Six-part limited series about life in a fictional Central European country under Kate Winslet’s dictator. Think Veep but more, er, European — and fewer laughs. Matthias Schoenaerts, Hugh Grant and Andre Riseborough co-star.

Update: Poor Things has been pulled from Disney+'s slate. Don't look at me: I'm just the messenger.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ Frankenstein-esque comedy starring Emma Stone (in an Oscar-nominated performance) as a woman brought back to life by a mad scientist (Willem Dafoe). Just one problem: he resurrected her using an infant’s brain.

The Gentlemen
Guy Ritchie adapts his 2019 gangster pic The Gentlemen into an eight-part series starring Theo James as an aristocrat who inherits his father’s country estate — as well as his ganja business. Also stars Kaya Scodelario, Vinnie Jones, Joely Richardson and Giancarlo Esposito.
