Hulu has shared the trailer and key art for Shardlake, the new series based on the popular Tudor murder mystery novels by C.J. Sansom. The series premieres on Wednesday, May 1, on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ in select territories.
Drenched in mystery, suspense, and deception, this four-part drama, based on the first novel in C.J. Sansom’s book series, is an eerie whodunnit adventure set in 16th-century England during the dissolution of the monasteries.
Shardlake’s sheltered life as a lawyer is turned upside down when Cromwell instructs him to investigate the murder of one of his commissioners at a monastery in the remote town of Scarnsea. The commissioner was gathering evidence to close the monastery, and it is now imperative for Cromwell’s own political survival that Shardlake both solves the murder and closes the monastery.
He leaves Shardlake in no doubt...

It’s the battle of the TV Cromwells! On BBC One later this year, Mark Rylance returns in the role of Henry VIII’s right hand man in series two of Wolf Hall, adapted from Dame Hilary Mantel’s acclaimed novels. But before then, Sean Bean will play Thomas Cromwell in Disney+ British historical crime mystery Shardlake.
(Incidentally, if Bean wanted to dispel his reputation for playing characters who meet sticky, early ends, then his agent may want to get their head in a history book before forwarding the next script…)
Thomas Cromwell is a supporting role in Shardlake, a new four-part series adapted from the first in C.J Sansom’s successful mystery novels about Matthew Shardlake, a 16th century lawyer born with what would now be understood as scoliosis, and who investigates murder mysteries for the Crown.

It takes many people to fill Richard Osman’s shoes, and not just because he wears a size 14. Back in April 2021, the TV presenter, producer and novelist announced that he was leaving his co-presenter role on Pointless to focus on his hugely successful Thursday Murder Club book series and other projects. Due to the ‘stars we see in the night sky are actually hundreds of years in the past’ nature of TV broadcast, by that point, Osman was already four months out of the job. His final episode of the regular Pointless (he’ll still appear on the celebrity editions) was filmed in December 2021 and aired in July 2022, with this touching message to Alexander Armstrong.
When Pointless returned for Series 28 in September 2022, it came with a rotating clutch of new guest-hosts sitting behind Osman’s fact-checking desk. First up was Sally Lindsay, and following her were Stephen Mangan, Lauren Laverne,...

As if to get even with 2021, where not may productions of quality came out, also due to a reluctance from the industry’s side to release titles during the pandemic, Korean cinema seems to reclaim its position in the international stage in 2022, with a number of titles that definitely deserve a watch, to say the least. Even if there is no “Parasite” or “Burning” this year, “Decision to Leave” still emerges as something as close to a masterpiece as possible, while a number of other productions managed to stand out for a variety of reasons. The aforementioned was what “forced” to go a bit overboard regarding the number of movies in the list, jumping from 20 (and 15 last year) to 25.
In any case, here are the best South Korean films of 2022, in reverse order. Some films may have premiered in 2021, but since they mostly circulated in 2022, we decided to include them.

Following her excellent “For Vagina’s Sake”, Kim Bo-ram continues her exploration of womanhood, although through a rather different perspective, as this time she focuses on the relationship of a mother and a daughter, Park Sang-ok and Chae-young.
Table for Two is screening at Busan International Film Festival
In 2007, the then 15-year old Chae-young was diagnosed with anorexia and was committed to a mental hospital, where she stayed for more than a month. In the meantime, her mother, feeling guilty, started to examine more closely the whether it was her fault that her daughter ended up in such a state. Upon her exit from the hospital, the girl went the complete opposite direction, becoming bulimic. Now, ten years later, mother and daughter seem to be ready to have an honest discussion about their relationship, under the essentially invisible camera of Kim Bo-ram.

We chat to the cast of Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong’s university-set comedy drama, Fresh Meat, which returns tonight on Channel 4…
Fresh Meat’s characters have been doomed from day one. It’s right there in the title. Ushering in his new seminar group in the first episode, the studiously irreverent Professor Shales calls, “Send in the fresh meat for the grinder”.
It might be the line of a try-hard iconoclast (Shales’ next move is the classic shock-Doc act of binning their essays. Take that, convention), but the words tell a truth never far from Fresh Meat’s cringe comedy. That, as the hapless products of an industrial process that leaves them indebted and scrabbling for ever-distant opportunity, today’s graduates are being shafted.

The rumours have been rife, but now we have it 100% confirmed - Jenna Coleman is leaving Doctor Who, which means the hunt is on for her replacement.
Who's fit to follow in Clara's footsteps? 12 suggestions follow - from the silly to the serious.
Jenna Coleman will star as Queen Victoria in a major new ITV drama
1. Ingrid Oliver
Unit scientist Osgood - first name as yet undisclosed - is perhaps the natural choice to replace Clara.
Smart, plucky and with a taste for adventure, she's got all the qualities one looks for in a companion - and was already eyed as a potential by the Doctor before her untimely demise ("All of time and space - something for your bucket list.").
Now that she's apparently returned from the dead, perhaps Osgood could step aboard the Tardis in series nine - providing she's not a Zygon duplicate.

Sky1 has called time on its fast-paced medical series Critical.
Lennie James fronted the drama as the head of a major trauma unit, tasked with treating seriously-wounded patients.
Critical aired 13 episodes between February and May - pulling in a series average of 192,000 viewers - but will not be back for a second series.
"We are really proud of the acclaim Critical received and its ground-breaking achievements in the production of TV medical drama," Sky1 said in a statement. "We would like to thank Jed Mercurio, the team at Hat Trick Productions and all our cast."
The show was created by Line of Duty writer Jed Mercurio, with each episode unfolding in real time as Glen Boyle (James) and his team worked to save their latest patient.
Back in May, Kimberley Nixon - who played Dr Harry Bennett-Edwardes - told Digital Spy that there was "huge hope" for a second series of Critical.

