PAWN STARS

Brand New | Thursdays from 28 September at 21:00

Pawn Stars brings viewers inside the doors of a family-run pawnshop in Las Vegas, where three generations of men from the Harrison family grandfather Richard, son Rick and grandson Corey jointly run the business, with clashing and camaraderie every step of the way.

CURSE OF SKINWALKER RANCH

Brand New | Thursdays from 7 September at 21:45

While most look to the stars for extra-terrestrial life, one group of researchers is doing the opposite: they're looking underground. For more than 200 years, Utah's Skinwalker Ranch has been the site of hundreds of paranormal and UFO activities. Despite decades of study, some secretly funded by the U.S. government, no one has dared to go below ground.

Now, the legendary ranch is giving full access as a team prepares to do what's never been done before. S4 (15x60)

DARK MARVELS: KILLING MACHINES

SECRET SOCIETIES: IN THE SHADOWS

Brand New | Tuesdays from 26 September at 21:45

Around the world, and throughout history, secret societies have simmered under the surface. In crypts and clubhouses, under lock and key, in the darkest corners of the internet, they assemble for their own mysterious purposes.

Secret Societies: In the Shadows delves deep into the murky history of some of these secret societies: the Knights Templar, the Freemasons, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Illuminati, the Skull and Bones, and Le Cercle. What were their origins, and their intent? Did they pull the levers of power, or aim to destroy those in charge? Most importantly, what may be left of these organisations? Is it possible that some groups, however archaic, are still operating in the shadows? (6x60)

ATLANTIS FOUND

Sunday 3 September at 18:00
