Oscar Isaac plays the brilliant but tortured scientist Victor Frankenstein, who embarks on an ego-driven quest to bring new life into this world, resulting in the Creature, whose very existence provokes questions about what it means to be a human and what it really means to be a monster. The cast also features Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz and Felix Kammerer. It will release on November 7.

The second season follows Ruby Bell and James Beaufort as they navigate the emotional fallout of heartbreak, ambition, and class conflict in the aftermath of Season 1’s explosive finale.

Baramulla
Streaming Partner: Netflix
In the mist-covered valleys of Kashmir, children begin to disappear, and DSP Ridwaan Shafi Sayyid (Manav Kaul) is called to Baramulla to investigate. Ridwaan finds himself navigating a case entangled in the valley’s socio-political unrest and long-buried secrets. As he settles in the town with his wife, Gulnaar (Bhasha Sumbli), and their children, Noorie (Arista Mehta) and Ayaan (Rohaan Singh), strange occurrences begin to unfold at home. Gulnaar senses an eerie presence, one that the children can feel too, from smelling a non-existent dog to hearing creaky footsteps in the middle of the night. While Ridwaan dismisses their fears as nonsense, each conversation draws him closer to something he cannot explain. Baramulla is directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, who has co-written it with Aditya Dhar. It will release on November 7.
The Hack
Streaming Partner: Lionsgate Play
‘The Hack’ interweaves two real-life stories: the work of investigative journalist Nick Davies (David Tennant), who uncovered evidence of phone hacking at News of the World; and running parallel, the story of the investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan, led by former Met Police Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Cook (Robert Carlyle). A gripping drama that dives into the shadows of media power, where ambition collides with ethics through sharp storytelling and rich performances. The Hack is a compelling look at the price of truth in a digital age.
Death by Lighting
Streaming Partner: Netflix
Based on Candice Millard’s 2011 novel Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President, the limited series chronicles the extraordinary life and death of 20th US president James Garfield (Michael Shannon). It is based on the epic and stranger-than-fiction true story of Garfield and Charles Guiteau (Matthew Macfadyen) — a man who was not only Garfield’s greatest admirer but also his assassin.
