Sky is introducing a new offering in 2026, called the Ultimate plan, which combines premium channels like Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Documentaries with Netflix and Disney+ for a single monthly fee. Additionally, the upcoming HBO Max will be included, offering a variety of popular shows on demand at no extra charge. Later this year, subscribers will also have access to Hayu, presenting a diverse range of reality TV content to audiences in the UK.
Ahead of the full Hayu launch set for July, Sky has pleasantly surprised fans with an early preview named “Taste of Hayu.” This preview provides viewers with over 150 episodes from some of Hayu’s most sought-after franchises, including Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Vanderpump Rules.
The “Taste of Hayu” preview is accessible to Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with the Ultimate TV package, as well as Sky Q and Sky+ users, allowing on-demand viewing of selected seasons.
When Hayu fully launches in July, it will unlock its complete library, granting reality TV enthusiasts access to hundreds of additional series. Moreover, new episodes of major shows will be available on the same day as their US release, all included in the Sky TV experience.
According to Sky, “Reality fans are in for a treat, with a selection of Hayu’s most talked-about shows now available to watch for Sky TV subscribers,” offering a glimpse of what’s to come before the full Hayu launch in July.
Hayu will join Netflix and Disney+ in the Ultimate package, with HBO Max arriving next week and full Hayu integration expected later in the year.
The new £24 package includes Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads (from March, date TBC), HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching in the UK & Ireland on 26 March), Hayu (full access from July, with preview content available from March), and over 130 Sky channels.
