Sky has unveiled an ambitious, genre-spanning slate of Original drama, comedy, entertainment, arts, and factual programming.
Speaking during the Sky Spotlight' panel at Edinburgh International TV Festival, Caroline Cooper (COO, Sky Entertainment Group), Meghan Lyvers (Executive Director of Scripted, Sky) and Phil Edgar-Jones (Executive Director of Unscripted, Sky) reaffirmed Sky's commitment to bringing customers the very best in entertainment, following a week of big announcements on exciting new and returning shows.
Outlining Sky's vision for the year ahead, Caroline Cooper says: It's been a record-breaking year for Sky Originals, and our strategy remains clear: to deliver for our customers. Our upcoming slate reflects the strength of our creative partnerships, our investment in British talent, and our ability to bring extraordinary stories to viewers here and around the world.
That's why we're excited to add The Good Daughter - the adaptation of Karin Slaughter's hit novel starring Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy - to our line-up in 2026, a perfect example of how we bring together the very best shows from around the world
Meghan Lyvers, Executive Director of Scripted, Sky, lifted the lid on the upcoming scripted line-up, she says: Our scripted strategy is about delivering bold, distinctive stories with unforgettable characters that audiences can fall in love with - and keep coming back to.
"We're delighted to announce the return of fan favourites, Mr Bigstuff for its third series and Gangs of London for its fourth. These series perfectly exemplify the rich, character-driven British stories that our customers love. Additionally, we are excited to reveal new projects including WAR, a two-season legal thriller by George Kay starring Dominic West. We also eagerly anticipate audiences experiencing The Iris Affair, which we shared a first look tease of earlier this week."
Previewing Sky's unscripted slate, Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director of Unscripted, Sky highlighted the broadcaster's focus on talent-led entertainment. He says After the huge success of our entertainment series - especially A League of Their Own after 20 incredible seasons - the time feels right for creative renewal. We're proud of what we've built and excited to focus on two distinctive opportunities: talent-led series and scaled formats, with shows like Danny Dyer's Caravan Park and Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby leading the charge.
Turning to Sky Documentaries, Edgar-Jones outlined the channel's vision, he says - Sky Documentaries delivers unmissable, thought-provoking stories - whether it's crime and scandal-fuelled binges like The Essex Murders, investigative thrillers like 7/7: Homegrown Terror, or personality-led hits such as Boyzone: No Matter What, our biggest Original Documentary to date. I'm also thrilled to announce Alien Autopsy from BAFTA-winner John Dower - a gripping investigation into the infamous 1995 Roswell footage, supposedly showing an alien autopsy. The doc will explore its origins, and the blurred lines between fact and fiction.
And finally, highlighting Sky's ongoing commitment to the arts, Phil Edgar-Jones says, Sky Arts is all about celebrating creativity in all its forms, from the return of the Sky Arts Awards with Bill Bailey at the helm, to Voices of the Valleys, and Drinks with Dame Judi which perfectly showcase our partnerships with brilliant regional and smaller indies across the UK.
Attendees were also treated to a selection of exclusive, in-the-room-only clips, offering a sneak peek at several upcoming titles, including The Death of Bunny Munro, an adaptation of the Nick Cave novel, a darkly comic drama following a sex-obsessed door-to-door salesman on a reckless road trip with his young son; Danny Dyers' Caravan Park, a heartwarming reality series with Danny Dyer and his family bringing new life to a rundown seaside holiday park; and The Essex Murders: Who Killed Goldfinger?, a documentary exploring the real-life story and mysterious murder of the infamous British criminal John Palmer.
NEW for Sky Original Drama and Comedy
TITLE: WAR
SUBTITLE: WAR is a new scandal-soaked legal thriller set in the elite world of London law
TX DATE: TBA
SYNOPSIS: Sky and HBO announce WAR, a bold new legal thriller from the creator of Lupin and Hijack, starring Dominic West (The Wire, The Crown) as tech titan Morgan Henderson and Sienna Miller as his estranged wife, international film star Carla Duval. Set in the elite world of London law, the series has been greenlit for two series from the outset, opening with a scandalous divorce case that sends shockwaves through boardrooms, bedrooms, and courtrooms alike.
Created by George Kay (Hijack, Lupin, The Long Shadow) and directed by Ben Taylor (Sex Education, Catastrophe), WAR is produced by New Pictures (The Long Shadow, Catherine the Great, Cobra) in association with Sky and HBO.
WAR follows two of London's most prestigious rival firms - Cathcarts and Taylor & Byrne - as they go head to head in the divorce case of the century. Each side is certain they'll win. But as the case spirals and loyalties fracture, reputations are on the line, and everyone's playing to win. This is just the beginning - season one's explosive case is the first in an anthology of headline-making legal battles.
TITLE: The Good Daughter
