Sky is doing its best to keep people thinking about staying indoors for the coming month, with the return of The Walking Dead for six special episodes tempting horror fans back to the sofa. There’s also big-hitting US TV that ranges from Bryan Cranston’s legal drama, Your Honor, to the much-anticipated arrival of The Flight Attendant, starring Kaley Cuoco. Homegrown fun comes in the form of Bloods, starring Samson Kayo, while non-fiction gems on offer include new documentaries Tina and The Painter and the Thief. And, to top it all off, there’s the return of Station 19 – which means it isn’t long now until Grey’s Anatomy Season 17 lands on UK TV.

Sky Cinema, meanwhile, follows The United States vs Billie Holiday with a string of exclusive originals, including Creation Stories, Six Minutes to Midnight and SAS: Red Notice.
