When the latest project from multiple Oscar nominees Peter Morgan (The Queen) and Stephen Daldry (The Reader) reaches audiences in November, it won’t be in cinemas.

Morgan has created and written The Crown, an extended biopic on the life of Queen Elizabeth II. Daldry is the executive producer and has directed an episode of the show. The series begins with Elizabeth’s marriage in 1947 and aims to recount the story of her life until the present day.

The streaming giant bought exclusive global rights to the first series of Marcella back in April, they will make the second available internationally in 2017 after ITV have broadcast the episodes here in the UK.

Pulling in an average audience of 6.8 million, series one of Marcella follows the investigation of troubled detective sergeant Marcella Backland into a serial murder case. Having returned to the force after her husband left her, she herself becomes a suspect in the case down to her violent anger-induced blackouts.

Exodus: Our Journey to Europe

BBC Two

9pm

This three-part documentary series offers a unique insight into the intense and dangerous journeys made by migrants at the peak of the 2015 refugee crisis.

Migrants who were fleeing war, poverty or political upheaval were given camera phones to capture their journey to the relative safety of European shores.

They filmed where regular TV crews could not: on inflatable dinghies bobbing across the Mediterranean or in the backs of trucks as they were smuggled across the Sahara.

Trollhunters follows the adventures of Jim, voiced by Yelchin (Star Trek Into Darkness), a teenaged boy who discovers an ongoing battle of good and evil trolls deep beneath the streets of his hometown of Arcadia.

X-Men actor Kelsey Grammer plays Blinky, a kind-hearted troll who befriends Yelchin's character, while Perlman takes on the role of Bular, a soldier of the evil troll army. 

Carol Thompson, 26, spends her day battling to get the attention of a classroom of small children. She gets up at 6:15am, runs to work, starts preparing for meetings and adds her finishing touches to lesson plans. At 9:00pm she relaxes on the sofa. Watching the news is the last thing on her mind.

“I generally watch television that I have recorded, rather than watching anything live or simply watching things because they happen to be on,” explains Thompson, whose viewing choices tend towards All 4, iPlayer, ITV Hub and Sky Go.

Catch these gems before they disappear.

Grace and Frankie

The slick, silver-haired comedy from Friends creator Martha Kauffman is back for a second season.

Straight-laced Grace and free spirit Frankie are both happily married women when their husbands, Robert and Sol, announce that they are leaving them – for each other.

Speaking during a self-published video of their investor call, Netflix CEO and co-founder Reed Hastings began: "There are so many competitors and everyone is working hard to build the best content. We're seeing growth in the overall internet TV market."

When pressed if there were any plans to purchase an existing film company in order to produce content more easily, chief content officer Ted Sarandos confirmed: "we're building it versus buying it [...] not just in our films, but in several of our series Netflix is the studio and the network."
