With a fresh and frothing pint to hand, a barrel of laughs to pour from, and a flower in his heart, Guv is all you need.
The Idaho Murders
Sky Crime
In the early hours of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students ; Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves and Xana Kernodle were brutally stabbed to death inside their off-campus home in the quiet college town of Moscow, Idaho. What began as an unthinkable tragedy quickly escalated into one of the most high-profile murder investigations in recent American history. Weeks later, after authorities found crucial DNA evidence from a knife sheathe and CCTV footage of a White Hyundai Elantra, they arrested Bryan Kohberger, a criminology student whose background only deepened the public’s fascination with the case. Charged with the murders and later sentenced to life in prison, his conviction brought a measure of justice, but not closure or answers. Four years on, this series revisits the crime, the investigation, and the lasting impact on the wider community. Through new insights, testimony, and expert analysis, it explores how such a brutal act could happen in such an unassuming, quiet town.
Coming to Sky Cinema
Wicked: For Good
Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda's stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
Anaconda (2025)
THIS IS NOT A REBOOT. It is an entirely original comedy, inspired by the cinematic 'classic' "Anaconda", that features Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd), who have been best friends since they were kids and always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie. When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming. But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation.

A screw-turning psychological thriller made for the moment, LURKER is the razor-sharp directorial debut from The Bear and Beef writer-producer Alex Russell. When twenty-something Los Angeles retail clerk and loner Matthew (Théodore Pellerin) encounters rising pop star Oliver (Saltburn’s Archie Madekwe), he takes the opportunity to edge his way into the in-crowd. But staying there isn't easy. With an entire entourage vying for attention, Matthew must prove himself to Oliver as more than just a follower.
