The Last Rhinos: A New Hope

Only two northern white rhinos remain on the planet — both female — and the race to save the species has never been more urgent. The Last Rhinos: A New Hope follows the international team attempting the impossible: creating the world’s first surrogate rhino pregnancy using southern white rhinos as stand-ins.

Through photographer Ami Vitale’s powerful lens, we witness the daily work of the caretakers who devote their lives to these gentle giants, and the scientists fighting extinction one embryo at a time. There’s no successful pregnancy yet, but this documentary makes it clear that hope, determination, and global awareness may be the rhinos’ last lifeline.

Downton Abbey Celebrates the Grand Finale

After six seasons and two feature films of romance, intrigue, and schemes, Downton Abbey has taken its final bow with Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. 
 
Before the curtain fell on Downton Abbey for good, the cast gathered at London’s iconic Savoy Hotel for one final toast to the Crawleys. This hour-long special revisits behind-the-scenes memories and looks at the franchise’s extraordinary impact on fans worldwide.

Packed with nostalgia and heart, it’s both a celebration and a goodbye — the perfect companion before diving into the climactic third and final film.

American Prince: JFK Jr.

CNN’s gripping three-part documentary traces the life of John F. Kennedy Jr., a man born into America’s most scrutinised political dynasty yet determined to forge his own identity. Through rare archival footage, personal interviews, and never-before-seen tapes, American Prince: JFK Jr. explores his journey from national icon to founder of George magazine, and examines his marriage to Carolyn Bessette that was both publicly scrutinised and privately guarded.

The series builds toward the heartbreaking plane crash that claimed their lives — offering not just a biography, but an intimate portrait of the pressure, privilege, and promise carried by a modern American prince.

The Thinking Game

AI is the one topic that no one seems to be able to hide from these days. Demis Hassabis, a former child chess prodigy, has been on the AI frontier for years, co-founding DeepMind, a research lab racing towards AGI (artificial general intelligence).

Filmed over five years, The Thinking Game takes us inside DeepMind as Hassabis and his team experience exhilarating breakthroughs like AlphaFold, the protein-folding model that rocked biology, and the tensions behind building a thinking machine. The Thinking Game doesn’t shy away from the big questions, such as what it means to create a mind.

Insightful, fast-paced, and surprisingly funny, it’s the story of humankind’s boldest experiment: creating intelligence itself.

Human

In this visually stunning five-part BBC Earth series, palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi brings us through 300,000 years of human evolution to ask a timeless question: why us?

The show unpacks how Homo sapiens outlasted six other human species that co-existed at one point. It mixes fossil evidence, ancient DNA, and dramatic reconstructions to show how migration, adaptation, and chance made us who we are.

Al-Shamahi’s infectious curiosity and charisma make Human as entertaining as it is enlightening, reminding us that the story of evolution is also the story of us. By the end, you’ll see your own place in that story in a new light.
