New Sky Atlantic series

Atomic

Out now

British action adventure series starring Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones) and Shazad Latif (Star Trek: Discovery) as a free-wheeling drug smuggler and an enigmatic fugitive respectively, swept up in a plot to traffic uranium across North Africa and the Middle East.

This is garnering some decent reviews, and by all accounts it’s a rollicking action romp that is more than worth a watch.

IT: Welcome to Derry

Coming 27th October

A prequel series to the mega popular duo of movies, themselves based on Stephen King’s legendary horror masterpiece. Welcome to Derry takes things back another 27 years and into the midst of the ‘60s, focussing on a new cast of beleaguered kids.

Crucially, though, this also sees the return of Bill Skarsgård as iconic monster Pennywise the Dancing Clown, complete with frilly collar, wonky eyes and sharp, protruding teeth. If this series is anywhere near as scary - and brilliant - as the movies, it could be something very special indeed.

Perfect Halloween viewing!

The Death of Bunny Munro

Coming in 2025

An adaptation of Nick Cave’s darkly comedic novel, this limited series follows the titular Bunny Munro (Matt Smith), a womanizing, alcoholic travelling salesman who takes his young son on an out-of-control roadtrip around Brighton.

Also, there’s a serial killer on the loose. Classic Nick Cave.

Amadeus

Coming in 2025

A limited series adapted from the 1979 stage play (and subsequent 1984 movie), which tells a fictionalised account of the rivalry between composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri.

Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) takes the role of the young upstart Mozart, while Paul Bettany (Avengers: Infinity War) plays his older rival. The most exciting thing here is that the show comes from Joe Barton, the mind behind recent hits like Giri/Haji and Black Doves.

The Iris Affair

Coming in 2025

A Sky Original thriller series from Luthor creator Neil Cross. This follows a puzzle-addicted genius - the titular Iris, played by Niamh Algar (Censor) - who steals a mysterious code from a charming philanthropist (Tom Hollander) and ends up on the run.

With the clock ticking and nefarious forces on her tail, Iris must use all of her intelligence and resourcefulness to stay one step ahead and discover what the code could unleash.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Coming in 2026

Return to Westeros in this second spin-off of the monumentally popular Game of Thrones. This brand new series, based on George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, is another prequel, this time taking place a mere 90 years before the events of the original show.

It follows the adventures of hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall, aka ‘Dunk’ (Peter Claffey), and his young squire Prince Aegon Targaryen - yes, another one - aka Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), as they travel the titular Seven Kingdoms.

Here’s hoping this one is a bit more light and fun - as hard as that is to imagine in grim and gritty Westeros - than its more serious, ponderous sibling, House of the Dragon.

Is Sky Atlantic free?

Sky Atlantic isn’t a free-to-watch channel, but it is included with any Sky Essential or Ultimate TV package at no extra cost. That means you should be able to access Sky Atlantic no matter which Sky service you opt for.

How to get Sky Atlantic without Sky TV

As above, Sky Atlantic is included with all Sky Essential and Ultimate TV packages as standard. But what if you’re not a Sky customer?

Those who don’t fancy signing up to Sky can access Sky Atlantic with a NOW TV Entertainment Pass. Starting from just £6.99 per month (or £9.99 for a monthly rolling contract), you’ll have access to all of Sky Atlantic’s hits, as well as hundreds of other brilliant box sets to stream on demand.

Can you get Sky Atlantic on Virgin?

Unfortunately, Sky Atlantic is not currently available on Virgin. You can get access to most other Sky channels with Virgin entertainment packages, including Sky Showcase, Sky Witness and Sky Max - as well as Sports and Cinema channels - but not Sky Atlantic.

For the moment, at least, Sky seems to prefer to keep its flagship channel exclusive to Sky and NOW.
