AMC+ sees Lodge 49, a light-hearted modern fable set in Long Beach, California, about a local ex-surfer, Dud, who, after the death of his father and the collapse of business, finds himself at a lodge where a plumbing salesman and “Luminous Knight” of the order, Ernie welcomes him into a world of cheap beer and the promise of Alchemical mysteries that may, or may not, put Dud on the path to recover his life.
A new documentary premiering on the 20th of September is Thick Skin. Four women in Philadelphia are forced to deal with social prejudice on the way the world views women of a
certain weight.
Adapted from the popular BBC 4 radio series, Mrs Sidhu Investigates follows Mrs Sidhu, a high-end caterer and “an Indian aunty” who solves mysteries and crime amongst the
affluent residents of Berkshire. Another murder investigation-type series is the British procedural drama London Kills. These will be available on both AMC+ and Acorn TV.
There will also be three new movie premieres on Shudder; Perpetrator, Elevator Game and The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster.
Perpetrator follows Jonny Baptiste, a reckless teen sent to live with her estranged Aunt Hildie. On the event of her 18th birthday, a family spell redefines her life, and The Elevator Game follows socially awkward teenager Ryan, who discovers that the night his sister disappeared, she had played ‘The Elevator Game’, a ritual conducted in an elevator in which players attempt to travel to another dimension.
Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster follows another brilliant teenager, Vicaria, who believes death is a disease that can be cured. After the brutal and sudden murder of her brother, she embarks on a dangerous journey to bring him back to life.
