All Episodes At Once

Senior Sergeant Arnold Kipps (Asa Butterfield) is having a totally sub-par day in suburbia. His ex-partner and ex-flame Ellie McKay (Megan Smart) has just returned to Nompton to shut down his police station, right when an ancient, evil force is awakened by the bloodthirsty Gnome Queen. Unleashing a nightmare horde of killer ceramic gnomes upon the unsuspecting town, Nompton is instantly plunged into pure, unadulterated chaos.

Armed with an array of unconventional weapons and sheer desperation, Arnold and Ellie must reunite a ragtag team of misfit cops, rebellious teens, and an overly ambitious mayor to stop the Gnome Queen’s rampage before the entire town gets dug up from the roots. Because these lawn ornaments aren't just angry, they’re out to smash faces and take names.

Gnomes stars Asa Butterfield (Sex Education) alongside beloved Australian stars Megan Smart (Class of '07), Matt Okine (Mother and Son, Stan Original The Other Guy), and Luke McGregor (Utopia).

Starring Academy Award®, BAFTA, and Tony Award-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago, Wednesday), Kill Jackie is the thrilling new revenge series based on the acclaimed novel The Price You Pay from Sunday Times best-selling author Nick Harkaway.

Jackie has been living a luxurious existence for the last twenty years – travelling the world, selling fine art and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler. But just as life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn when she discovers that The Seven Demons, a squad of the world’s most terrifying hitmen, have been hired to kill her.

From the creatives behind Killing Eve and Gangs of London, Kill Jackie is co-produced by Australia-based Steel Springs Pictures and Fremantle, with Australian filmmaker Peter Lawson (John Wick) as co-creator and executive producer.
