Antenna showers offer a distinct approach to simulating QCD radiation by organising the shower evolution around colour-connected pairs of partons rather than individual partons, leading to an accurate description of soft coherence effects. This talk will review the current landscape and future directions of antenna showers, with a focus on recent developments aimed at improving their precision and accuracy. In particular, I will discuss progress towards higher-logarithmic accuracy, carefully examining how formal next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy can be achieved in the antenna framework. The discussion will extend to address two general approaches to multiplicative matching of NLL-accurate antenna showers to next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations. I will round off by highlighting ongoing efforts to extend these matching schemes to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations, leveraging the close connection between antenna showers and the antenna subtraction framework.
