Academy Dreams: Leeds United (Amazon Prime)
The one and only Vinnie Jones narrates this six-part fly on the wall look at life behind the scenes at Leeds United’s youth academy during the 2021-22 season.
Spending time with the young players at Leeds’ Thorp Arch academy, as they put everything on the line to make their mark during a dramatic season marred by injuries to the first team.
The series also focuses on graduates who made the big time, such as former Leeds star Kalvin Phillips and Joe Gelhardt.
Available to watch from Friday, 23 September.
Johnny vs Amber: The US Trial (Discovery+)
Remember earlier this year when your life was wall-to-wall coverage of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation case?
Yes, four months ago, you couldn’t turn on a TV, flick on a radio, or open a newspaper without being bombarded with the latest lurid revelations from the trial between the warring exes.
But if, for some reason, you feel like you’ve still not consumed enough Depp vs Heard drama, this new two-part documentary series goes back over the trial, looking at it from each side in turn.
Available to watch from Monday, 19 September.
Thai Cave Rescue (Netflix)
The 2018 rescue of a team of young footballers and their coach from a flooded cave in Thailand is one of those stories.
Following on from last year’s gripping documentary The Rescue, here comes a six-part drama based on the events that unfolded in the Tham Luang caves.
Filmed in Thailand – sometimes in the real homes of the boys – and starring the late Papangkorn Lerkchaleampote as Coach Eak, it’s truly riveting stuff.
Available to watch from Thursday, 22 September.
Andor (Disney+)
Ask fanatics which of the recent Star Wars films is their favourite and many will say 2016’s Rogue One.
Set just before the events of the original 1977 film and tells the story of a group of rebels on a highly dangerous mission to steal vital plans to the Death Star.
It was a dark and dramatic triumph and starred, among others, Diego Luna as rebel captain Cassian Andor – a maverick, conflicted and charismatic freedom fighter.
The success of Rogue One proved there was plenty more mileage in the character of Cassian, so Disney have wisely seen fit to give him his own series.
So, while the recent Star Wars TV spin-offs have been rather hit-and-miss, the force is definitely strong with Andor.
Available to watch from Wednesday, 21 September.
