In case you hadn't noticed, it's been hotter than THE SUN every single day since the beginning of time (am I being dramatic? Maybe a touch, but whatever...). So why would you want to leave the house? Fresh air? Supplies? To make sure your leg muscles don't turn to mush. Maybe... but wouldn't you rather just stay in and watch a lovely TV show?

The latest show that we're really, really, REALLY excited about is The Innocents. The Netflix Original follows teenagers Harry and June as they run away from their repressive family lives to be together. During this time, they are thrown into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery that derails their innocent dream. Secrets kept from them by their respective parents test their love to breaking point; and the extraordinary gift they possess unleashes powerful forces intent on dividing them forever.

Woah. Sounds pretty great, right?

The 8-part series, which is due for release 24th August, stars Sorcha Groundsell (who has previously starred in Clique, Iona, Sleeping Lions) as June, Percelle Ascott (who has been in Wizard vs. Aliens ,The Weekend Movie) as Harry and Guy Pearce (who we all know from L.A. Confidential, Memento, The King’s Speech) as Halvorson.

Not sure who Halvorson is yet, but he sounds scary.
