March 5th Premieres

Hope Street, Season 5

Set in the fictional Northern Irish seaside town of Port Devine, ‘Hope Street' follows the work and personal lives of the local police officers and the people around them. The series mixes crime stories with the everyday relationships, tensions, and small-town connections that shape life in the community.

In season 5, the new run begins when the Port Devine half-marathon is interrupted by the explosion of a parked car. New police constable and former Ulster rugby player Donal Gallagher (Cameron Cuffe, Krypton) is first at the scene, and his introduction to the car’s owner, GP Sasha Cookson (Jenn Murray, Brooklyn), suggests there may be a personal storyline ahead as well. Across the season’s eight episodes, Inspector Eve Dunlop (Tara Lynne O’Neill, Derry Girls) faces strain in her private life when her husband, Detective Luke Jackson (Marcus Onilude, Ted Lasso), is seen with another woman, while secrets involving her friend Marlene (Kerri Quinn, Say Nothing) add to the pressure. Eight 45-minute episodes, one per week.

Mansfield Park (1999)

In this adaptation of ‘Mansfield Park', Fanny Price (Frances O’Connor, Mr. Selfridge) is sent from her poor family to live with wealthy relatives at their country estate, where her lower status is never entirely forgotten. Intelligent, observant, and gifted as a writer, she grows up surrounded by privilege while remaining somewhat apart from it.

As she comes of age, Fanny is encouraged toward a respectable match with a prosperous neighbor, but she is not easily shaped by the expectations of those around her. With her sharp mind and strong sense of self, she quietly resists the pressures of family, class, and convention. This version of the story gives Fanny a more outspoken presence while keeping the focus on the social tensions, romantic complications, and moral choices at the heart of Jane Austen’s novel. 120 minutes.

March 12th Premieres

This Farming Life, Season 8

This long-running series returns to follow the daily lives of farmers and crofters as they manage the demands of working the land through changing seasons. As before, the series looks at both the practical side of farming and the family life that surrounds it, from livestock and weather challenges to long days, hard decisions, and moments of celebration. 12 hour-long episodes in total, released weekly.

March 18th Premieres

The Lady (2025)

This drama tells the story of Jane Andrews (Mia McKenna-Bruce, ‘Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials'), a former royal dresser whose rise into Britain’s upper social circles ended with a murder conviction. Originally from Grimsby, Jane came from a working-class background and surprised friends and family when she answered an ad in ‘The Lady' and was hired as dresser to the Duchess of York.

Her position brought her into the world of Buckingham Palace and high society, where she built a very different life for herself over nine years in royal service. After losing her job, Jane struggled with the change in circumstances and later began a relationship with businessman Thomas Cressman (Ed Speleers, ‘You'). As problems developed in the relationship, the situation led to fatal consequences. Four hour-long episodes in total, one released each week for four weeks.

March 27th Premieres

The Wrong Mans (2013 to 2014)

James Corden and Mathew Baynton star as two ordinary office workers who find themselves pulled into a criminal mess after a chance encounter puts them in possession of information they were never meant to have. What starts as an accidental brush with danger quickly turns into a chain of kidnappings, threats, and increasingly implausible attempts to stay in control of the situation.

Blending comedy with thriller elements, the series follows the pair as they stumble deeper into trouble while trying to act far more capable than they really are. Corden plays the more enthusiastic and impulsive half of the duo, while Baynton’s character is the more hesitant one, though neither is remotely prepared for what they have stepped into. All 10 half-hour episodes (across two seasons) will be released as a binge premiere.
