Sheridan Smith Takes Over As Mint Tv Show Ends Monday Night

One is moving mint tv show out of its Monday 9pm slot on May 11. The final two episodes of Mint will air that night, and The Cage will take over the same position next week.

Sheridan Smith stars in The Cage as Leanne, one of two casino workers planning to steal from the same vault. The replacement drama has been screening at weekends, and its fifth and concluding episode will be broadcast on Monday, May 18, at 9pm.

Sam Riley and the Glasgow family

Mint has spent recent weeks airing two episodes each Monday evening, following a Glasgow crime family and Sam Riley’s Dylan, who has broken away from both his relatives and the criminal enterprise. That gives One a clean handoff: one crime drama finishes its run, and another moves into the same prime-time slot without leaving the schedule open.

The shift also narrows the comparison between the two shows. Mint leans into a Glasgow family story, while The Cage is set around a Liverpool casino and a single theft plan, so the channel is not just swapping titles; it is changing the kind of crime drama it wants viewers to meet on Monday nights.

Sheridan Smith at 9pm

The Cage also brings in Michael Socha, Barry Sloane, Geraldine James, and Sue Jenkins. Smith gives the series the clearest commercial hook, while the ensemble and the vault-heist setup give One a cleaner pitch than a slow-burn family drama closing out its run.

Mint is available to watch on iPlayer, so the end of its broadcast run does not remove it from the platform. The practical takeaway for viewers is simple: finish Mint on Monday, May 11, then move to The Cage at 9pm on Monday, May 18 if they want the replacement in the same weekly slot.
