The channel was announced on 28 July 2021 to replace Sky One, which had been on air for nearly 40 years.[2][3] It broadcasts the entertainment and drama output previously shown on Sky One - the comedy output, for the most part, transferred to Sky Comedy.[4][5][6] An Italian version of Sky Max called Sky Serie launched on 1 July 2021 with significant different programming.
