A movie unlike any other you’ll see this year, Emilia Pérez is a crime thriller, comedy, journey of self-discovery and a musical, all rolled into one.

It tells the story of a fearsome Mexican drugs kingpin (Karla Sofía Gascón), who enlists lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) to help fake her own death in order to live as her true self.

An openly trans actor, Gascón’s performance is remarkable but the fact that the film’s four leads (Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz also star) jointly won best actress at Cannes confirms that this is an ensemble success.

It’s back. After a two-year wait, the epic western saga, which charts the trials and tribulations of the Dutton family and their much-prized Montana ranch, returns for the second half of its fifth season.

Expected to be the final batch of episodes, and with main star Kevin Costner absent after a contract dispute, fans would be forgiven for fearing the worst.

But with attention turning to Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), expect the usual mix of action, intrigue and power struggles over who has control of Yellowstone.

APPLE TV+

Bad Sisters - Available from Wednesday

Sharon Horgan rarely puts a foot wrong, and the first series of Bad Sisters, her black comedy murder mystery, was an award-winning treat.

So it’s good news those bad Garvey sisters are back, giving us the chance to catch up with Eva (Sharon), Grace (Anne-Marie Duff), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Bibi (Sarah Greene) and Becka (Eve Hewson).

Picking up two years after the death of Grace’s abusive husband, the sisters are trying to move on but when the past resurfaces, not to mention another dead body, the spotlight turns onto them again.

Also starring Fiona Shaw, expect more deliciously dark but funny drama.

Silo - Available from Friday

Who would have thought a drama about a community of people stuck in a mile deep silo would be so gripping?

But the first season of Silo was a huge hit, with fans, and tough engineer-turned-sheriff Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson), desperate to know what the world outside the silo was really like.

Anyone who’s not seen the first series, look away now because season two spoilers follow: having discovered the outside world is indeed desolate and dangerous, but that there are other silos, Juliette continues her mission to uncover the past and let the silo inhabitants know the truth.

Revealing the lengths people would go for their beliefs, it’s a powerful, poignant portrait of a divided people.
