NEW SHOWS YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS

The Death of Bunny Munro

This six-part Sky Original adaptation of Nick Cave’s novel, The Death of Bunny Munro, sees BAFTA and Emmy-nominated actor Matt Smith star in the titular role.

Following his wife Libby’s death by suicide, sex addicted door-to-door beauty salesman and self-professed lothario Bunny Munro (Matt Smith), finds himself saddled with his young son, Bunny Junior, and only a loose concept of parenting. As the two struggle to contain their grief in wildly different ways, Bunny takes Junior on the road for an increasingly out-of-control door-to-door sales tour around Brighton and the suburban towns of the Sussex Coast.

Bunny bounces from one sales pitch to the next, trying to seduce any woman he meets, while Junior kills time talking to the ghost of his mother and grappling with the dawning realisation that his dad isn’t just fallible, he’s a fucking mess. As Bunny starts to unravel, he realises he must do something to rescue his son from his own outdated notions of what it is to be a man; to save him from becoming another BunnyMunro.

Adapted from Nick Cave’s acclaimed novel, The Death of Bunny Munro is both a wild cautionary tale and a tender portrait of the relationship between father and son.

The Iris Affair

A sun-drenched chase thriller written, created and showrun by Neil Cross, the mastermind behind the acclaimed Golden Globe Award-winning series, Luther. Starring Niamh Algar (Mary & George, The Virtues) as Iris Nixon and Emmy-nominated Tom Hollander (The White Lotus, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans) as Cameron Beck, the eight-part series is directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and Sarah O’Gorman (A Gentleman in Moscow, The Witcher).

The Iris Affair is a tense and cinematic chase thriller that pits two brilliant minds against each other in a deadly game of hide and seek across Italy.

When enigmatic genius Iris Nixon (Algar) cracks a string of complex online puzzles, she’s led to a piazza in Florence where she meets charismatic entrepreneur Cameron Beck (Hollander). He invites her to come and work for him to unlock a powerful and top-secret piece of technology. Her curiosity piqued, she accepts. But when Iris discovers its dangerous potential, she steals the journal containing the device’s activation sequence—and vanishes.

What follows is a relentless pursuit, from a remote cabin in Sardinia through the bustling streets of Rome, as Cameron races to find Iris in a high-stakes game where trust is dangerous and failure could be catastrophic.

Starring Alfie Allen (SAS: Rogue Heroes, Game of Thrones), Shazad Latif (Star Trek: Discovery, What’s Love Got To Do With It) and Samira Wiley (The Handmaid’s Tale, Orange is the New Black), Atomic is an exhilarating action-adventure that throws two unlikely characters into the unexpected journey of a lifetime.

When the path of free-spirited drug smuggler Max (Alfie Allen) collides with JJ (Shazad Latif), an enigmatic outsider on the run, an unlikely friendship is formed. They’re swept into a chaotic, high-stakes mission they never signed up for— trafficking highly enriched uranium across North Africa and the Middle East, with the CIA, MI6, and a global web of opposing forces closing in fast.

Leading the charge for the CIA is a highly skilled scientist and a Non-Official Cover (NOC) officer, Cassie Elliott (Samira Wiley). Convinced Max and JJ are in league with violent extremists, her relentless pursuit puts them all on a collision course, revealing that nothing is what it seems, and everyone has an ulterior motive. The pair find themselves on a wild road trip, confronting covert operatives, an internationally funded cartel, and ultimately their own pasts. What starts as a bid for survival slowly becomes something more: a reluctant partnership, a shot at redemption, and one hell of a ride.

Who Killed Goldfinger? (w/t)

On June 24th, 2015, one of Britain’s most notorious criminals, John “Goldfinger” Palmer, was found dead in his Essex garden. While police originally believed he died of natural causes, they eventually confirmed the case was being treated as a professional hit.

Twenty-eight years earlier, Palmer had been acquitted for his part in the infamous Brink’s Mat robbery. He melted down millions worth of gold from the £26 million raid to sell on. He amassed a fortune so big that at one point he was ranked alongside the Queen in the Sunday Times Rich List. But he was finally jailed for timeshare fraud in 2001.

As the 10th anniversary of his unsolved murder approaches, this new series reexamines his life and death. Featuring exclusive testimony from some of Palmer’s closest associates and family members, speaking for the first time. Private investigations firm TMEye – fresh from reinvestigating the Essex Boys murder case, which assisted in launching the CCRC to review the convictions – will lead viewers on a hunt spanning multiple countries before finally unmasking their prime suspect.

Yogurt Shop Murders

In 1991, four teenage girls were brutally murdered at a frozen yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. What happened that night forever shook the Austin community. And continues to mystify the police and haunt the families left in the wake of unthinkable loss.

Including interviews with the investigative teams. The victims’ parents and siblings. And the two men who served time for the crime, the series explores law enforcement practices. It raises complex questions about press coverage and the power of suggestion on memory. The series offers a unique window into the lasting effects of grief and the enduring impact of unrelenting crime coverage in mainstream media through poignant interviews with those closest to the crime and investigation.

News coverage and archival video

Illustrated by a wealth of news coverage and archival video over the decades, with families and suspects. THE YOGURT SHOP MURDERS includes interrogation room footage and audio tapes from the four teenage boys who were brought in for questioning. All four were arrested, and when the police obtained confessions of rape and murder from two of the young men, they were indicted for murder in the first degree. With their written confessions leading to convictions. When new DNA evidence came to light, the two men were released on bond, having both served over nine years. The charges were eventually dropped. But the men still live in a state of presumed guilt by many despite no physical evidence tying them to the murder scene.

As they and the victims’ families continue to struggle with the ongoing trauma and the lack of resolution in the case, the series recognises the importance of storytelling to help in healing. And explores the fragility and the resilience of the mind in preserving memories, coping with loss, and remaining convinced of one’s own innocence.
