She’s been away from our screen for far too long, so we’re delighted to welcome back Bridget Jones in the fourth instalment of the beloved romcom series, in which our leading lady is grappling with the issues of middle age including grief, parenthood, new relationships and ghosts from the past. Speaking of which, there’s plenty of horror to keep you biting your nails this month on Sky Cinema, with It Feeds, Companion and Presence.

There’s family fun with heartwarming comedy Grow and surreal animation Dog Man, while you can get your thrills from spy drama Black Bag and dark crime comedy Lake George, and Rainn Wilson – Dwight from The Office! – headlines smart paramedic comedy Code 3. 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.

Novocaine

Watch Novocaine this September in Sky Cinema on demand.

Available from Friday 26 September in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Nathan Caine (Jack Quaid) has a genetic abnormality that means he can’t feel pain, so he chooses to live a quiet life to reduce the risk of unrecognised injuries. But when the object of his desire (Amber Midthunder, Prey) is abducted, he realises it’s time to embrace his unusual abilities and rescue her. This action comedy is a wild ride, with outlandish injuries aplenty, and Quaid – moving up from supporting film roles in Oppenheimer, Scream and more – proves a charismatic and likeable leading man.

Panda Plan

Available from Saturday 27 September in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Cinema icon Jackie Chan plays himself in this energetic action comedy – supposedly the 70-year-old star’s final venture into the genre – in which he adopts an adorable baby panda, only to find that an international crime syndicate has ordered the animal’s capture and demanded a huge ransom. Teaming up with the panda’s caretaker and his own agent, Jackie sets out to rescue the panda via the medium of, you guessed it, mind-blowing kung fu sequences. It’s a good-humoured film in which you’re never more than a few minutes away from a beautifully staged fight scene.

Juliet & Romeo

Available from Sunday 28 September in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 12

The star-cross’d lovers get the musical treatment in this ambitious film from writer/director Timothy Scott Bogart, with songs co-written by his brother Evan Kidd Bogart, an award-winning songwriter who’s worked with Beyonce, Madonna, Britney Spears, Jason Derulo and many more. Jamie Ward (His Dark Materials) and Danish actor Clara Rugaard are the ill-fated couple, with Jason Isaacs, Rebel Wilson, Derek Jacobi and Rupert Everett in the supporting cast. With a script that daringly ditches the Bard’s iambic pentameter, it’s a fresh and highly unusual take on a well-known story.

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy

Watch Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy this October in Sky Cinema on demand.

Available from Friday 3 October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Almost a decade on from Bridget Jones’s Baby, this new sequel gives Renée Zellweger’s romcom queen a whole new set of life challenges. Bridget, now navigating life as a widow and single mum, is coaxed into being on the dating apps as she tries to move on from grief – which leads her down an unexpected path when she connects with 20-something Roxster (Leo Woodall, One Day). And inevitably, her former boss and old flame Daniel (Hugh Grant returning to one of his signature roles) is causing problems for her… It’s a triumphant and poignant return for the much-loved series.

Code 3

Available from Saturday 4 October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Randy (Rainn Wilson, The Office US) knows his job as a paramedic is an important one. But he’s seen things. And he can’t do it any more. But when he quits, he’s talked into training his replacement Jessica (Aimee Carrero, The Consultant) on the job, and what begins as a routine day spirals into a chaotic ride full of emergencies, absurd encounters and unexpected truths about life on the front lines. Lil Rel Howery (Free Guy) co-stars in a film that’s both a riotous comedy and a cry for justice with a focus on some of society’s least fortunate people.

It Feeds

Watch It Feeds this October in Sky Cinema on demand.

Available from Sunday 5 October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Clairvoyant psychiatrist Cynthia (Ashley Greene, Twilight) is perturbed when a young girl arrives at her practice claiming that a shadowy entity is feeding on her. The doctor refuses to treat her: not because she doesn’t believe but because, being psychic, she does, and is terrified of the consequences of contact with the spectre. Only when her daughter Jordan (Ellie O’Brien, My Life With The Walter Boys) insists does Cynthia agree to get involved, and the decision takes them to some terrifying places. A distinctive and eerie horror movie with top-tier performances from a cast including X-Men’s Shawn Ashmore and genre maven Julian Richings.

Grow

Available from Friday 10 October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert TBC

No-nonsense farmer Dinah (Golda Rosheuvel, Bridgerton) reluctantly takes in her abandoned niece Charlie (Priya-Rose Brookwell, The Lazarus Project), but the youngster soon proves more than adept at horticulture – to the point where she decides to enter the local pumpkin-growing competition. Their bond grows alongside the vegetables, but there are rivals who will stop at nothing to get an advantage in the competition… This heartwarming tale of squash, sabotage and unlikely family connections also stars Nick Frost and Jane Horrocks.

Dog Man

Available in October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert U

When a faithful police dog and his brave handler are both injured on the job, there’s only one way to save them – a surgery that fuses the two together. The result: Dog Man, a brave and resourceful mutt who’s sworn to protect and serve. His first task is to thwart the nefarious plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson, The Pickup) in this anarchic, brilliantly animated movie based on the popular books by Captain Underpants author Dav Pilkey.

Black Bag

Available in October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Director Steven Soderbergh’s CV is packed with beautifully crafted reliable entertaining films in a variety of genres, from heist movies to black comedies to the stripper drama Magic Mike. With Black Bag, he takes on the spy thriller and casts Cate Blanchett (Tár) and Michael Fassbender (The Killer) as Kathryn and George Woodhouse, married intelligence officers. When George is assigned to investigate a list of suspected traitors and realises one is Kathryn, he faces the ultimate test of loyalties. Stylish, witty and satisfying.

Companion

Watch Companion this October in Sky Cinema on demand.

Available in October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Josh (Jack Quaid again) and Iris (Sophie Thatcher, Heretic) are taking a weekend break at a lake house with two other couples. But an unpleasant incident turns violent, and that’s when Iris learns the disturbing truth about her relationship and her very existence. This is a smart and thoughtful film about the realities of human interaction and how the advance of technology might alter them – plus it’s creepy as hell. Rupert Friend (The Death Of Stalin) and Harvey Guillén (What We Do In The Shadows) co-star.

Presence

Available in October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Steven Soderbergh – yes, him again – turns his hand to yet another category of film with the spine-tingling supernatural horror Presence. A family makes a fresh start by moving into a new house in a neighbourhood they love. But it soon becomes clear that not only are they unable to leave their grief and secrets behind, the house itself is hostile to them. Tense, inventively shot and occasionally shocking, this unusual movie stars Lucy Liu (Kill Bill) and Chris Sullivan (This Is Us).

Lake George

Available in October in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Sad-sack ex-con Don (Shea Whigham, F1) has managed to get in the bad books of some very unsavoury gangster types. But, he’s told, he can solve all his problems by carrying out one last job: killing Phyllis (Carrie Coon, The Gilded Age). Even in desperation, Don finds himself unable to do the deed – and Phyllis has a proposition for him. The two set off on a road trip with plans to get rich. What could go wrong? There’s a real spark between the leads in this cleverly plotted dark comedy that’s got an impressive 96% Rotten Tomatoes score.
