A new science fiction horror drama from Jack Bender and Jeff Pinkner, the\u00a0creators of Lost\u00a0\u2013 that US drama about plane-crash survivors trapped on a desert island\u00a0\u2013\u00a0has landed on Sky and NOW TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Titled From, the series is certainly quite Lost-like, and not just because it stars Harold Perrineau, the actor best known for appearing as one of the survivors in Lost. The premise is familiar too, revolving around an eerie town in which people get mysteriously trapped and haunted by horrifying creatures from the surrounding forest.<\/p>\n

The show\u00a0originally aired in the US on\u00a0Epix back in February 2022, but\u00a0was part of the\u00a0launch of new channel\u00a0Sky Sci-Fi \u2013 a rebrand of Sky\u2019s Syfy channel to clearly label its genre offerings \u2013 recently in the UK.<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch From in the UK.<\/p>\n

From became available to watch on new channel Sky Sci-Fi\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Sky\u2019s destination for fans of science fiction and a rebrand of the Syfy channel \u2013\u00a0from Tuesday 26th July 2022 <\/strong>in the UK.<\/p>\n

\n

It also became available to watch on demand, as well as on streaming service NOW, from 26th July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The series, which\u00a0originally aired in the US on\u00a0Epix back in February 2022, consists of 10 episodes, which are each around an hour long.<\/div>\n

What is From about?<\/b><\/h2>\n

From revolves around an unremarkable couple Jim and Tabitha Matthews who arrive in an eerie Midwestern town with their camper van and kids, Julie and Ethan, only to realise they might never be able to leave.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis reads: \u201cFrom unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter.\u201d<\/p>\n

It continues: \u201cAs 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 \u2013 including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Television Critics Association (TCA) panel for From earlier in 2022, Pinkner explained\u00a0how the audience reaction to Lost informed his approach when it came to the storytelling of From.<\/p>\n

He said (via\u00a0Slashfilm<\/a>):\u00a0\u201cI think that having done Lost and then taking the lessons of Lost, the storytelling lessons and sort of ran them through a filter [of] Fringe and tried to apply them here, I think we\u2019re approaching every season like its own chapter with its own questions and its own answers.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe show is sort of reinforcing and playing along with the audience\u2019s experience of the show\u2026 we\u2019re aware of what the audience is asking and looking for, and so being mindful of the questions and knowing that we have answers, and using all of it really just to focus back on what are the characters going through, really that\u2019s the reason we\u2019re so\u00a0enamoured\u00a0with our cast is we\u2019re taking kind of a \u2018Twilight Zone\u2019-y trope and using it to explore humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s in the cast of From?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a familiar face in the cast of From, with Lost\u2019s Harold Perrineau\u00a0reuniting with producers\u00a0Bender and Pinkner for the new supernatural TV show.\u00a0He stars as Boyd Stevens, the sheriff of the town.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace) plays new arrival in the town Tabitha Matthews, while\u00a0Eion Bailey (Band of Brothers) plays Tabitha\u2019s husband Jim.<\/p>\n

The cast is rounded out by David Alpay (The Tudors), Scott McCord (Jupiter\u2019s Legacy), Ricky He (The Good Doctor), and Shaun Majumder (This Hour Has 22 Minutes) amongst others.<\/p>\n
