The big one. The uberviolent South Korean juggernaut – still Netflix’s most popular show ever – reaches the end point … and Player 456 is still in the game. What will happen after the armed rebellion? Will he figure out he’s playing alongside Frontman? And will he make it out alive? The show’s creator Hwang Dong-hyuk opened up about the denouement this week, telling fans it’s bleaker than ever. Apparently after watching, we’ll be left shaking and asking ourselves: “How much humanity do I have left in me?” One thing’s for sure: there’ll be no let-up. Expect gore galore.

The one Lena Dunham fans have been waiting for. Eight years after the end of Girls, she makes a welcome return to television. The ever-excellent Megan Stalter – AKA the hilariously ditzy agent Kayla in Hacks – plays Jess, an American ad executive who is obsessed with classic British love stories. When her deadbeat boyfriend leaves her for an influencer who makes lipgloss – “no one is fucking an influencer in the works of Jane Austen!” – she decides to take her broken heart to London in “the Kingdom of United” and start over. When she arrives, she’s devastated to discover that her new “estate” isn’t quite the verdant paradise she dreamed it would be. Promptly, of course, Jess meets her very own Mr Darcy – indie rocker Felix.
