The Gentlemen season 2
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Netflix
Netflix's crime drama comedy returns with a brand new season. Created by Guy Ritchie and starring Theo James, the show follows James's Eddie, who inherits a luxurious family estate – then quickly discovers it's wrapped up in a cannabis empire. Season 2 picks up one year later, as Eddie and Susie (Kaya Scodelario) expand their criminal enterprise overseas under Susie's father and boss Bobby, who seems to be making some seriously questionable decisions.
The rest of the cast includes Daniel Ings, Giancarlo Esposito, and Vinnie Jones.
If you're already desperate for more, the good news is season 3 has already been confirmed. This looks like a Netflix original whose future you don't have to fear for, then.

Mayday
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Apple TV
Kenneth Branagh and Ryan Reynolds star in this Apple TV comedy about a US pilot who befriends an ex-KGB operative. The result is an odd couple comedy with Branagh taking on a surprisingly action-heavy role.
The film is directed by Game Night helmers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. "We're big fans of casting the greatest actors we can get, whether they're drama or comedy people, like Jesse Plemons in Game Night," Goldstein told us at SDCC. "We just ask them to commit to it like you would a drama, and it turns out to be hilarious. And Ken just brought so much great chops to the thing."
