Best New Series on Stan

This month on Stan Australia will see the return of fan favourites along with an Original Series debut. Highlights include the following.

Red Eye

Release date: Coming soon

We love ourselves a good plane-bound thriller but also wonder if the subgenre is better suited for a movie (as opposed to an episodic series). We’ll find out one way or the other when we tune in to this upcoming series, in which a London police officer (Jing Lusi) escorts a suspected criminal (Richard Armitage) back to Beijing on a commercial flight. As a conspiracy brews and the bodies start to drop, you know you’re in for a bumpy ride. Buckle up!

All American: Season 6

Release date: 2 April 2024

This acclaimed drama series is based on the adolescent years of former NFL player Spencer Paysinger, who co-produced and also stars. It reaps continuous conflict out of the disparity between two worlds: the one in which Paysinger grew up and the one of Beverly Hills, where he pursues his dreams. In season 6, the star athlete experiences further struggles as he tries to balance his budding career with various interpersonal relationships.

Walker: Season 4

Release date: 4 April 2024

How do we know that original Walker: Texas Ranger star Chuck Norris approves of this modern-day series adaptation? Because it still exists, that’s how! Season 4 follows Ranger Cordell Walker (Jared Padalecki) back to Austin in the wake of an undercover assignment. Upon reconnecting with his family and teaming up with a new female partner, the titular protagonist starts looking into the mysterious death of his wife.

Such Brave Girls

Release date: 18 April 2024

Indie entertainment company A24 produced this British sitcom about a lovable but dysfunctional family. Kat Sadler and real-life sister Lizzie Davidson play on-screen counterparts Josie and Billie, two insecure siblings who must navigate adolescence after their father picks up and leaves. Fully loaded with raucous comedy, it offers a compulsively watchable glimpse into the life of a single-parent household.

White Lies

Release date: 8 April 2024

This upcoming crime series drops viewers into the heart of Cape Town and then deeper still into the city’s dangerous underbelly. Its story centres on investigative journalist Edie Hansen, who’s searching for answers after her estranged brother is murdered in his own home. The victim’s children have emerged as the primary suspects but as Hansen soon discovers, there’s far more to this heinous crime than first meets the eye.

Sullivan’s Crossing: Season 2

Release date: 15 April 2024

In Season 1 of this Canadian drama series, neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) returned to Nova Scotia after her life was turned upside down by a workplace scandal. Season 2 will presumably pick up where things left off and further navigate the complicated relationship between Maggie and her father.

Senorita 89

Release date: 3 April 2024

All bets are off in this wild drama series, which pits various beauty queens against one another as they vie for the title of Miss Mexico. Season 2 goes down in the 1990s and introduces all kinds of new conflicts, as Miss Yucatan fights to keep her crown and two major TV networks engage in a vicious battle of their own.

Big Mood

Release date: 29 March 2024

This six-part British series offers a comedic look at some fairly heavy issues, including work-related stress and mental health. At the heart of the story are Maggie and Eddie, two lifelong companions whose friendship undergoes all kinds of modern challenges. Can the two besties keep it together in the face of intense pressures? Tune in to find out.

Best New Movies on Stan

Stan Australia is releasing a bounty of movies this month, including numerous licensed classics. Here are some quick highlights.

A Single Man

Release date: 3 April 2024

Fashion icon Tom Ford co-wrote and helmed this acclaimed drama and proved himself a formidable director in the process. Colin Firth stars as an English professor who’s grappling with serious depression after the death of his partner. As he puts his affairs in order and engages with an assortment of friends and colleagues, our protagonist must decide if his life is worth living.

The ‘Taken’ Franchise

Release date: 5 April 2024

Liam Neeson has a very particular set of skills and he damn well uses them in this beloved action franchise. The first entry is still the best by a wide margin and it sends our hero to Europe, where he races to save his daughter from a violent sex trafficking operation. Catch the entire trilogy this month on Stan to see a propulsive story get more outrageous—and more convoluted—as it evolves from one film to the next. Good luck!
