Returning stars include Ian McElhinney, Sara Wiseman, and Aaron Pedersen. The eight episode season two sees Andie (Leah Purcell) drawn into a case far more dangerous and personal than she ever imagined. It will test her loyalties and challenge everything she thought she knew about herself, her community and the High Country she calls home.

Call My Agent! The Movie (Netflix)

Call My Agent! The Movie sees the French hit series return for a final reunion event. Set five years after the series finale, the film follows Andréa Martel (Camille Cottin), who has left the ruthless world of talent agencies behind to pursue her long-held dream of becoming a film director. Just days before shooting begins on her directorial debut, disaster strikes when her lead actor abruptly drops out. With her film on the brink of collapse, Andréa has no choice but to return to her past and reunite the former team of the ASK talent agency. What follows is a chaotic and heartfelt reunion filled with old rivalries, rekindled friendships, and the professional crises that once defined them. 

Last Seen (Apple TV, 6 episodes)

Police detective Ian Ridley’s (Patrick Brammall) life fell apart 11 years prior when his young daughter, Maggie, disappeared without a trace. Now working as a police dispatcher at a Triple O call centre, the only thing that has kept him going is his implacable refusal to accept that she might be gone forever. When he receives a distress call from a teenage girl he is certain is Maggie, he will stop at nothing to find her and reunite his broken family, whatever the cost. The series also stars Maxine Peake, Brendan Cowell, Daniel Henshall, Jessica Wren, Zahra Newman and newcomer Chloe Jean Lourdes.

Andrew and James also discuss the 2026 Emmy Awards and how many of the shows that featured on TV Gold in the past year were victorious.
