What to watch in Week 20

Unravel the mystery… or your sanity. FROM returns to Sky One and NOW.

‌FROM
The Arrival – Season 4, episode 1

FROM unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.
In Season Four, the closer the residents of town get to the answers they seek, the more terrifying their search becomes. Who is the Man in Yellow, and what does he want? Will Jade and Tabitha’s revelation be the key to finally going home? How much longer can Boyd hold the town together, even as his body and mind are falling apart? And what role will the town’s most recent arrival play in the events to come? Season Four will open doors that some in town will end up wishing had remained closed.

Featuring contributions from Ralph Fiennes, Kate Mosse, Percival Everett, Marlon James, Alexis Albion, William Boyd, and Ian Fleming biographer Nicholas Shakespeare. Excerpts from the books are read by Helena Bonham Carter (Harry Potter, Fight Club, Sweeney Todd).​​​​
