Season 3 welcomes Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd to the fray – we’re obsessed.

Fans of Star Wars will love this series spin-off of Ahsoka. Starring Rosario Dawson as the Jedi knight on a perilous quest, with Australian actor Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in supporting roles, this show looks like it will be a kickass watch for all – even those who are new to the galaxy far, far away.
4. Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion has a lot of potential to be your new obsession. For one, there’s the cast, which includes Marvel mainstay Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, as well as the phenomenal Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke, and Kingsley Ben-Adir. Watch as Fury discovers an invasion on Earth by a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls.
5. The World According to Jeff Goldblum
Follow the world’s favourite man Jeff Goldblum as he ‘explores the world’ covering topics people love. Each episode is centred around a different subject, from ice cream, to sneakers, where this delightfully insightful show unravels a world of astonishing connections which inspire and excite.

Loved Everything Everywhere All At Once? Let us introduce you to your new obsession. This series, adapted from the graphic novel of the same name, reunites cast members Michelle Yeoh, Ku Huy Quan, James Hong and Stephanie Hsu in this story of a teenager who befriends the son of a mythological Chinese god. It’s a coming-of-age story with a twist, a fantastic cast and great action from Shang Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton.

8. Ms. Marvel
This new and original addition to the Marvel Universe introduces us to Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City.
