May premieres on Sky Cinema

Fresh from its cinema release in February – where it heaved its way to a global box office take of $240 million – Wuthering Heights hits Sky Cinema this month, so you can revel in Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s moortop smouldering from the comfort of your sofa. For a more traditional but no less entertaining period drama there’s Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, while the world’s finest (or at least funniest) rock band are back in Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. Elsewhere, Glen Powell is trying to survive in The Running Man, Margaret Qualley is on the case in Honey Don’t! and the zombies are coming in We Bury The Dead.

With new premieres every week, there’s always a wide range of superb movie action to enjoy. And if you’ve been too busy over the past few months to keep up with all the new premieres on Sky Cinema, scroll down to see our round-up of all the latest titles available in On Demand.

Here are the great new films to watch on Sky Cinema this month.

Available from Friday 1 May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

The adaptation of Emily Brontë’s beloved novel about the tempestuous relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff is one of the most talked-about movies of the past year – as you’d expect from Emerald Fennell, writer/director of the provocative Promising Young Woman and Saltburn. Margot Robbie (Babylon) and Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein) are suitably sultry as the leads conducting their ill-starred romance on the stunningly windswept Yorkshire Moors, while the outlandish costumes and banging soundtrack by Charli XCX underline that this is no old-fashioned period drama.

Available from Saturday 2 May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

It might be four decades on but this sequel to the classic mockumentary – or, if you will, rockumentary – feels entirely natural, because what could be more normal than a washed-up rock band putting on a lucrative reunion gig? Spinal Tap members Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St Hubbins (Michael McKean) and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) have long since gone their separate ways, but the lure of a revival proves too strong to resist. Cue a string of gags both deft and silly as the old geezers get back on stage: the nostalgia is strong, sure, but Spinal Tap II should win new fans as well, not least thanks to the amazing musician cameos.

Available from Sunday 3 May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Actor Embeth Davidtz (Miss Honey from 1996’s Matilda) makes her directorial debut with this heartfelt adaptation Alexandra Fuller’s memoir. An eight-year-old girl’s childhood unfolds on her family farm amid the war that would establish an independent Zimbabwe; we watch Bobo (Lexi Venter) deal with the challenges of her mentally ill mother Nicola (Davidtz), paranoid father Tim (Rob van Vuuren) and vulnerable sister Van (Anina Reed), as the conflict rumbles around her. Bobo’s guiding light is nanny Sarah (Zikhona Bali), who loves the child but knows her attachment to a white family may bring trouble in the long run. Powerful, well acted and rewarding.

Available from Friday 8 May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG

The Crawleys are back for more aristocratic shenanigans in and around the titular stately home. Once again, Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery, Flight Risk) is causing a scandal with her romantic status and the family are down on their luck financially – could handsome American investor Gus (Alessandro Nivola, The Brutalist) solve both problems? Meanwhile below stairs, wedding preparations are well under way… Even without the late Maggie Smith’s acid-tongued Dowager Countess, this is delightful, escapist fun – and despite the title, we wouldn’t be surprised to see more of these movies.

Available from Saturday 9 May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Meet Wong, a retired police officer and surveillance expert now working as a dog walker. You can bet he won’t be marshalling mutts for long because Wong is played by action movie legend Jackie Chan, master of beating up onscreen bad guys at lightning speed. Sure enough, the local police in Macau – who’ve lost their cop skills thanks to reliance on AI – are soon calling on him to help them catch a powerful criminal known as the Shadow, who is about to stage a big crypto heist… or something? It doesn’t really matter once Chan breaks out his fighting skills, assisted by Zifeng Zhang as an ambitious young officer who’s (of course!) the daughter of his deceased former partner. Violent fun.

Available from Sunday 10 May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Honey O’Donahue (Margaret Qualley, The Substance) is a private investigator in a small California town. She’s well aware of her own limitations but feels obliged to get involved when a series of strange deaths in the area are linked to a church headed by the overbearing Rev Drew Devlin (Chris Evans, Materialists). She might have more success if she could only stop being distracted by hot women… Also starring Aubrey Plaza (Emily The Criminal) and Charlie Day (Horrible Bosses), this is another quirky mystery in the vein of Drive-Away Dykes from director Ethan Coen.

Available from Friday 15 May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

The leading-man charisma of Glen Powell (Twisters, Anyone But You) and the high-energy directorial style of Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Hot Fuzz) make a winning combination in this new adaptation of Stephen King’s bestselling novel. Powell is Ben, a father whose last chance for curing his sick daughter is to enter dystopian TV show The Running Man, where contestants attempt to survive for a cash prize while pursued by assassins. By turns action thriller and biting satire, it’s a wild ride that sticks more closely to the book than the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger version, with an excellent supporting cast including Josh Brolin (Weapons), Michael Cera (Superbad), Emilia Jones (Locke & Key) and Colman Domingo (Euphoria).

Available from Saturday 16 May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

A test of a controversial new weapon goes badly wrong, resulting in mass deaths on the island of Tasmania. When rumours spread that the dead are rising, the military are quick to insist they are harmless – but then again, they’re the ones who caused the problem in the first place. And when Ava (Daisy Ridley, Cleaner) enters a quarantine zone searching for her missing husband, she discovers that the undead are violent, dangerous and relentless – and becoming more so all the time. Shot with eye-catching style by Aussie director Zak Hilditch (1922), this is an unusual twist on the zombie movie with a powerful central performance from Ridley as the grief-stricken Ava.

Available in May in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert U

In this feature-length version of the popular kids’ show that mixed live action and animation, there’s excitement ahead for Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner) as she heads out on a road trip with her Grandma Gigi (Gloria Estefan) to the urban wonderland of Cat Francisco. But trouble looms when Gabby’s prized dollhouse falls into the hands of an eccentric cat lady named Vera (Bridesmaids’ Kristen Wiig). Gabby must do everything she can to get the Gabby Cats back together and save the dollhouse.
