Looking for a respite from blockbuster fantasy TV shows? Gritty six-part political thriller Munich Games will land on Sky Atlantic and NOW this September.
Produced by Sky Deutschland, the new nail-biter is the latest from Michal Aviram, the writer of global TV hit Fauda, and stars Seyneb Saleh, Yousef Sweid, Sebastian Rudolph and Dov Glickman. It tells the story of two agents, one Israeli, the other German, who must work together to stop a terrorist attack 50 years after the Munich Massacre.
It’s 2022, and a friendly football match between an Israeli and a German team is planned as a mark of peace and respect for the victims of the 1972 terrorist attack. Police and secret services on all sides are on high alert to ensure the security of the event.
However, when Oren Simon, a Mossad agent stationed in Berlin, intercepts a message in a dark web forum, just days before the game, he is partnered with Maria Köhler, a German State Criminal Police officer, with Lebanese roots to ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself.

Martin Behnke is co-executive producer.
It’s been over five years since Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon last clinked glasses over grilled octopus and deadpan impressions in The Trip to Greece, and fans have been clamouring for one more course. Now, the duo is returning, thermals packed and egos intact, for The Trip to the Northern Lights, a brand-new six-part Sky…
It may be Air by name, but there’s nothing lightweight about Sky Glass Air. This new addition to Sky’s fully integrated TV with streaming service line-up squarely has its sights set on the mainstream market. A slick looking, smart flatscreen, it’s a good deal thinner than its stablemate, the Sky Glass Gen 2. Of course,…
