Get ready for a blockbuster week on streaming platforms as UK audiences are treated to an explosion of new and returning shows! Tom Hiddleston is back with a bang in his new Disney+ series 'Pompeii: Out of Time With Tom Hiddleston', where the dashing actor takes centre stage as he delves into the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. As an "amateur classicist", Hiddleston brings a passion to the project that's infectious, and his exploration of the ancient disaster is set to captivate viewers from start to finish.
Hiddleston's fascination with Pompeii began when he was just a teenager, and it's clear that this series has been years in the making. By focusing on the personal experiences of three Pompeii citizens as they face the devastating consequences of the eruption, Hiddleston promises to take viewers on an emotional rollercoaster ride through one of history's most tragic events.
But if ancient history isn't your thing, fear not! The second season of the gripping crime thriller 'The Crow Girl' is coming soon to Paramount+, and it looks set to keep you on the edge of your seat. With a new murder case to crack, DCI Jeanette Kilburn and her team are back with more twists and turns than ever before.
And if you're looking for some light relief, 'King of the Hill' is back with its 15th season on Disney+, bringing all the laughs and lovable characters that made us fall in love with the series in the first place. Hank and Peggy are navigating retirement, while Bobby is getting romantic – it's business as usual in Arlen!
Elsewhere, Netflix will be releasing 'A Toxic Love Story', a true-crime documentary that's equal parts shocking and fascinating, while Amazon Prime Video has got a treat in store with the reality series 'Young Farts Trailer Parts' featuring two bickering brothers running a recreational vehicle parts yard – it's chaos, but we love it!
