It’s 2026 and we’re bringing in the New Year with an all-new slate of exciting entertainment. Kelly Reilly and Rafe Spall star in Under Salt Marsh, a gripping new Sky Original drama, set in an unassuming Welsh coastal town that’s ripped apart by an unspeakable crime. Also this January, Rob and Romesh are joining forces with Team GB to try their hands at winter sports in Rob & Romesh vs Winter Olympics. And we’re heading one hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones to meet Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg in a new tale from George R.R. Martin – A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Over on Sky Cinema, we’re back in the terrifying world impacted by the Rage virus outbreak as director Danny Boyle presents 28 Years Later, and if the kids haven’t quite acclimatised to the Christmas come-down, we’ve got the premiere of Smurfs to keep the party going.
Under Salt Marsh
Under Salt Marsh is a limited series from writer, creator, and executive producer Claire Oakley, set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, a tight-knit community precariously nestled between towering mountains and a fast-encroaching sea that threatens its very existence.
As a once-in-a-generation storm begins to gather far out at sea, former detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis (Kelly Reilly) discovers the body of her 8-year-old pupil, Cefin, seemingly drowned. The discovery sends shockwaves through the community, reviving the ghost of an unsolved cold case that rocked the town three years prior – the disappearance of Jackie’s niece, Nessa, which cost her career. Cefin’s death summons Jackie’s former partner, Detective Eric Bull (Rafe Spall), back to Morfa Halen to lead the investigation into a community he failed once before. Convinced the cases are linked, Jackie and Bull must reconcile and race to uncover long-buried secrets inside Morfa, before the storm breaks and all the evidence is gone for good.
An intimate and cinematic story, Under Salt Marsh takes audiences into the heart of a community bound by nature and fractured by an unthinkable crime.
