DEAD TO ME

If you’ve “been dying” to see this series return, you’ll be glad to know that Season 2 premieres on 8 May with another stunner of a plot.

LUCIFER

Yes, the devilishly good-looking Lucifer is back for Part 2 of Season 5 on 28 May.

BAYWATCH

Think fit, drug busting lifeguards as opposed to the ”cheesy” 90’s TV series and you could come close to the transformation of this iconic series.

OXYGEN

It’s the stuff of nightmares!
