With Westworld, The Young Pope and The Walking Dead already filling up their viewing calendar every week, you’d think that Sky customers couldn’t ask for more this November, but more is what’s on the way, as DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns to join Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl on Sky 1, Haywell Atwell puts down her Agent Carter hat for new crime drama Conviction and The Affair’s third season also looms on the horizon.

Sky Cinema, meanwhile, is getting ready for Christmas already with festive outings Krampus, The Night Before and snow-bound epic The Revenant. Don’t have Sky? You can get Sky TV live and on-demnad through VOD service NOW for £6.99 a month, no contract, and Sky Cinema for £9.99 a month. For more information, click here.

Sky Cinema
