Sky Atlantic is a British pay television channel owned by Sky Group Limited that launched in 2011 and broadcasts in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The channel airs original British-produced dramas like Fortitude, Tin Star, and Gangs of London but is primarily dedicated to imported programmes from the United States. It has held the domestic rights to HBO programming since 2011, which is set to expire in early 2026, and has previously held the domestic rights to Showtime programming from 2016 to 2021. It is exclusively available on the Sky satellite TV platform (including Sky Go and Now).
Sky Deutschland broadcasts a German-language version of the channel in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, while Sky Italia broadcasts an Italian-language version of the channel in Italy. Their programming is also dominated by acquired series, usually dubbed in the domestic language. The Italian channel also premieres Sky Originals produced in the country, like Gomorrah, The Young Pope, and ZeroZeroZero.
