Epic fantasy
Britannia (Seasons 1-3)
Box Set
Sunday, 1 March 2026 on SBS On Demand (27 episodes)
43AD. At the far edges of the Roman Empire lies a land of powerful Druids and warrior queens. A country Julius Caesar had tried and failed to conquer a hundred years ago. A place which lies tantalisingly close to the Roman Empire’s grasp and has almost mythic status: Britannia.
The Romans’ arrival will forever change the lives of the Celts and Druids. Under General Aulus (David Morrissey, Daddy Issues on SBS On Demand), 400 ships containing 20,000 men land on Britannia’s shores in the name of the Roman Emperor Claudius (Steve Pemberton). They will take the island and anything they want from it. Britannia will be conquered. Britannia will be ‘civilised’. But since when did anyone want to be civilised?
Britannia was created by Jez Butterworth (James Bond: Spectre, Ford v Ferrari), Tom Butterworth (Tin Star) and James Richardson (Monsters 2010). The supporting cast includes Mackenzie Crook (The Office, Detectorists, Pirates of the Caribbean) Zoë Wanamaker (Harry Potter series), and Kelly Reilly (Yellowstone).
Three seasons of Britannia not enough? Check out our Bingeable Box Set collection on SBS On Demand and you’ll never have to worry about what to watch next ever again.
Powerful true story
Prisoner 951
Australian Premiere Weekly Episodes
Wednesday, 4 March 2026 on SBS On Demand (5 episodes)
Prisoner 951 is a new drama based on the extraordinary true story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe (Narges Rashidi), a British-Iranian citizen who was imprisoned and held hostage by the Iranian state for six years, and her husband Richard Ratcliffe (Joseph Fiennes) who campaigned for justice and her return.
Torn from her baby daughter and accused of espionage, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe faces years of imprisonment in Iran. Thousands of miles away, in London, her husband Richard refuses to give up hope. When it is revealed that Nazanin is a pawn in a decades-old political dispute, Richard is forced to battle tyranny abroad and seeming indifference at home. Spanning six harrowing years, this powerful true story charts one family’s extraordinary courage and resilience: a mother’s nightmare, a husband’s mission, and a family’s unbreakable bond.
With exclusive access to Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe and Richard Ratcliffe, as well as other former hostages, Anoosheh Ashoori and his daughter Elika Ashoori, Kylie Moore-Gilbert, Jason Rezaian and global experts, the documentary The Hostage’s Story offers a rare, inside look at the toll of being used as leverage in political negotiations between states. Witness the true story that Prisoner 951 is based on.
Prisoner 951 will be available to stream free on SBS On Demand from 4 March, and will air weekly on SBS, Wednesdays at 9.25pm.
Smash-hit series returns
The Hospital: In The Deep End (Season 2)
World Premiere ** Weekly Episodes**
Thursday, 5 March 2026 on SBS On Demand (3 episodes)
In the compelling new season of The Hospital: In the Deep End, three new iconic Australians step onto the frontline where the stakes are high, and compassion is critical. The series return expands its lens to explore a wider range of departments than ever before across not one, but two of the busiest and most well-known hospitals in the country.
Award-winning food journalist, best-selling cookbook author, radio presenter and international TV personality Matt Preston, former professional tennis player, broadcaster and public speaker Jelena Dokic, and Hollywood actor, producer, and activist Ruby Rose, each arrive with a deeply personal connection to the public health system, but nothing has prepared them for the emotional and eye-opening experiences ahead.
Returning to St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, and, for the first time, St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, the series has unprecedented access to the inner workings of these two major public hospitals. It’s an unfiltered, intimate glimpse beyond the hospital corridors, where raw vulnerability and strength meet in life-changing moments, taking audiences inside the pressure points testing our health system. From the high stress environment of the operating theatre to the emotional toll of treating the critically ill to occupational violence, the series bears witness to the extraordinary challenges frontline staff face every single day.
The Hospital: In The Deep End (Season 2) airs Thursdays from 5 March at 8:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand. The first season of the series is available to stream free now on SBS On Demand.

Quirky ‘90s drama
Northern Exposure (Seasons 1-6)
Box Set
Sunday, 19 March 2026 on SBS On Demand (110 episodes)
The Emmy-winning series might have been unavailable to audiences for years, but its warm-hearted charms are ready to be discovered again. The series stars Rob Morrow (Quiz Show, Numbers) as a recent med school graduate who owes four years of medical service to Alaska because of a condition of his student loans. After relocating to the remote town of Cicely to settle his debt, it isn’t long before the brash New York City native realises the unique eccentricities of the town’s inhabitants. While the show was nominally premised on the fish out of water conflict between Fleischman’s big city ways and the small-town mores of the Cicely residents, its focus shifted to dive more deeply into the quirky personalities of the eccentric townsfolk.
Northern Exposure had an indelible impact on TV and culture at large. It laid the groundwork for offbeat series like Gilmore Girls and Schitt’s Creek. It featured one of TV’s first gay weddings and was lauded for its nuanced and celebratory depiction of Native American characters, informed by consultants and cast members. Its impact even extends into music with Bon Iver deriving his stage name from a phrase he heard during his binge of the series while he was sick with glandular fever.
It’s a hilarious and beautifully written dramedy also starring John Corbett (United States of Tara on SBS On Demand, Sex and the City) and Janine Turner (Steel Magnolias, Cliffhanger).
Northern Exposure Seasons 1-6 will be available to stream on SBS On Demand.

Heartfelt Australian family drama
Homebodies
SBS Original World Premiere Box Set*
Tuesday, 28 March 2026 on SBS On Demand (6 episodes)
Starring Claudia Karvan, Luke Wiltshire, Jazi Dall and Roxie Mohebbi.
When trans man Darcy reluctantly returns to his regional hometown Torwoo to care for his estranged mother Nora, he’s shocked to discover that she has secretly been living with Dee, the ghost of his pre-transition self – who manifested two years earlier.
Nora hopes Darcy’s arrival might help them all move forward. Trapped in the house with her mum, Dee is a powder keg of teen emotions, which manifest in flickering lights and electrical short circuits. However, Darcy and Dee clash, competing for their mother’s attention. On the outer, feeling replaced, Darcy accuses Nora of manifesting Dee.
Through a misguided exorcism, Darcy unwittingly unlocks Dee’s ability to leave the property, and she flees to town. He is horrified when he tracks her down and discovers that she can now be seen by others. This ghost is becoming more and more real, but he is slowly losing his own reflection. Is Darcy at risk of fading altogether?
