Scoop

Scoop is currently streaming in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 250 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Gillian Anderson sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Scoop keeps coming up in conversation. Scoop takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. Inspired by real events, this fictional dramatization gives an insider account of how the women of Newsnight secured Prince Andrew's infamous interview. Gillian Anderson and Billie Piper lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2024. Scoop resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Scoop. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Gillian Anderson carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.
