Sky has taken the wraps off a new film channel for Sky Cinema subscribers, dubbed Sky Cinema Sky-Fi.
As the name suggests, the new channel will be dedicated to the science-fiction genre – blending all-time classics with some of the latest genre releases.
The dedicated channel is available at no extra cost to Sky Cinema customers, which is available at £10 per month.
The Sky-Fi channel will debut this weekend, Saturday September 9th. It will run until Sunday October 8th.
Sky has a number of these seasonal movie channels planned for the upcoming year – including dedicated channels for Halloween and Christmas planned.
The Sky-Fi channel follows the success of Sky Cinema Oscars in February to Sky Cinema Fast and Furious in April.
Also available to viewers On Demand and on NOW TV, the Sky-Fi collection includes the entire Star Wars series – featuring The Force Awakens and 2016’s Rogue One.
The movie collection will also boast all 10 original Star Trek movies, and Steven Spielberg classics such as Close Encounters of The Third Kind and Minority Report.
James Cameron’s The Terminator is also included in the line-up, alongside the Back to the Future trilogy.
Ahead of the theatrical release of Blade Runner 2049, the channel will also feature the theatrical version of Ridley Scott’s iconic Blade Runner, as well as a special programme looking ahead to the new film.
Sky Cinema Group Director Ian Lewis said: “Sky Cinema Sky-Fi will bring together all that’s great about the genre, from iconic franchises such as Star Wars and Star Trek, to classics such as Blade Runner and Close Encounters.
“It is another innovative offering for our customers bringing the sci-fi genre to life, re-affirming our position as the UK and Ireland’s leading in-home movies service.”
