There's a wealth of new and returning shows coming to our screens this week, with most streaming platforms and channels boasting a little something for everyone. Vince Vaughn leads the cast of Apple TV+ 's latest star-studded drama, Bad Monkey, about a police officer turned health inspector who stumbles across a grisly case in the Florida Keys. If you're looking for something a little more light-hearted, Emily in Paris returns once again with the first batch of season 4 episodes.
Also coming in to fill that easy-watch gap in our schedules is Pretty Little Liars: Summer School , which lands on BBC One and continues the fan-favourite franchise. Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey also star in Daddy Issues , which comes to BBC Three, and that's not to mention the hilarious (yet somewhat dark) Stags , which lands on Paramount Plus . For the true crime fans, there's Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story , which offers insight into how the real-life case was handled.
Netflix is also bringing us another surefire hit from Girl in the Picture 's Skye Borgman, this time with American Murder: Laci Peterson, which will, across three episodes, examine the disturbing case that gripped the US at the time. Elsewhere, Sam Neill is back for a second season of Australian-set drama The Twelve . To help you decide what to watch, check out our curated selection of top picks for this week.
