SkyShowtime revealed a selection of new and exclusive titles arriving on the streaming service this year and beyond. As part of an expanding slate of series created by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan available on the service, SkyShowtime have confirmed that the Yellowstone sequel, "The Madison" – starring three-time Oscar nominee, Golden Globe Award winner and Emmy nominee Michelle Pfeiffer will be the next series to rollout from the Yellowstone universe. Season two of the acclaimed prequel, "1923" - starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren - will also become available to members. The series follows the Duttons as they face a new set of challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of Western expansion, "Prohibition, and the Great Depression". Additionally, viewers can look forward to the arrival of "Yellowstone 150", a new documentary with Kevin Costner who explores Yellowstone National Park and investigates the events that led to its preservation.
Other season favourites include "Yellowjackets (S3)", which follows a wildly talented girls’ high school soccer team who become the unlucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Canadian wilderness. "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (S3)" will also return to the service, a series based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Exclusive series coming to SkyShowtime include "The Agency", a 10-part political thriller starring two-time Academy Award nominee Michael Fassbender and executive produced by George Clooney. Based off the hit French drama Le Bureau des Légendes, the series follows Martian, a covert CIA agent, ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to his London Station. When the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites. His career, his real identity and his mission are pitted against his heart; hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage. Richard Gere, Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, John Magaro, and Katherine Waterston also star in the series.
Joining the SkyShowtime line-up is "Lockerbie: A Search for Truth", a five-part limited event series that delves into the 1988 Lockerbie disaster, where 259 passengers and crew were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their lives as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town. In the wake of the disaster and his daughter Flora’s death, Dr Jim Swire, played by Colin Firth, is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims’ families, who have united to demand truth and justice. Traveling across continents and political divides, Jim embarks on a relentless journey that not only jeopardizes his stability, family and life, but completely overturns his trust in the justice system.
Spanish series, "A Recipe for Murder" will be the latest addition to the platform. The five-part series from renowned documentary filmmaker Jose Gomez chronicles the violent death of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta on a tranquil Thai island, at the hands of Daniel Sancho, a 29-year-old aspiring chef known for his YouTube videos. The documentary joins a cohort of prior announced local titles set to premiere on SkyShowtime, which include "Mamen Mayo", "Schmeichel", "Langer" and "Śleboda".
SkyShowtime have also announced "Happy Face", which is inspired by the true-life story of Melissa Moore; the critically acclaimed "Happy Face" podcast from iHeartPodcasts and Moore; and the autobiography "Shattered Silence". The series sees Emmy Award and two-time Golden Globe nominee Dennis Quaid in the titular role of the real-life serial killer notoriously called “Happy Face” because of the smiley faces he drew on evidence where he bragged about his crimes.
SkyShowtime continues to leverage its impressive portfolio of gripping and exclusive series, offering members even more entertainment – with the likes of "Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist", starring Kevin Hart, Samuel L Jackson, Taraji P. Henson, Don Cheadle, and Terrence Howard. Based on the acclaimed iHeart true-crime podcast, the series follows the infamous story of how an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight changed not only one man’s life but ultimately transformed Atlanta into the “Black Mecca.” Dexter: Resurrection also joins the line-up featuring Golden Globe and SAG Winner Michael C. Hall returning as Dexter Morgan. He will also narrate the previously announced "Dexter: Original Sin". Further offerings coming to the service are "Teacup", "Hysteria!" and deviously twisted coming-of-'rage' story, "Sweetpea" starring Ella Purnell.
In addition to the titles above, SkyShowtime has announced a number of box office movies and first-run family favourites for members to enjoy including "IF" and "Kung Fu Panda 4," alongside Abigail, "A Quiet Place Day One", "Back to Black", "Monkey Man", "Our Son", and "The Fall Guy".
SkyShowtime will also strengthen its extensive library content with a selection of unscripted series coming to the platform from October including "Below Deck", "Catfish: The TV Show", "Ex on the Beach", "Keeping Up With The Kardashians", "Million Dollar Listing" (Los Angeles and New York), select series from The Real Housewives franchise, "MTV Cribs, the Teen Mom franchise", "Top Chef" and "Vanderpump Rules".
