New Sky Atlantic series

PONIES

Out now

Espionage thriller starring Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Haley Lu Richardson (The White Lotus). The series follows two ‘Persons of No Interest’, embassy secretaries in the murky world of ‘70s Moscow, who trade their desk jobs for the high-stakes spy game.

Balancing Cold War thrills with comedy, this looks like a fun watch.

Superfakes

Coming in 2027

This upcoming crime drama series has some pretty impressive pedigree behind it. Executive produced by Josh and Benny Safdie, the guys behind notoriously stressful crime thriller Uncut Gems and - separately - recent hits The Smashing Machine and Marty Supreme, and starring Lucy Liu (Kill Bill), there’s already some buzz building around the show.

Reportedly, this will follow a working class mother (Liu), making a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets of Chinatown, who gets dragged deeper and deeper into the criminal underworld. Sort of like a gender swapped Breaking Bad, maybe?

Returning Sky Atlantic series

House of the Dragon - Season 3

Coming 22nd June

Fancy another trip to Westeros? Following hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, HBO’s lavish Game of Thrones prequel returns for a hotly anticipated third season this June

Continuing to tell the multigenerational history of the tumultuous Targaryen dynasty, Season 3 finds the civil war in full swing, promising to kick off in dramatic fashion with the epic naval battle known as the Battle of the Gullet. From there, expect more blood, backstabbing and, of course, dragon fire.

Plus, HoTD has already been renewed for a fourth and final season, due out next year!

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.
