Sky have revealed its new and returning non-scripted programming slate airing this Autumn across its portfolio of channels.

A League Of Their Own

After fifteen years in the top-flight of TV, Sky’s much-loved sports comedy panel show is set for one final glorious season. Romesh Ranganathan will return to host the 20th anniversary series, alongside team captains Jamie Redknapp and Jill Scott, and series regular Micah Richards.

The 20th series will celebrate everything that has made the show such a hit — with more laugh-out-loud games, surprise guests and sporting chaos — all culminating in a joyful send-off to a truly iconic TV series.

Never Mind The Buzzcocks

The new series will see Greg Davies back at the helm as host with returning team captains, Noel Fielding and Sophie Willan, and regular panellist, Jamali Maddix, plus some surprise celebrity guest team captains for more themed specials.

Portrait Artist of the Year

Palettes prepped and canvases primed, the 12th series of Portrait Artist of the Year is ready to make a splash on Sky Arts, Freeview Channel 36 and NOW. The nation’s favourite art competition returns to the iconic Battersea Arts Centre for its twelfth series this Autumn, with much-loved host Stephen Mangan.

This year’s Portrait Artist of the Year promises a thrilling showcase of talent as aspiring artists from across the UK vie for the coveted 2025 title. Over eight intense heats, these artists will put their skills to the test, aiming to dazzle our expert judges—Tai Shan Schierenberg, Kathleen Soriano, and Kate Bryan—and prove they have what it takes to capture the essence of their famous subjects.

The Battle of the Irish Dancers

New Sky Original, The Battle of the Irish Dancers, coming later this year, follows a cast of dedicated dancers and their teachers on the road to the Championships, spotlighting a dance form which requires the strength, endurance and agility of an Olympian.

Airing on Sky Arts, the three-part series celebrates Irish dancing as a life-enhancing art form requiring the skill and discipline of a professional athlete. Follow the dancers as they strive for excellence in the biggest competition of their careers and discover how a small island produced a pastime that became a global phenomenon, making its mark on Australia, America, Asia and Russia and finding its way to Broadway and the West End.

Who Killed Goldfinger? (w/t)

On June 24th, 2015, one of Britain’s most notorious criminals, John “Goldfinger” Palmer was found dead in his Essex garden. While police originally believed he died of natural causes, they eventually confirmed the case was being treated as a professional hit. 28 years earlier, Palmer had been acquitted for his part in the infamous Brink’s Mat robbery, where he melted down millions worth of gold from the £26 million raid to sell on.

He amassed a fortune so big, at one point he was ranked alongside the Queen in the Sunday Times Rich List but was finally jailed for timeshare fraud in 2001. As the 10th anniversary of his unsolved murder approaches, this new series re examines his life and death, featuring exclusive testimony from some of Palmer's closest associates and family members, speaking for the first time.

Private investigations firm TMEye – fresh from reinvestigating the Essex Boys murder case, which assisted in launching the CCRC to review the convictions – will lead viewers on a hunt spanning multiple countries before finally unmasking their prime suspect.

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
