Twenty Twenty Six S1	Mockumentary about coverage of the 2026 World Cup, in which the former BBC Head of Values takes up the mantle of Director of Integrity for the largest soccer tournament ever held across North America.
THE SEASON	Amid Hong Kong's glittering summer season, the old-money Hexts launch their new vessel and host a coterie of elite friends, unaware that a new entrant to society, Cola Pierce, holds a dark secret. Parties and social events turn into a cat‑and‑mouse game across the city as Cola faces off against the elite of the city.

American Classic S1	AMERICAN CLASSIC tells the story of Broadway star Richard Bean who suffers a spectacular public meltdown and returns home to the family theatre where he first became aware of his own brilliance. Once there, his extreme behaviour sets off a series of crises among those closest to him: his ex-girlfriend (now the town's mayor) married to his brother, his brother himself, and his beloved niece who dreams of a life in the theatre. As old loves resurface and buried secrets emerge, Richard must confront the consequences of his past actions and the family and town he left behind for fame and glamour. Each season follows a different Richard Bean production that will reflect the stories unfolding in the lovable but flawed Bean family and the transformative power of making art.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S1-S3	STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series will feature fan favorites from season two of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

Enterprise, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, confronts increasingly dangerous stakes, explores uncharted territories and encounters new life and civilizations.

Facing friends and enemies both new and familiar, their adventures will unfold in surprising ways never seen before on any "Star Trek" series. In Season 3 of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of season two's harrowing encounter with the Gorn.
