Genre Thriller

Kill Jackie

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a retired cocaine queenpin hunted by the Seven Demons, an elite hit squad, who decides the better plan is to kill all seven. Premiered October 2, 2026: Prime Video in Canada, AMC+ in the US.

The Night Agent

Shawn Ryan's adaptation of Matthew Quirk's novel became Netflix's surprise smash of 2023, and the reason is simple: it is a straight ahead, professionally built conspiracy thriller with no self importance and no dead weight. Gabriel Basso plays Peter Sutherland, a low level FBI agent stuck monitoring an emergency phone line that never rings, until it rings, and he is suddenly protecting Rose Larkin, a tech CEO played by Luciane Buchanan, while uncovering a mole hunt that reaches the White House. Ten episodes, one escalating night of it, and a full second season set in Bangkok.

Furious

Elizabeth Meriwether, the creator of New Girl and the devastating Dying for Sex, takes an odd swerve into serial killer territory with this eight episode series loosely inspired by the 1987 thriller Black Widow. Emmy Rossum plays Alice Black, an FBI agent hunting a calculating female serial killer, played with icy charisma by Lola Petticrew, and the show's central gambit is structural: it tells the story from both sides, giving the killer's backstory and reasoning nearly equal weight, until the pursuit starts to look like a twisted courtship.

American Hostage

Jon Hamm finally gets the role his Mad Men gravitas has been circling: Fred Heckman, a beloved Indianapolis radio reporter who ends up on the wrong end of his own microphone when an armed man, Tony Kiritsis, takes him hostage live on air in 1977. Based on the scripted podcast and the real case, the eight episode MGM+ series turns a three day standoff into a period piece about media saturation, police incompetence, and a kidnapper who understood television better than the people covering him.

Dark Matter

The Apple TV+ sci-fi hit based on Blake Crouch’s novel. A physicist is knocked out one night and wakes up in a life that is not his: same city, same wife, but the choices went differently. The multiverse concept is…

Neagley

The Early Word: Frances Neagley finally gets her own show. Maria Sten’s ex military investigator was always the fan favorite part of Reacher, the competent, coffee-averse fixer who could carry a season on her own, and Prime Video agreed: this…

The Old Man

Jeff Bridges as a former CIA operative living off the grid whose past comes calling, and the chase drama is elevated by the best veteran ensemble on TV: Bridges, John Lithgow as his pursuer, and Alia Shawkat as the agent…
