ready to kiss her, but she turns and leaves.

Morgan lays in bed and goes over the evidence in her head. She visualizes the warehouse and suddenly figures it out. The following morning, she tells the team it’s not a maze; the robbers created a map that resembles what she saw on the hard drive. The map is of outdated tunnels under the city. Some of the tunnels are still accessible, and whatever the robbers are after they can get via the tunnels without anyone knowing.

Suddenly, alarms go off and the city is under a cyberattack. Soto sends officers to the port, the department of water and power, and the reservoir. Wagner arrives with news that the mayor pulled them from the case because he wants his own task force. He’s going to ignore the order and keep the team on the investigation.

Morgan takes a minute to answer a call from Lido and the kids, and they’re excited to tell her they’re going indoor camping for Mother’s Day. Lido mentions the credit card machines were down in the flower district and Morgan ties together the clues. The robbers are after a lot of cash that they’ll get in three locations: the flower, diamond, and fashion districts downtown. Together they’ll do $18+ million in business because of Mother’s Day.

If they take down the credit card machines, people will have to pay in cash. The stores will be sending excess cash into pneumatic tubes that go underground and into collection sites where they remain until an armored car picks them up. One of the collection sites is directly under the Mexican market on the receipt Morgan was confused about earlier.

Every other alert is just a distraction from this heist.

The robbers are emptying each tube as it lands just as the team enters the market. The team heads into the basement and Morgan convinces Karadec to let her go too, since she’s the only one who knows the tunnels.

They’re close when a sensor the robbers set up alerts the robbers they have company. A shootout ensues before the robbers make a run for it. Karadec’s able to knock one out, and Oz and Daphne disarm and cuff another. A robber finds Morgan attempting to hide and is about to shoot her when Wagner saves her life and shoots him. Wagner calls in for backup and EMTs as Karadec confirms two others are in custody. That leaves one, and Morgan thinks he’s making his way to the south exit. She knows that exit’s closed and thinks they can cut him off.

Wagner lets Morgan show him the way, and they spot the robber with a bag of cash. He opens fire and bullets fly until the robber needs to reload. Wagner orders him to kick over his weapon and is distracted when he notices the handle matches the gun that killed his fiancée. The robber attacks Wagner but Wagner’s got rage and adrenaline on his side. He keeps punching the robber longer than he needs to and doesn’t stop until Morgan says it’s not what Taylor would want. Karadec takes over the arrest.

Later, Morgan’s getting ready to leave work when Karadec tells her she did amazing and he’s glad she’s all right. Lucia rushes in and breaks up their private moment, pulling Karadec in for a hug, relieved that he’s okay.

Morgan makes it to the restroom before allowing herself to break down.

Soto grabs Karadec for a minute and informs him Hayworth is dead. They’re saying it was a suicide but neither believes it. Soto also received photos from their surveillance of Willa that show her meeting with Nick Wagner Sr. Now they need to try and figure out if Captain Wagner is involved with the Roman case for the right reasons.

Morgan steps into the elevator and Nick’s already there. She asks if he’s okay and they kiss. After they pull away, Nick assures her he’s okay. He says goodnight and leaves.

Morgan celebrates Mother’s Day with Lido and the kids in the campsite set up in her living room. They cook smores, take photos, and make memories.
