For the viewers looking to cool off in the summer heat, the new film Lee Cronin’s The Mummy offers chilling thrills. Meanwhile, the painfully timely new series Tip Toe, written by award-winning screenwriter Russell T Davies, follows neighbours whose relationship grows increasingly tense, with devastating consequences.** Details are subject to change. **TIP TOE** Now available on HBO Max From multi-BAFTA-winning writer Russell T Davies (Doctor Who, Queer As Folk, It’s A Sin), Tip Toe is a new five-part original drama starring Alan Cumming and David Morrissey. The series follows Leo and Clive, who have lived next door to each other in Manchester for almost 15 years. But just as life should be settling down, the world around them is growing more tense. Words become weapons, opinions become radicalised, and gradually, two neighbours become deadly enemies in a tense, suburban thriller which challenges everything we consider to be safe. The series, populated with a cast of vibrant characters and underscored with Davies’ trademark wit and deft humour, is an urgent tale that brings a spotlight to bear on the prejudices which are creeping back into our lives.  (5 x 50 min, new episodes weekly on Thursdays) ![](https://frontend-assets.clipsource.com/556324321da7c/dis-56caec1db9056/2026/06/30/6a43b473d60e9.jpeg) **LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY** Premieres 3 July The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace – eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy and Natalie Grace, with Veronica Falcón. The film is written and directed by Lee Cronin and produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville. The executive producers are Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher and Lee Cronin.

Stuart is aided in this quest by his girlfriend Denise (Lauren Lapkus), geologist friend Bert (Brian Posehn), and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie). Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from The Big Bang Theory. As the title implies, things don’t go well.
