Gossip Girl meets Boarders – with a splash of gore – in this dark private school from BAFTA award-winning writer Nicole Leckey. The film revolves around two wealthy schoolgirls in Richford Lake, Grace (Imogen Ferris) and Allegra (Amelia May), who are suspended by teachers for sharing a shocking video among the students. But when their mothers, Juliette (Eve Best) and Lorna (Carmen Ejogo), come over, it’s clear there’s drama at home, too. Holly Richardson

Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalkp4pm, ITV1

Carrie Fisher’s untimely death before shooting means that the final installment of JJ Abrams’ trilogy loses the Leia-directed focus that would have neatly tied the series together (the following episodes seven and eight rely on Han and Luke). So the love-hate relationship between the new Jedi Rey (Daisy Ridley) and bad boy Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) will have to bear the brunt amid all the planet-hopping missions and CGI wonders. And you’re better off not wondering how former Emperor Palpatine will return — just enjoy another villainous appearance from Ian McDiarmid. Southwest
