NATIONAL PREMIERES
Sunny Nights (AU-US)
Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth, Saturday Night Live) and D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place, Barry) star in this comedy-drama series as strait-laced American Martin and his loose cannon sister, Vicki. The siblings team up to set up a spray tan business in Sydney, home to one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world. It’s also home to Martin’s estranged wife, Susi (Jessica De Gouw, The Secrets She Keeps, The Survivors), whom he’s determined to win back.
But as Martin and Vicki attempt to turn their company from a start-up operating out of the back of a van into a multi-million-dollar empire, they get tangled up in Sydney’s criminal underworld. And when a ruthless gangster begins to catch up with them, the two must figure out how to stay alive, out of prison, and in business.
Costars include Rachel House (Heartbreak High), Miritana Hughes (Wakefield), Megan Wilding (Mystery Road: Origin), George Mason (Black Snow), Ra Chapman (Wentworth), Matuse (Last King of the Cross), and Willie Mason.
Sunny Nights premieres in the US on Wednesday, March 11, on Hulu.
Deadloch: Season 2 (AU)
Rather than being set again in the icy Tasmanian town of Deadloch, Season 2 of this fan-favorite crime comedy takes viewers to Australia’s Northern Territory. Here in the sweltering Top End, Detectives Dulcie Collins (Kate Box, Wentworth, Rake) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami, Our Flag Means Death, The Bad Seed) are in Darwin to investigate the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy. But when the body of a local icon is discovered in the remote town of Barra Creek, they are tasked with identifying the John Doe instead of the Northern Territory police force, who are focused on a large-scale search for two missing backpackers.
Sticky, sweaty, and juggling comprehensive thrush infections, Dulcie and Eddie find themselves embroiled in a world of crocodile-fueled tourism, overstretched Indigenous rangers, cagey locals, and seven-meter prehistoric predators, all of which call this stretch of Barra Creek’s land and water home. As the humidity builds, and Eddie and Dulcie dig deeper, more questions arise, not only about the case, but also about the many secrets that lie beneath the surface of this small town.
Also reprising their roles for Season 2 are Nina Oyama (Utopia, Class of ’07) as Constable Abby Matsuda and Alicia Gardiner (Offspring, Wakefield) as Cath York, Dulcie’s wife.
Joining the cast for Season 2 are Luke Hemsworth (Thor: Love & Thunder), Steve Bisley (Mystery Road: Origin), Shari Sebbens (The Sapphires), Jean Tong, Genevieve Morris (Bloom), Byron Coll (Time Bandits), Nikki Britton (How to Stay Married), Anthony J Sharpe (Joe v Carole), Blake Pavey (Urvi Went to an All Girls School), Damien Garvey (The Survivors), Ngali Shaw (The Twelve), Bev Killick (Savage River), Ling Cooper-Tang (Troppo), Ursula Yovich (Mystery Road), Syd Brisbane (Stateless), Ines English (Last Days of the Space Age), Lennox Monaghan (Windcatcher), Reiden Corpus, and Storm Murgha.
Deadloch: Season 2, an Amazon Original Series, premieres globally on Friday, March 20, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video. (You can add it to your watchlist now.)

Mystery Road: Origin: Season 2 (AU)
Mark Coles Smith (Apple Cider Vinegar, The Clearing, Savage River) reprises his role as Indigenous detective Jay Swan in Season 2 of this noir mystery thriller series, an origin-story prequel to the Mystery Road television series, itself a spin-off of the movie franchise.
Opening six months after the events of Season 1, the new season finds Jay and Mary (Tuuli Narkle, NCIS: Sydney, Territory) continuing to explore their relationship by settling in the small town of Loch Iris, where he’s been posted for work and she works at the local hospital. Quaint, this place is not, as Jay soon finds himself investigating a series of deaths and the disappearance of a seven-year-old girl. He’s an outsider, so the townspeople close ranks around him, not the least of whom is Sgt. Simmo (Robyn Malcolm, Far North, Harrow, Wanted). The more Jay pieces together the crime, the more he realizes the entire town has been hiding a shadowy past, one that is still rippling through to the present, along with a secret that threatens to tear Jay and Mary apart.
Mystery Road: Origin: Season 2, an Acorn TV Original, premieres in the US on Monday, March 23, exclusively on Acorn TV, AMC+, and their digital channels, including Acorn TV on Amazon Channels and AMC+ on Amazon Channels.
Heartbreak High: Season 3 (AU)
In the third and final season of this hit teen comedy-drama series, it’s goodbye school, hello adulthood for Hartley High’s graduating class. But when a revenge prank goes horribly wrong, Amerie (Ayesha Madon, Love Me, The Moth Effect) and her friends must cover up their secret or risk losing everything.
Heartbreak High: Season 3, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Wednesday, March 25, exclusively on Netflix.
