The 2026 FIFA World Cup may have started and subsequently played havoc with the schedules on BBC and ITV, but there’s still plenty of quality TV shows airing elsewhere this week. <\/p>\n

Over the course of the next few days, we have a brand-new crime thriller from Netflix<\/a> based on the works of Harlan Coben, the return of a popular detective drama on Apple TV<\/a> and an international offering.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, we have the conclusion to a twisty comedy-horror as well as offerings from both Channel 4 and 5. So, without further ado, here are SIX shows that you should keep your eye out for this week!<\/p>\n

Little Disasters\"diane<\/p>\n

Paramount+<\/p>\n

This thriller, based on Sarah Vaughan’s bestselling 2020 novel of the same name, actually premiered last year on Paramount+, but makes its debut on terrestrial TV tonight when the first of its six instalments airs on 5 tonight.<\/p>\n

The series<\/a> focuses on the decade-long friendship between four friends, who initially met when they were expecting babies. The dynamic changes, however, when the child of Jess (Diane Kruger) suffers an inexplicable head injury.<\/p>\n

Jess takes her child to friend Liz (Jo Joyner), a doctor working in an A&E department. With Jess unable to explain how her baby was injured, Liz faces the excruciating decision of calling social services, potentially rupturing the friendship in the process.<\/p>\n

Featuring Emily Taafe and Shelley Conn in supporting roles, the first episode is followed by further instalments on Monday and Tuesday (15 and 16 June), with the remaining three parts airing on the same days next week.<\/p>\n

Little Disasters airs tonight at 9pm on 5.<\/p>\n

The Light in the Hall: Still Waters\"sian<\/p>\n

S4C\/Channel 4<\/p>\n

The Welsh crime drama<\/a> returns on Tuesday (16 June) with its second season, which is subtitled Still Waters. We have a new set of characters this time round, with journalist Caryl Huws (Si\u00e2n Reese-Williams) arriving in the town of Llanemlyn.<\/p>\n

She is particularly interested in a “controversial” redevelopment plan regarding the local reservoir, which is said to reignite “old tensions” within the community. Very soon, Caryl is entangled in a web of “personal betrayal, familial secrets and dark mysteries”.<\/p>\n

At the same time, a story from the 1990s is told, with a figure being jailed for the killing of his activist cousin. This thread feeds into Caryl’s investigation, but it remains to be seen how the two strands connect.<\/p>\n

Joining Reese-Williams in the cast are Mark Lewis Jones, Nia Roberts, Robert Glenister, Tom Rhys Harries and Maeve Courtier-Lilley, with the season premiere being followed by another instalment the following night.<\/p>\n

The Light in the Hall: Still Waters premieres on Tuesday at 9pm on Channel 4.<\/p>\n

Widow’s Bay\"matthew<\/p>\n

Apple TV<\/p>\n

The comedy-horror series has gripped viewers since it premiered on Apple TV in April, but the first chapter is set to come to a close on Wednesday (17 June) as the 10th and final episode drops.<\/p>\n

The series, which is created by Kate Dippold, sees Matthew Rhys portray Tom Loftis, the mayor of the titular town. In a bid to boost tourism in the area, he devises a scheme to bring people in, but must navigate some strange occurrences on the way.<\/p>\n

The comedy-horror has been acclaimed for its performances, production values and blending of various genres, and already has a secure future after Apple TV greenlit a second season earlier this month<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Widow’s Bay airs on Apple TV, with the final episode of the first season dropping on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

I Will Find You\"britt<\/p>\n

Netflix<\/p>\n

I Will Find You is the latest collaboration – the 13th in total (let’s hope it’s a lucky one!) – between Netflix and Harlan Coben, with the thriller series<\/a> being based on the author’s 2023 novel of the same name.<\/p>\n

At the centre is David Burroughs (Sam Worthington), a wrongfully imprisoned man serving time behind bars for the murder of his son. The plot thickens, however, when he receives information that his son may be alive.<\/p>\n

Featuring Britt Lower and Milo Ventimiglia in supporting roles, you can expect plenty of twists and turns from the gritty eight-part series<\/a> when it hits the streamer in full on Thursday (18 June).<\/p>\n

I Will Find You streams on Netflix from Thursday.<\/p>\n

Oasis
\"oasis\"<\/p>\n

Manuel Fernandez-Valdes\/\/Netflix<\/p>\n

A change of scenery here for this Spanish-language series, which takes place in a luxurious holiday resort that is solely reserved for the wealthiest members of society as they seek paradise.<\/p>\n

For one group, however, the dream turns into a nightmare as the police storm the facility following a mysterious disappearance. With nobody being allowed to leave before the investigation is complete, everybody is a suspect.<\/p>\n

“Summer, sunshine, the beach, parties. The place where you’d want to stay forever\u2026 until everything disappears,” reads the logline for the Netflix series, which has already drawn comparisons to The White Lotus. <\/p>\n

Oasis streams on Netflix from Friday.<\/p>\n

Sugar\"colin<\/p>\n

Apple TV<\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, we have the return of Apple TV’s neo-noir detective drama<\/a>, which sees Colin Farrell reprise his role as the titular private investigator for another case in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

This time around, John Sugar is tasked with tracking down the troubled older brother of a local boxer, with the case having ramifications across the whole city. A conspiracy is uncovered, with the detective having to go to some lengths to solve the mystery.<\/p>\n

Farrell, who also serves as an executive producer, is joined by several new cast members, with Jin Ha, Raymond Lee, Tony Dalton, Laura Donnelly, Sasha Calle and Shea Whigham all having supporting roles.<\/p>\n

Sugar season 2 premieres on Apple TV on Friday.<\/p>\n
