Eleven’s prison drama STAGS will be available to stream in the U.S. on PlayStation Plus from February 11, Sony has confirmed.

The series will be available for current PlayStation Plus subscribers only via the PS4 and PS5 console’s Sony Pictures Core app. The whole six-episode first series will be available to stream until March 24.

STAGS follows groom-to-be Stu and his friends on his stag party in South America. What was meant to be a week of drink, drugs, and fun turns dark as airport security discovers that one of the stags is smuggling cocaine. Instead of boarding a plane, the group is thrown into a notorious and depraved prison island run by two warring, drug-dealing siblings and it becomes clear that the stags need to pick a side if they have any chance of survival. Friendships are tested and life-long loyalty is sacrificed as Stu and his friends begin to question, who will make it home?
