The broadcaster has secured exclusive UK rights to The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a US spin off of the Terminator films starring British actress Lena Headey.
The channel will also show Star Trek franchise.
A new commission is The Leo Houlding Project from Ginger Productions, in which sports ace Leo gives an adrenalin rush to people in need of excitement.
Director of programming for the channel, Celia Taylor, said the programmes "were only the beginning". The free-to-air channel is due to launch in the autumn.
