What’s leaving Sky and NOW TV in May / June 2018?
David Farnor | On 21, May 2018
The end of May means a Bank Holiday bonanza, with four-day weeks beckoning you to spend more time on the sofa. And there’s good reason to, as a number of gems leave Sky, from Westworld and High Maintenance to Darkplace.
Sky Cinema, meanwhile, is waving goodbye to a diverse array of movies, from Ghostbusters and The Sixth Sense to the immortal Space Jam.
Not a Sky customer? You can get access to both Sky Box Sets and Sky Cinema through contract-free streaming service NOW, which costs £8.99 a month (for an Entertainment Membership, including Sky 1, Sky Atlantic, SYFY, FOX UK and more), or £9.99 a month for the whole Sky Cinema catalogue.
Whichever you subscribe to, this coming month is your last chance to stream the following:
