Walking with Dinosaurs (BBC Player, May 26)

Before Jurassic World Rebirth arrives in cinemas (July 3), whet your appetite with the reboot of the landmark 1999 docu-series. Drawing from new dig findings, palaeontologists (with a little help from VFX wizards) reimagine what life is like for the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. First ep centres on an orphan baby triceratops trying to outrun a T-Rex. Good luck, kiddo. The six-part series will also drop on BBC Earth (StarHub Ch 407, Singtel Ch 503) from June 1.

Captain America: Brave New World (Disney+, May 28)

One of the rare MCU efforts that’s more of a filler than thriller, Brave New World is one-third Captain America sequel, and two-third follow-up to The Incredible Hulk (the one with Edward Norton). Sam Wilson aka The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) picks up el capitan’s mantle, and stumbles upon a conspiracy involving The President of the United States (Harrison Ford).

Hacks, Season 4  (Max, May 30)

Season finale! Instead of firing Ava (Hannah Einbinder) over a controversial joke, Deborah (Jean Smart) chooses integrity over self-preservation and quits her own late-night talk show. Problem is, Deborah is still contractually bound to the studio: if she doesn’t return to do the show, she gets sued six ways to Sunday. How is Deborah going to navigate this legal mess? Be prepared for a little surprise.

And Just Like That…, Season 3, (Max, May 30)

Remember that five-year break Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) took in the Season 2 finale? Guess what? Aidan’s back sooner than expected — just in time to help Carrie move into her new apartment. Elsewhere, with Che (Sara Ramirez) is out of the picture, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is back in the dating pool; and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) runs into more parenting dilemmas. Sorry, no sign of Samantha (Kim Cattrall).
