15th Century historical epic
Rise of the Raven
**Australian Premiere** **Box Set Drop**
Thursday, 12 February 2026 on SBS On Demand (10 episodes)
The story of Janos Hunyadi (Gellért L. Kádár) is the epic tale of a modest hero who against all odds, vanquished the much larger Ottoman army and halted its drive to conquer the Vatican and overrun Western Europe. In so doing, Hunyadi not only shaped the history of Hungary, but all of Europe. This 10-episode mini-series set in the 15th century is based on the bestselling Hungarian novels by Mór Bán.
With a visually striking contemporary approach, the series chronicles Hunyadi’s lifelong struggle against the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire as well as his enemies at home. It all culminates in Hunyadi’s climactic victory against seemingly insurmountable odds when he defeats the invading Ottoman army at the siege of Nandorfehervar (contemporary Belgrade), a triumph that forever altered the fate of Europe.
The series is produced by Robert Lantos, and directed by Academy Award Nominated director Robert Dornhelm, Orsi Nagypál and Attila Szász, with showrunner Balázs Lengyel.

Rambo, Napoleon and Pippi Long Stocking – all rolled into one – and she lives next door!
When Ditte Jensen (Trine Dyrholm, Queen Of Hearts, Margrete: Queen Of The North, Face To Face on SBS On Demand) retires with honours from the Danish Secret Service, she moves into an apartment block in Reykjavik, where she plans to tend to her garden and live out her life in anonymity. But Ditte cannot stop being who she is: an elite soldier and a warrior. Soon, the apartment building becomes a battlefield for a better world. With her deep-rooted sense of justice, she sees her neighbours’ problems and feels compelled to help – whether they want her help or not. And in her world, the end justifies the means. Always.
Written and Directed by Benedikt Erlingsson (Woman at War) and co-written by Ólafur Egill Egilsson.
Fun fact: On top of being a wonderful actress, Trine Dyrholm is also a musician! She was among the top nominees to represent Denmark at Eurovision in the 80s when she was only 14 years old. Thankfully The Danish Woman allows ample time for her to flex her musical talents. Each episode begins and ends with a song and dance from the actress and supporting cast in wonderful moments of near magical realism.
