Check out our handy guide for a look at what’s coming to Sky Atlantic in 2026 (and beyond).

New Sky Atlantic series

The Good Daughter

Coming 12th November

Based on the bestselling novel by Karin Slaughter, this six-part psychological thriller has a pretty impressive cast, led by Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids), Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus) and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin).

The story follows sisters Charlotte (Fahy) and Samantha (Byrne), whose lives were shattered by a violent attack 20 years earlier. When another brutal incident rocks their hometown, old wounds are reopened and long-buried secrets begin resurfacing. Expect plenty of twists, family drama and some seriously uncomfortable revelations.

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

The Gilded Age - Season 4

Coming 2nd November

The lavish period drama from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes is back for a fourth season, bringing more high society scandal, family feuds and ridiculously expensive-looking outfits to 1880s New York.

Following her ruthless climb up the social ladder, Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) faces the consequences of her ambitions, while old rival Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) looks to reclaim her standing. Elsewhere, Marian and Peggy face fresh challenges of their own. Expect plenty more scheming, snobbery and spectacular ballroom drama.

Sweetpea - Season 2

Coming 26th November

The darkly comedic thriller is returning for its second season this November. Ella Purnell (Fallout) returns as Rhiannon, an unassuming young woman who develops a penchant for murder.

This time she’ll be juggling her dark proclivities with a new promotion, a new relationship and another killer intent on unmasking her.

Heated Rivalry - Season 2

Coming Spring 2027

It was inevitable that Sky’s mega-popular romance series would get a second season, and lo and behold it’s now due to hit our screens sometime in 2027. Adapting the sixth novel in Rachel Reid’s bestselling Game Changers series, The Long Game, this will see tensions arise between the secret lovers as Ilya wants to take the relationship public.

Will the second season prove to be as universally beloved as the first? Only time will tell…

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - Season 2

Coming in 2027

The Game of Thrones spin-off proved to be a huge success on release, garnering critical and fan acclaim for its more grounded, comedic take on a Westeros adventure - something of a tonic after a slightly disappointing second outing for House of the Dragon.

There’s precious little political maneuvering here, and no dragons to speak of, the show instead focusing on the down-to-earth adventures of the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg. The buddy dynamic is a winner, and it’s nice to have a fantasy show that still has stakes without being all doom and gloom.

Bring on season 2!

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.
