Wicked: For Good (2025)

Available from Saturday 11 July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG

Wicked: For Good reunites Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda in the eagerly anticipated second chapter of the Wicked story. Now branded the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba is living in hiding as she continues her fight against the Wizard’s regime, while Glinda has become the glamorous public face of Oz. As their lives take very different paths, the pair find themselves torn between duty, loyalty and friendship.  With Jeff Goldblum returning as the Wizard and Jonathan Bailey as Prince Fiyero, Wicked: For Good builds towards the events of The Wizard Of Oz with spectacular musical numbers, dazzling visuals and plenty of emotion.

Anaconda (2025)

Available in July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 12

Jack Black (A Minecraft Movie) and Paul Rudd (Death Of A Unicorn) star in this comedy adventure inspired by the cult 1997 creature feature Anaconda. Lifelong friends Doug and Griff have always dreamed of remaking their favourite movie, and when a midlife crisis convinces them to finally take the plunge, they head deep into the Amazon rainforest with a film crew in tow. Unfortunately, their chaotic project takes an unexpected turn when they come face to face with a very real giant anaconda. This tongue-in-cheek spin on the Anaconda concept sees Black and Rudd putting their comic chemistry to good use in a wildly entertaining jungle escapade. 

Grand Prix Of Europe

Available in July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert U

Young mouse Edda dreams of becoming a racing champion, but she never imagined she'd get the chance to compete in one of the biggest events in motorsport. When circumstances lead her to impersonate her hero, legendary driver Ed, she finds herself on the starting grid of the Grand Prix of Europe. Not only could victory save her family's struggling amusement park, but it could also help protect Ed's hard-earned racing legacy. Featuring voice performances from Gemma Arterton (Funny Woman), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (The Queen's Gambit), Hayley Atwell (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning), Lenny Henry and Rob Beckett.

Bugonia

Available in June in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Idiosyncratic filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos directed both Olivia Colman (The Favourite) and Emma Stone (Poor Things) to Oscar-winning performances, and he’s back with this strange, tense thriller. A pair of conspiracy theorists (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) are convinced that a pharmaceutical CEO (Stone) is actually an alien with a destructive agenda. But when they kidnap her, intent on exposing the truth, events soon spiral out of their control. It’s part crime drama, part black comedy and part bleak satire with a large dollop of surrealism – no one else makes films like Lanthimos. Not to be missed.

Redux Redux

Available in July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Grief and revenge collide in this sci-fi thriller. After the murder of her daughter, Irene Kelly discovers a way to travel between parallel universes and becomes obsessed with tracking down and killing the man responsible in reality after reality. But as her quest for vengeance continues, the line between justice and obsession begins to blur, threatening to consume what remains of her humanity. Mixing multiverse science fiction with action and psychological drama, Redux Redux delivers plenty of twists while exploring the devastating impact of loss.

Lurker

Available in July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Matthew (Théodore Pellerin) is a lonely retail worker whose life changes when he crosses paths with rising pop star Oliver (Archie Madekwe, Saltburn). He gradually works his way into Oliver's inner circle, but staying there proves far more difficult. As fame and obsession begin to collide, the relationship between the two men takes a dark turn. Marking the directorial debut of The Bear and Beef writer-producer Alex Russell, Lurker is a psychological thriller that explores celebrity culture, belonging and the dangerous lengths some people will go to for a place in the spotlight.

Normal

Available from Friday 31 July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 12

Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) continues his unlikely action-hero streak in this comic thriller from director Ben Wheatley (Free Fire). When temporary sheriff Ulysses arrives in the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota, he expects a quiet posting. Instead, a botched bank robbery uncovers a criminal conspiracy that stretches far beyond the town limits. With Henry Winkler (Barry) and Lena Headey (Game Of Thrones), Normal blends mystery, action and offbeat humour into a thoroughly entertaining ride.
