Gangs of London – Season two

Gangs of London tells the story of a city torn apart by the turbulent power struggles of its international gangs, and the sudden power vacuum that is created when the head of the capital’s most powerful crime family is assassinated. The exhilarating, bloody and nerve-shredding first series left viewers with plenty of questions as the map and soul of London’s criminal underworld was redrawn.

The surviving Wallaces are scattered, the Dumanis broken and estranged, and ex-undercover cop Elliot (Sope Dirisu) is being forced to work for the investors. And now there’s a new big bad for season two, as brutal enforcer Koba (Waleed Zuaiter) refuses to play by the same code as the rest of London’s gangs.

Wickensburg

When Celine (Denise Richards) and her young son move to the small town of Wickensburg, they soon discover the town harbors a dark secret. What follows becomes a race against time to save the locals from an evil industrialist, all while being aided by a mystical book and a strange girl who leads the boy on an amazing adventure.

KIDZ BOP Haunted Halloween

The KIDZ BOP Kids are on the ultimate Halloween adventure to find the perfect place to trick-or-treat in this spectacular 45-minute special. Full of kids’ favourite Halloween-themed pop tunes and dance routines, follow the Kids as they travel through the woods and stumble on an abandoned mansion and perform Halloween hits from their latest album.

Umma

Supernatural horror film Umma – the Korean word for mother – follows Amanda (Sandra Oh) and her daughter (Fivel Stewart) as they live a quiet life on an American farm. When the remains of her estranged mother arrive from Korea, Amanda becomes haunted by the fear of turning into her own Umma.

As Sony’s synopsis for the movie points out: “There is nothing scarier than becoming your mother”.
