In a fantasy world where humans and creatures clash, Season Two of Carnival Row picks up with former inspector Rycroft Philostrate a.k.a. Philo (Orlando Bloom) investigating a series of gruesome murders stoking social tension.

The Estate

The Estate, Source: Apple TV+

Two sisters plot to win the inheritance of their cantankerous, terminally ill aunt, but find other relatives have equally devious designs on the family fortune. The whole family hates cranky, sickly Aunt Hilda (Kathleen Turner). And she loathes them right back.

What everyone loves, however, is dying Hilda’s alleged fortune. The woman’s cash-strapped nieces, ruthless Savanna (Anna Faris) and guilt-ridden Macey (Toni Collette), are banking on a little last-minute fawning and flattery in ensuring their aunt will change her will in their favour. Unfortunately, they’re not the only scheming relatives. A scurrilous farce that starts in bad taste and becomes increasingly perverse.

The Estate’s crack ensemble cast are clearly having a blast. Blending surreal non-sequiturs with sexual slapstick, British writer-director Dean Craig’s (Death at a Funeral) gleeful irreverence ensures that the family who preys together very much pays together.

The Estate stars Toni Collette, Anna Faris, David Duchovny, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston and Kathleen Turner.

Available to watch from Friday Febuary 3
