Looking for something new to stream? We’ve picked out the latest must-see series and films, so you can spend less time searching and more time watching.

Lots of popular shows are back this week with fresh episodes. Season two of Disney+'s Rivals has returned from its summer hols, initially in sombre mood as the Rutshire set gather for a funeral. Don’t worry, though: before the day’s even over, the illicit fornication resumes and the rompingly good comedy drama featuring Alex Hassell is back on form.

Season 3 of Prime Video's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings: the Rings of Power has just kicked off, jumping five years ahead as war engulfs Middle-earth and Sauron sets about forging the One Ring. Morfydd Clark, Robert Aramayo and Charlie Vickers lead the cast.

On the same streamer, Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore return as estranged mother-and-son duo Julie and Edward in Prime Video's The Assassin. This time, Edward’s honeymoon takes a disastrous turn when his wife Kayla is kidnapped, forcing him to reunite with Julie and venture into Spain’s criminal underworld.

Netflix's complex espionage thriller Black Doves is back for a new series. Super-spy Helen (Keira Knightley) is now the Prime Minister’s wife – but there’s no calming of her trigger finger. Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire and Andrew Buchan all return, with Ambika Mod, Neve Campbell and Babou Ceesay among the new additions for season 2.

For the film fans among you, there's plenty to choose from. A five-star triumph from Lee Chang-dong, new Netflix release Possible Love is an intimate Korean drama following two very different married couples whose lives become intertwined, bringing class tensions, fractured relationships and hidden desires to the surface

Over on Prime, Stanley Tucci leads cheery heist flick Masterplan, playing a master thief who swans back into the lives of his estranged children and recruits them to help him steal the Mona Lisa. It's fun, tongue-in-cheek and just twisty enough to work - and Tucci gets to show off some cooking skills.

On the same streamer, Staines Massive rapper Ali G returns in new comedy Who Iz I? following the struggling artist’s attempt to crack America and become famous. With his girlfriend Julie (Morgana Robinson) eight months' pregnant, Ali is resistant to leaving the “chillin’, tokin’ and bonin’” life behind him. However, once arriving in the US, he finds himself at odds with new adversaries that make him question where his values lie...

Whether it's a sweeping period drama like My Brilliant Career, a tell-all football documentary such as Mourinho or a critically acclaimed comedy such as Ted Lasso, there's something here to suit everyone's taste.
