It’s taken a while for this to get to the small screen, but it’ll be worth the wait. It’s about two grieving young men, Roman (Dylan O’Brien) and Dennis (James Sweeney), who meet in a support group for twins. They become friends outside the group, but it turns out that both men have secrets that could change everything… Heated Rivalry fans take note, one of the side characters in this is played by Francois Arnaud (aka Scott Hunter).

NOVK_2026_Static4x5_MainKA_1080x1350_EVRGRN_PV_FINAL_en-US_KAPS_5764260

If you’re a tennis fan, you’ll want to watch this feature-length documentary about the legendary Novak Djoković. He began playing in Serbia and is now the most accomplished champion in the history of men’s tennis. Though his career isn’t over, this documentary looks at his legacy as well as his status as one of the most “complex and polarising figures in modern athletics”. Should be a juicy watch.

Streaming on Prime Video.
