Here are some of the great programs coming to Stan starting from the end of this month through to May 2020.
Normal People (April 27th)
“Based on The New York Times Bestseller, Normal People tracks the tender but complicated relationship of Marianne and Connell from the end of their school days in a small-town west of Ireland to their undergraduate years at Trinity College. At school, he’s well-liked and popular, while she’s lonely, proud and intimidating. But when Connell comes to pick up his mother from her cleaning job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers – one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying in Dublin and Marianne has found her feet in a new social world, but Connell hangs at the side lines, shy and uncertain.”

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (April 26th)
“The next instalment in the Penny Dreadful saga stars Natalie Dormer, Nathan Lane, Rory Kinnear and Daniel Zovatto in a twisting, supernatural crime caper set in 1938 Los Angeles – a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega and his partner Lewis Michener become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city’s first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart.”

The Great (May 16th)
“Written and created by Oscar-nominated Australian writer Tony McNamara (The Favourite) and starring Elle Fanning (Maleficent) and Nicholas Hoult (Stan Original Film True History of the Kelly Gang, X-Men Franchise), The Great is a satirical drama about the rise of Catherine the Great from outsider to the longest reigning female ruler in Russia’s history. A fictionalised, fun and anachronistic story of an idealistic, romantic young girl, who arrives in Russia for an arranged marriage to the mercurial Emperor Peter – this comedic series sees Catherine immersed in a depraved and backward world that she quickly resolves to change. All she has to do is kill her husband, beat the church, baffle the military and get the court onside”
