SEEN all there is to see on Netflix and co? Well, fear no more. The Sun has got you covered with the best new TV shows coming to your screens.
From the eagerly anticipated Bel-Air, to Steve Carell’s new series Space Force, there’s no shortage of shows to binge-watch until your heart’s content.
Space Force (Netflix)
2
Despite boasting the talents of Steve Carell, John Malkovich and Ben Schwartz, this sci-fi comedy about a new, stellar branch of the US military never took off.
Despite that, it’s back, looking as spectacular and special-effects-laden as last time but, hopefully, now armed with many more laughs.
There’s a new president in the White House, which means General Mark Naird and his team are under even great pressure to complete its mission of militarising space – or face being replaced.
Available to watch from Friday, February 18.
Bel-Air (Sky On Demand & NOW)
2
Now, this is a story all about how The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air got flipped upside down…
That’s right, the classic ’90s series has been given a 21st-century reboot, but don’t expect wall-to-wall wise-cracking and humorous culture clashes – or Will Smit – because Bel-Air is a different beast.
After getting himself in trouble with the law after a violent dust-up with a dangerous local gang leader, promising West Philadelphia student and basketball player Will is sent by his devoted mum to LA, to live with his wealthy and influential aunt Vivian and uncle Phillip.
Can he find a way to make the most of this second chance? And will he be accepted by the over-privileged inhabitants of opulent Bel-Air?
Available to watch from Monday, February 14.
Severance (Apple TV+)
Imagine being able to undergo a surgical procedure that separates your work-life memories from your home-life memories, so that when you’re at work, you have no idea what your life’s like outside the office.
But when you’re at home, you have no idea what you do at work.
That’s the intriguing set-up for this bleak and blackly funny nine-parter, directed by Ben Stiller.
Mark Scout leads a small team of workers at a shadowy company called Lumon Industries, all of whom have had this memory-dividing procedure, known as ‘severance’.
All appears to be going well until one day, someone appears in Mark’s life outside work to make him question whether severance was such a good idea after all.
Available to watch from Friday, February 18.

But who is the real Kanye West? And how did he reach such a level of fame and fortune?
This new three-part documentary tells his story, examining his difficult early years trying to break into the music scene, his relationship with his much-loved late mother Donda, the highs and lows of his headline-grabbing personal life and much more.
