New premieres that pack a punch 

Top Gear Australia – Season 1

Premieres: Friday, 13 June at 20:00–21:00 

For the first time in BBC Brit history, Top Gear Australia joins the channel — and it's coming in fast with a turbo-charged Aussie twist. Hosts Blair Joscelyne, Beau Ryan, and Jonathan LaPaglia take on outrageous stunts, epic road trips, and head-to-head car showdowns across four continents. From supercars to seriously weird rides (and, of course, the return of the Down Under Stig), this high-octane debut is a landmark moment for petrolheads and casual fans alike.

Death Valley 

Premieres: Tuesday, 1 July at 20:00–21:00 

Murder meets heart in this gripping new drama. A small-town crime with big consequences draws together a reclusive ex-TV detective and an ambitious young sergeant. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of rural Wales, it’s a story of secrets, second chances, and unexpected partnerships.

My Life is Murder – Season 1

Coming soon

Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) stars as Alexa Crowe, a sharp-tongued sleuth who can’t help meddling — whether it’s in murder investigations or everyday mayhem. Unapologetic, unpredictable, and irresistibly entertaining.

Returning favourites

The Masked Singer  – Season 6

Returns: Sunday 15 June | 19:00–20:00 

The wildly popular mystery-singing competition is back! Twelve costumed celebrities. One host of outrageous guesses. And only one question: who’s behind the mask? Expect drama, big voices, and jaw-dropping reveals.

The Weakest Link – Season 4

Returns: Wednesday 2 July at 20:00–21:00 

Hosted by the razor-sharp Romesh Ranganathan, this high-stakes celebrity quiz show keeps you hooked with themed episodes and hilarious one-liners. Famous faces compete, alliances form, and backstabbing ensues. Who will crack—and who will walk away as the strongest link?
