What Shows and Categories Can I Browse on LumoTV?

Updated

LumoTV (lumotv.co.uk) is a deaf-led streaming platform for sign language users and sign-presented content, and its catalogue is browsable by category rather than by a single genre. You can filter the library into New & Trending, Drama, Entertainment, Factual, Children, Comedy, Sport, Deaflympics, Shorts, Box Sets, LumoTV Gold, and A to Z, then open individual series or standalone titles from there.

How the categories are organised

The filter bar on the site lists these options:

Category What it suggests you'll find
New & Trending Recently added or currently promoted titles
Drama Scripted series and films
Entertainment Game shows, competitions, light formats
Factual Non-fiction and documentary-style content
Children Younger-audience programming
Comedy Comic series and shorts
Sport Sports coverage
Deaflympics Deaflympics-related content
Shorts Short-form video
Box Sets Multi-episode series grouped together
LumoTV Gold A separate branded collection
A to Z Alphabetical browse of the full catalogue

The presence of both "Shorts" and "Box Sets" means the platform mixes one-off or short pieces with longer multi-episode runs, so you can choose between a quick watch and a full series.

Examples of titles you can browse

The homepage currently surfaces a mix of episodic competition shows and standalone dramas:

  • Sign2Win Series 4 — an episodic game/competition format. Individual episodes are listed separately, including a school special with teams from Oak Lodge, Thomasson Memorial School for the Deaf, and St. Roch; a primary schools episode competing for £1,000; an episode with three sets of twins; one with three pairs of close friends; one with a team of best friends, a mother and daughter, and a married couple; and a series finale with three teams. Prize amounts of £1,000 appear in several episode descriptions.
  • Eremos Trilogy — listed as a 2026 drama, described as "Solitude Binds Them. Truth Breaks Them." and marked as coming on 9th October 2026.
  • Ode to Seventeen — a drama about a 17-year-old, Hana, waiting at a London bus stop at midnight and meeting a stranger; it deals with identity, time, memory, and healing.
  • My Mother's Spices — a drama about a deaf British-Sri Lankan woman who returns to her childhood home after her mother is hospitalised and re-creates a family recipe.
  • Deaf Jams — a box set with episodes such as "Episode 1: Dance With Me" and "Episode 2: Access A…".
  • Hold My Hand — listed as a box set.

Several of these entries carry a "Watch" or "Play Trailer" action, so some titles can be previewed by trailer before you commit to watching.

Series vs. standalone titles

Two browsing patterns are worth knowing:

  • Episodic series such as Sign2Win Series 4 and Deaf Jams list episodes individually, so you can pick a specific episode rather than starting at the beginning.
  • Standalone dramas and shorts such as Ode to Seventeen and My Mother's Spices appear as single titles, often with a trailer.

If you want a long watch, start with Box Sets or a full series; if you want something short, use Shorts or open a single drama.

Practical notes

  • The site describes itself as "the world's leading deaf-led streaming platform for sign language users and sign-presented content," so the catalogue is built around sign-presented programming rather than captioned mainstream content.
  • Category names and titles above come from the site's own listings; availability and scheduling can change, and Eremos Trilogy is dated for 9th October 2026 rather than being available now.
  • The site's listings do not state pricing or whether an account is required, so check the platform directly before assuming free or open access.
