SBS On Demand: new this week
The Audacity – 15 April
Series. Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, The Audacity takes on the warped dreams, outsized egos and ethical lapses of the self-styled inventors of the future. In a world of jaded billionaires, psychiatrist-gurus, bio-hacked tech bros, AI labs and disillusioned teens being optimised in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO (Billy Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. Through biting satire and wit, The Audacity confronts reality, privacy and the delusions fuelling our ever-changing world.
Starring Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg and Rob Corddry.
Dark Winds Season 4 – 16 April
Series. Dark Winds follows Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police as their reservation is besieged by a series of increasingly violent crimes in the 1970s. Every mystery uncovers old wounds that run deep, not only in their own lives, but in the collective past of the community they serve.
Each step closer to the truth forces the two men to confront their own personal demons, family trauma and evil forces that threaten the uneasy balance of reservation life.
SBS On Demand: recent highlights
Mastermind Season 8 – 6 April
Series. Hosted by Marc Fennell, TV’s hardest quiz show is back! This season, Mastermind begins with a special Family Week, where relatives go head-to-head in the famous black chair, testing not just their knowledge but the pride, rivalry, and shared passions that run in the family.

Mozart/Mozart – 9 April
Series. Bursting with opulence, modern beats and unforgettable images, this tale of ambition and deception gives voice to Mozart’s overlooked sister (Havana Joy Josephine Braun). From the producers of the international hit Sisi comes another iconic female figure for a global audience.
Fifteen years have passed since Maria Anna Mozart’s career as a ‘Wunderkind’ alongside her brother Amadeus (Eren M Güvercin) came to an end. None other than Maria Theresa – mother of Marie Antoinette – banished the young woman from the stage. Now Maria Anna works from behind the scenes, while her brother claims the spotlight for himself.
Riot Women – 2 April
Series. SBS has the exclusive Australian premiere of smash-hit UK drama series Riot Women, created by Sally Wainwright (Happy Valley). Riot Women is about a group of women who form a punk rock band – just for fun, just to enter a local talent contest, just to raise money for charity – but who discover in the course of rehearsing an ABBA song (badly) that they have a voice of their own.
Coroner Seasons 1-4 – 22 March
Series. This character-driven, one-hour procedural drama from Canada is based on the Jenny Cooper crime novels by M. R. Hall, following Dr Jenny Cooper (Serinda Swan), a recently widowed new coroner who investigates any suspicious, unnatural, or sudden deaths in Toronto.
Jenny taps into her intuition as much as her intellect and heart as she solves cases along with the help of Homicide Detective Donovan McAvoy (Roger Cross), a man who isn’t afraid of challenging status quo; pathologist Dr Dwayne Allen (Lovell Adams-Gray), his assistant River Baitz (Kiley May); and Alison Trent (Tamara Podemski), Jenny’s assistant who keeps it real.
And while Jenny solves mysterious deaths, she also deals with clinical anxiety, a teenage son, Ross (Ehren Kassam), who is still grieving the death of his father, and the prospect of starting a new relationship with the enigmatic Liam (Éric Bruneau), who is her neighbour and handyman.
