The Flash – Season nine

DC’s Scarlet Speedster is back for a ninth and final season. After the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator explosion, a dark matter lightning storm strikes Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), bestowing him with super-human speed.

For now, only a few close friends know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns that Barry Allen has become The Flash. Barry’s adventures will soon come to a dramatic conclusion and wrap up the Arrowverse.

The Flash Season nine is streaming weekly on Sky Max with Now.

Succession – Season four

In the hotly anticipated fourth and final season of this hit comedy-drama, the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) moves ever closer. The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is completed.

A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.

Succession season four is streaming weekly on Sky Atlantic with Now.

Minions: The Rise of Gru

Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Steve Carell) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. When infamous supervillain group the Vicious 6 ousts their leader, Gru attempts to join their ranks but soon finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil.

With Gru on the run, the Minions attempt to learn martial arts to help save him, and Gru discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.

Minions: The Rise of Gru is streaming on Sky Cinema with Now from Friday, March 31.
