SBS is thrilled to reveal a collection of highly anticipated world-class drama series coming to the network next month. From reimaginings and reboots to relentless revenge thrillers, SBS continues to bring Australian audiences original, must-see dramas from around the world.

Party of Five

A reimagining of the original cult classic from the 1990s starring Scott Wolf, Matthew Fox, Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt. In this new iteration by original series creators Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser, this beloved story of a young family bound by adversity will be retold through the lens of current-day themes and cultural conversations. Party of Five follows the five Acosta children – Emilio, Lucia, Beto, Valentina and baby Rafa – as they navigate daily life struggles to survive as a family unit after their parents are suddenly deported to Mexico.

Party of Five will air weekly on SBS VICELAND from 8:30pm Friday, 10 April. The entire season will drop at SBS On Demand on Friday, 10 April.

The Good Fight

Put on your power suit because Christine Baranski (The Good Wife) returns in the critically acclaimed series The Good Fight. The fourth season finds Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart navigating a very different landscape. After they lost their biggest client, Chumhum, and their founding partner’s name was tarnished, Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart were forced to accept an offer by a huge multi-national law firm, STR Laurie, to become a small subsidiary. While STR Laurie initially seem like benevolent overlords, Diane Lockhart and her colleagues are chafing at their loss of independence. The Good Fight also stars Cush Jumbo, Audra McDonald, Sarah Steele, Michael Boatman, Nyambi Nyambi, Zach Grenier, John Larroquette and Delroy Lindo. Hugh Dancy has joined season four in a recurring role. 

The Good Fight season 4 will not go to air on Thursday, 16 April as previously advertised. It will be coming to SBS in 2020. Keep your eye on for updates.

Reprisal

Described by as “hyperactive, colourful, pulpy and crazy, a thing in which no comparison exactly does it justice,” revenge noir thriller Reprisal stars Abigail Spencer (Grey’s Anatomy, Suits) and Australian actor Rhys Wakefield (The Black Balloon, True Detective). Years after being dragged behind a truck and left for dead by her brother and his gang, Katherine Harlow (Abigail Spencer), sets out to take revenge.

Reprisal will premiere with a double episode on SBS at 8:30pm Wednesday, 22 April. 

Fargo

Comedian Chris Rock joins the fourth season of the Emmy-winning anthology series Fargo. Returning with a brand-new storyline and a brand-new cast, Fargo is set in Kansas City Missouri, and will follow two criminal syndicates that have struck an uneasy peace. One Italian, one African American. Together they control an alternate economy of exploitation and drugs. To cement their peace, the heads of both families trade their eldest sons. Fargo also stars Jack Huston, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, Jessie Buckley and Salvatore Esposito.

Fargo season 4 will no longer premiere on Wednesday 22 April, due to the suspension of production during the COVID-19 pandemic. SBS will advise the program's premiere date in due course.
