Looking for your next TV series to fixate on? Here’s the latest pick of the bunch from free-to-air, Netflix, Foxtel and Stan.

Heathers (Stan, Sept. 28)

Based on the 1988 cult classic film of the same name starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, the pitch-black satire series set in the present day was first slated to air in March before being indefinitely shelved in the US in the wake of high-profile high school shootings. The darkly cynical series features suicides, teachers with guns and explosions — and original “Heather” Shannon Doherty in a recurring role.

Australian actor Scott Ryan first played Ray Shoesmith, a Melbourne hitman who is simultaneously ruthless and likeable, in The Magician, a 2005 mockumentary film which he also wrote and directed. For this six-part crime-comedy series, he revives the character, following Shoesmith as he juggles being a killer-for-hire with the demands of fatherhood, being a good mate and having a love life. “I couldn’t be more excited about sharing with the world more of Scott Ryan’s dangerously fun character,” says director Nash Edgerton.

Wanderlust (Netflix, Oct. 19)

The saucy series starring Toni Collette and Steven Mackintosh as a frustrated Manchester couple who open up their marriage to get out of a rut caused a stir when it aired in the UK in September. Metro suggested that the BBC had entered “new territory” with “their raciest and arguably most thought-provoking drama yet.” While claims that Collette portrayed BBC’s first onscreen female orgasm were later dismissed — apparently others had come before her — the taboo plot of the series still counts as peak TV. “To be a middle-aged woman, to be in a long-term relationship … it’s tough,” Collette told UK’s Radio Times. “Certainly, a middle-aged women’s sense of self-esteem, of sexuality, is not often talked about.”

Bodyguard (Netflix, Oct. 24)

From Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio, the hit six-part political thriller has become Britain’s most popular drama since Downton Abbey. Its tense finale drew the largest audience for a drama on British TV since a Christmas Day Dr Who special in 2008. The series tells the story of a volatile war veteran (Game of Thrones star Richard Madden) assigned to protect the Home Secretary (Keeley Hawes) whose hawkish politics run contrary to his own.

Jimmy Barnes Working Class Boy (Seven, Oct. 1)

The documentary, based on Barnsey’s best-selling biography, broke records with its small cinematic release with the biggest opening ever for an Australian doco. It hits the small screen days after the former Cold Chisel front man performs at the AFL Grand Final. Director Mark Joffe digs deep to discover how James Dixon Swan from Glasgow became an Aussie rock ‘n’ roll icon.

Making a Murderer Part 2 (Netflix, Oct. 19)  

In 2015, Making a Murderer was a sensation as filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos laid out the real-life story of Midwest American man Steven Avery, who served nearly two decades in prison after being wrongfully convicted of sexual assault and attempted murder. He was released in 2003 and exonerated, only to be convicted for the murder of Teresa Halbach in a different case two years later and sentenced to life in prison. Over ten episodes, season 2 introduces viewers to Kathleen Zellner, Avery’s post-conviction lawyer determined to prove her client was, once again, wrongly convicted.
