What are 11-13 year olds into these days?

[sunnysummergray]

Hello!

I am a secondary teacher who has just moved to the UK from the US to be with my husband. I am planning a lesson and am trying to tailor it to the interests of my students, who I haven't met yet! What TV shows/ Books / Movies are your kids into at this age? From the short discussion I had with my new coworkers it seems quite different from my US students, so I am looking for ideas.

Thank you so much for any feedback!
