Halloween might be over, but the terror is only just beginning for the residents of Derry, Maine.

The cursed setting of Stephen King's It is revisited in a horrifying new series streaming exclusively on NOW in the UK, which sees Bill Skarsgård reprise his iconic incarnation of Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

In a treat for fans of the novelist, It: Welcome to Derry also draws intriguing connections with other works, including meaningfully expanding on a fleeting mention of The Shining's Dick Halloran (played here by Chris Chalk).

For a change of pace, the platform is also hosting buzzy, offbeat comedy series The Chair Company, which stars I Think You Should Leave co-creator Tim Robinson as a corporate middle manager wrapped up in a bizarre investigation.

NOW is also home to widely discussed dramas The Last of Us and The Day of the Jackal, plus highly decorated comedy Hacks, with gritty crime thriller Gangs of London among the British originals to choose from.

If you're looking for further inspiration for shows to watch on NOW, you've come to the right place – scroll on for our top picks, spanning recent releases and all-time greats.
