Sky’s stepping up this year with a renewed deal with HBO, added jokes on Sky Comedy and a growing number of Sky originals on the cards. But before you break open new box sets or devour some big-hitting blockbusters, don’t miss your chance to catch some modern gems before their rights expire and they depart – including a host of Disney titles heading to Disney+.

That means taking care not to miss out on The Night Of, The New Pope and The Walking Dead – or, if you’ve got Sky Cinema, everything from Mandy and Blockers to Avengers: Infinity War the criminally underseen Thoroughbreds.

This is your last chance to stream the following:

TV

Stargate SG-1: Season 1 to 10 – 1st March

This long-running sci-fi series picks up where the blockbuster movie left off.

The Night Of: Season 1 – 2nd March

Based on BBC drama Criminal Justice, this gripping eight-part HBO adaptation stars Riz Ahmed as a man accused of a brutal murder and follows the police investigation and legal proceedings in New York City.

The Walking Dead: Season 1 to 10 Part 1 – 6th March

Don’t miss your chance to catch up with The Walking Dead from the very beginning.

The New Pope: Season 2 – 10th March

The follow-up to 2017’s The Young Pope fromOscar winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, The New Pope, dives into the inner workings of the Vatican, while exploring the very human desires, vices and fragilities of those in power and the complexities inherent in faith today. The series picks up where The Young Pope left off, with Jude Law’s Lenny Belardo, known as Pope Pius XIII, in a coma. Following an unpredictable and mysterious turn of events, Secretary of State Voiello (Silvio Orlando) succeeds in having Sir John Brannox (John Malkovich), a charming and sophisticated moderate English aristocrat, placed on the papal throne, adopting the name John Paul III. The new pope seems ideal, but he conceals secrets and has a certain fragility.

Movies

Mandy (2018) – 27th February

Nicolas Cage at his Nicolas Cagiest. In the Pacific Northwest of 1983, lumberjack Red (Cage) lives with his partner Mandy in a remote cabin beneath the Shadow Mountains. However, their peaceful existence is shattered when Mandy attracts the eye of the sadistic leader of a cult known as the Children of the New Dawn. What follows is a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire, gonzo violence, and Cage’s trademark volcanic outbursts.

Pitch Black – 29th February

Back before they tried to give Riddick his own Chronicles, David Twohy’s stripped down sci-fi thriller was a fantastic B-movie beast. Vin Diesel’s gravelly voice, some smart CGI and top-notch creature design combine to make a surprising, fun 110 minutes that prove you don’t need money if you have ideas. Well, that and massive goggles to let you see in the dark.

Ready Player One – 4th March

Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi romp stars Tye Sheridan as Wade Watts, a lonely slum-dwelling teen who takes the fight to the money-hungry suits out to turn the Oasis – an immersive VR fantasyland created by oddball genius James Halliday (Mark Rylance) – into a soulless advertising tool. Together Wade and a group of likeminded underdogs, including Olivia Cooke’s Samantha, must use their in-game avatars to complete three challenges before chief wrong’un Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn) beats them to it.

Blockers – 5th March

Generations clash in this laugh-out-loud teen-and-parent comedy that balances progressive smarts with gross-out giggles.

Deadpool 2 – 6th March

Chimichanga! The Merc with a Mouth returns. When his life is shattered by a tragic case of fridging, the fourth-wall breaking anti-hero falls into a deep funk. But when he meets Russell (Julian Dennison, Hunt for the Wilderpeople), a young mutant being pursued by a heavily armed cyborg from the future (Josh Brolin), he realises he finally has something to live for again. But in order to save Russell, he’ll need to team up with Domino (Zazie Beetz) – an exceptionally lucky mutant – and five other much less lucky teammates.

Thoroughbreds – 12th March

Hilarious and unpredictable, this deliciously twisted teen thriller is destined to become a cult favourite for a generation.

A Quiet Place – 12th March

John Krasinski’s terrifyingly taut survival thriller is so good you’ll be shouting about it for weeks.

Avengers: Infinity War – 19th March

The Avengers goes dark in this big, bold, bleak blockbuster that suffers from having its own sequel.