Is Critical coming back to Sky1? Series star Kimberley Nixon has confirmed there's "huge hope" for a second series.
Nixon - who plays Harry Bennett-Edwardes on the medical drama - told Digital Spy that there has been "talk" of shooting more episodes in 2016.
"I'm not sure if it's coming back for a second series," she said. "I think there's definitely a huge hope for it.
"More than anything, the set cost a fortune - so there was talk of doing another series, mainly to get their money's worth, really!"
Nixon revealed that she'd like to see her "rookie" character become tougher and more ruthless if the show were to continue.
"In the first series, Harry's such a rookie - very much the nervous new girl," she said. "But we used to joke that by series 15, she'd be [like Lennie James's character] Glen Boyle. She'd be hardened - don't f**k with her!"

Anyone who watched the last series of Line of Duty on BBC One will know that Jed Mercurio knows how to write compelling drama, and now he's returning to the medical genre with Critical, a 13-part series set in the trauma unit of a London hospital.
Explaining the thought process behind the show, Mercurio says that he wanted to "push the boundaries" of the genre further than ever before. He enjoyed huge success with his previous attempts, Bodies and Cardiac Arrest, so what can he do this time that he hasn't already tried?
Within the opening two minutes, it's clear that Critical is a very different beast to Mercurio's previous work, and most other contemporary medical dramas. With the presence of a 24-style countdown clock, each episode takes place during a trauma patient's "golden hour" – when it really is a case of life or death.

All good things... as the saying goes. It's been confirmed today that Channel 4's university-set comedy series Fresh Meat will end at the conclusion of its fourth series, due to arrive later this year.
The show, which stars Zawe Ashton, Joe Thomas, Jack Whitehall, Charlotte Ritchie, Kimberley Nixon and - in series 3 - the brilliant Faye Marsay, arrived in 2011. Over three series so far, it's told the story of a bunch of Manchester freshers (and Howard) finding themselves against a messy backdrop of student life, ill-advised hook-ups and even more ill-advised soul patches.
Fresh Meat comes written by Peep Show's Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, who will also be waving goodbye to Mark and Jez after that show's ninth series airs later this year.

James said: "The chance to work with Jed again and to come home to be part of such an exciting and ballsy project was too good an opportunity to turn down."
Production on the show began in February, with the series set to air in 2015.

The girls of Fresh Meat have taken part in a new photoshoot or Company magazine.
Zawe Ashton, Kimberley Nixon and Charlotte Ritchie have swapped their usual student clothing from the Channel 4 comedy to vintage attire in the shoot.
The actresses also reminisced about their own school lives, with Ashton saying that she had a varied fashion style.
"As a student, I used to dress a bit crazy," she recalled. "I might have been a cheerleader one day and Snow White the next! I definitely don't dress like that anymore – I love shops like Cos now."
On the naughtiest thing she did at school, Ritchie said: "I secretly coloured around the outside of a pound coin with a pen then challenged my teacher to roll it down her face.
"She had a big line down her face for a good 10 minutes, until this girl told her.
"My teacher looked like she was going to cry.

Making its world debut out in Berlin back in the spring, Jadoo is just a few weeks away from arriving on our shores, and has its sights on becoming the best British-Asian comedy since Four Lions.
With its 6th September release date on our shores very much on the horizon, we’ve exclusively got the film’s new poster to share, which will hopefully be arriving on the Underground and in bus shelters soon.
Jadoo, in cinemas, 6th Sept, is a British-made film set in Leicester, and tells the story of two brothers, Raja (Harish Patel – Run Fatboy Run) and Jagi (Kulvinder Ghir – Bend it Like Beckham). Both wonderful chefs, who fall out so catastrophically that in the climax of their dispute they rip the family recipe book in half: one brother gets the starters and the other gets the main courses. They set up rival restaurants, on opposite sides...

Whitehall, who plays posh student Jp in the Channel 4 series, tweeted afterwards: "Served breakfast at newcastle uni great students loads of hangovers on show. Now off to Durham! #FreshMeatCR."
The Fresh Meat team's exploits will be chronicled on Twitter and on Facebook.

Hebburn has been recommissioned by BBC Two. The comedy series will return later this year for a new six-part series and a Christmas special. Created by writer/actor Jason Cook and loosely based on his own experiences, Hebburn stars Chris Ramsey as Jack, a lad from the North East who has secretly married his middle-class, Jewish girlfriend Sarah (Kimberley Nixon).

Offender
Stars: Joe Cole, English Frank, Kimberley Nixon, Shaun Dooley, Tyson Oba | Written by Paul Van Carter | Directed by Ron Scalpello
Offender would lay claim to be the first film set against the ‘burning backdrop’ of the London riots. That would a slightly tenuous claim to be made, however, as the riots are ultimately rather incidental to the film’s narrative. Our ‘hero’ is Tommy, played by Joe Cole (no, not that Joe Cole – though hopefully he’ll one day star in a film alongside Ben Foster (this one, not that one) and Tom Cruise (this one, not that one) in a film about English nearly men). Tommy is a builder who goes out with probation officer Elsie (Fresh Meat’s Kimberley Nixon) and is going to have a little baby with her. Unfortunately, Elsie runs foul of some unpleasant young men who have been a robbin’ and a murderin’ during the riots.
