Django
This new 10-part drama reimagines the classic Spaghetti Western, loosely based on Sergio Corbucci’s eponymous cult classic film. Set in Texas in the late 1800s, Django (Matthias Schoenaerts) follows his daughter’s trail to New Babylon, a town at the bottom of a crater, where all outcasts are welcome and where everyone is equal and free.
Here, Django discovers that his daughter is alive and set to marry John Ellis (Nicholas Pinnock), the founder of New Babylon. Sarah (Lisa Vicari) – who blames her father for the death of their family, massacred many years earlier while he was at war – wants Django to leave.
But he refuses to give up and does everything in his power to get a second chance with her, becoming a valuable ally for Ellis, who must defend the town from Elizabeth Thurman’s (Noomi Rapace) attacks. Unbeknownst to them, Django, John, and Sarah are linked by a web of secrets and a dark past bound to resurface.
Episode one and two of Django are streaming on Sky Atlantic with Now.

Elvis
From Oscar-nominated filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, this BAFTA-winning Elvis Presley biopic explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) as seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America.
Elvis is streaming on Sky Cinema with Now.
Dublin Narcos
The new three-part docuseries tells the story of how Dublin transformed from a recession-blighted city in the 1980s to a growing metropolis in the 1990s. As its fortune changed, so too did its criminals.
They spotted new opportunities – sourcing and selling a succession of illegal substances including heroin, ecstasy and cocaine. As these drugs exploded in popularity, they came to redefine life and crime in Ireland, making millions for some, while fuelling a rise in addiction, violence and organised crime for many others.
Fusing documentary and drama, Dublin Narcos tells the story of how drugs changed the fabric of Dublin, which can still be seen to this day. It hears first-hand from an extraordinary cast of characters, including the kingpins to the Gardaí who struggled to find new ways to bring down the new breed of criminal.
Crucially, the series also hears from the fearless journalists whose attempts to expose the drug barons eventually lead to the death of one of their bravest, Veronica Guerin.
Dublin Narcos is streaming on Sky Documentaries with Now from March 4.
Voyagers
With the future of the human race at stake, a group of young men and women, bred for intelligence and obedience, embark on an expedition to colonize a distant planet. But when they uncover disturbing secrets about the mission, they defy their training and begin to explore their most primitive natures.
As life on the ship descends into chaos, they’re consumed by fear, lust, and the insatiable hunger for power. Starring Tye Sheridan, Lily-Rose Depp, Fionn Whitehead and Colin Farrell.
Voyagers is streaming on Sky Cinema with Now from March 5.
