War

Premieres Friday 2nd October at 9pm on Sky Atlantic

War is a new scandal-soaked legal thriller set in the elite world of London law. War follows two of London’s most prestigious rival firms – Cathcarts & Sons 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.

YUJA

Premieres Wednesday 30th September at 9pm on Sky Arts

Daredevil. Rebel. Powerhouse. At 39, Yuja Wang stands among the most electrifying musicians of our time and she is falling out of love with the music. She has both ignited and upended classical music, on her own terms, with ferocious artistry, superhuman technique, and a stage presence as bold as her famously daring couture and six-inch stilettos. With unprecedented access, the film weaves together performance, memory, and reconstruction to explore the forces that shape Yuja, and the woman she is still becoming.

Portrait Artist of the Year 2026

Premieres Thursday 7th October at 8pm on Sky Arts

Portrait Artist of the Year returns for its thirteenth series, ushering in a bold new era for the beloved programme with, for the first time in the history of the programme, an entirely refreshed judging panel. Joining our host Stephen Mangan will be three formidable voices from the contemporary art world: Britain’s best-known contemporary Portrait Painter, Jonathan Yeo; Eva Langret, Director of Frieze London; and art historian and broadcaster Katy Hessel. Together, they will challenge, champion and ultimately crown the Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year 2026.

Grimsburg Season 3

Starts Saturday 9th October at 10pm on Sky One

Marvin Flute may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown or correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there's one mystery he still can't crack -- his family. Now that he's back in Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, Flute follows every lead he's got to redeem himself with the ex-wife he never stopped loving, even if it means hanging out with the son he never bothered to get to know.
