On 6 January Sky 1 HD’s hit US dramas Hawaii Five-0 and NCIS: Los Angeles will return for their third and fourth seasons respectively, bringing with them some winter sun and high-octane drama.

After two successful seasons it is time for Sky customers to buckle up for a super-charged third season of Hawaii Five-0. The second season didn’t hold back in its finale, rattling off fiendish plot twists with relish. While Chin Ho (Daniel Dae Kim) was forced to choose between saving cousin Kono (Grace Park) and wife Malia (Reiko Aylesworth), Joe White (Terry O’Quinn) kept his word and told McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) who the mysterious Shelburne was: Doris McGarrett (Christine Lahti), the mother he thought was dead.

This season starts with quite a Hawaiian punch as it would be an understatement to say Mrs McGarrett has got some explaining to do in the season premiere, amid the drama of nemesis Wo Fat breaking out of prison. We also find Chin Ho in a very dark place. On the plus side, an eclectic gathering of guest stars have booked their tickets to Hawaii, including Oscar® nominee Terrence Howard, as a shadowy figure who has history with Danno (Golden Globe® nominee Scott Caan), and Star Trek legend George Taakei.

Also, coming up this January is the highly anticipated fourth series of NCIS: Los Angeles. Bulldozing expectations, the stakes were raised in the season three finale when Special Agent G Callen (Chris O’Donnell) went rogue and shot dead uber-villain The Chameleon (Christopher Lambert), with hopes of covering up his actions immediately dashed by the presence of a camera crew.

Picking up from this game-changing conclusion, season four explores the fallout from Callen’s decision and how it’s affected the team – will his bromance with Agent Hanna (LL Cool J) ever be the same again? Hetty (Linda Hunt), meanwhile, is struggling to adapt to life in retirement.

Hawaii Five-0 Season 3 and NCIS: Los Angeles Season 4 will begin on Sky 1 HD and Sky 1 on 6 January at 9pm and 10pm respectively
