Fly on the wall? Pah! The wall is all the way over there! These days, viewers want to be flies buzzing right around the noses of the people making the headlines, close enough to tell what they had for breakfast. And thanks to true story TV dramas, they can.
It’s been a long time since ropey Lifetime Movies were as good as it got for true story TV. In recent years, British production companies have stepped up in a big way to serve a growing appetite for fact-based drama, but all too often the real-life TV dramas of today focus on haunting tales of history’s most gruesome murders. If you’re sick of serial killers, there are plenty of non-murder true stories to enjoy in drama form, from very public scandals to ordinary people doing extraordinary things, to the kinds of tragedies it’s important that we never forget.

If you've been craving more supernatural dramas since "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" ended, Netflix's series "Fate: The Winx Saga" is here to satisfy your binge-watching needs. The first season premiered on Jan. 22, 2021, and it's filled with tons of drama, magic, and mystery. On Feb. 18, 2021, Netflix confirmed that the series had been renewed for a second season, which will consist of eight episodes. The streamer released the official trailer on Aug. 23, and it foreshadows a dramatic follow-up to the first season's intense conclusion.
The series is based on the animated series "Winx Club," which ran for eight seasons, so there is plenty of source material for the upcoming season. While the Netflix series faced criticism for its live-action adaptation, particularly the whitewashing of some of the main fairies, the intriguing plot certainly drew audiences in.
"Diversity both in front of and behind the camera is vital and much-needed throughout the industry and internationally.

Martin Freeman is no stranger to playing a detective: One of his best-known TV roles, after all, is as Watson in “Sherlock.” Now, Freeman stars in the true crime series “A Confession,” premiering May 12 on Britbox.
However, “A Confession” diverges from Freeman’s norm as it portrays a real-life story; specifically that of Steve Fulcher, a detective who in trying to catch a woman’s killer, triggered the downfall of his own career. Freeman and director Paul Andrew Williams joined Variety senior editor Michael Schneider in the Variety Streaming Room presented by Britbox to discuss the real Fulcher’s visit to set, handling tough scenes and what makes “A Confession” different from other British crime dramas.
Freeman was initially attracted to the project because of Williams – the two worked together previously on 2015 film “The Eichmann Show” – as well as the heartbreaking good intentions behind Fulcher’s motivation to solve the case.
