What’s leaving Sky and NOW TV in October / November 2020?
David Farnor | On 26, Oct 2020
Sky’s growing number of original shows and ever-expanding catalogue of blockbusters is ideal for keeping your days and nights occupied, but before you break open new box sets or devour some big-hitting films, don’t miss your chance to catch some modern gems before their rights expire and they depart.
That means taking care not to miss out some of Sky’s original shows, such as The Third Day and I Hate Suzie, or exclusive shows such as Lovecraft Country. Or, if you’ve got Sky Cinema, don’t miss some superhero fun in the form of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, Aquaman and The Matrix trilogy.
This is your last chance to stream the following:
TV
The Walking Dead: Season 1 to 10 – 31st October
Don’t miss your chance to catch up with AMC’s zombie smash hit from the beginning.
Fortitude: Season 1 and 2 – 6th November
Sky Atlantic’s Arctic thriller is stuffed with dark horror and atmospheric suspense, all set against a beautifully chilling backdrop.
Upright: Season 1 – 6th November
Written by and starring critically acclaimed musician, comedian, actor, writer and director Tim Minchin, Upright, follows two misfits thrown together by chance in the middle of the Australian desert, who forge the unlikeliest of bonds in their quest to get a precious piano from one side of the country to the other.
Lovecraft Country: Season 1 – 18th November
HP Lovecraft, a sci-fi/horror legend whose gothic imagination was only outshone by his horribly racist views. Tellingly based on Matt Ruff’s novel of the same name, rather than Lovecraft’s work directly, HBO’s new series is a riposte to the author’s influence, both in terms of genre and more insidious social nastiness. Misha Green’s blend of pulp thrills and human horror is a playful exploration of American prejudice with real promise.
The Third Day – 19th November
The latest mind-bending drama from Dennis Kelly, centred around a mysterious island where reality and fiction are blurred, is an intriguingly atmospheric watch – and we’re not just talking about the 12-hour live theatrical event broadcast on Sky Arts yesterday. The final 3-parter (starring Naomie Harris) starts this Tuesday, with the first 3-parter (starring Jude Law) available on-demand,
I Hate Suzie: Season 1 – 14th November
This excruciatingly honest eight-part series from Billie Piper is a bold, unflinching piece of TV.

Sorry To Bother You – 14th November
Boots Riley’s absurdly shrewd satire of modern society is a wildly unpredictable, entertaining ride.
Aquaman – 20th November
