Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan’s work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

It’s difficult to find a horror series that’s genuinely unsettling. Mainly because horror, to many creative types these days, seems to be based around the idea of delivering a jump scare rather than gradually building a horrible atmosphere of legitimate dread. However, every once in a while, something comes along that manages to do both, while keeping audiences guessing about what on earth is happening. One of television’s most compelling and addictive modern mystery series is delivering just that, and it’s spent years building a fiercely loyal following. Now, after finding a new home on streaming, it’s become the biggest show in America.

From has officially reached No. 1 on Netflix’s television chart in the United States for the week of October 19–25, 2026. Created by John Griffin, From centers on a mysterious American town that traps everyone unfortunate enough to enter it. You’d think you could just leave, right? The only issue is that, you can’t. The road out of town takes you right back into it. Not only that, the residents have to contend with terrifying creatures that emerge from the surrounding forest after dark.

The series stars Harold Perrineau (Lost) as Sheriff Boyd Stevens, Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace) as Tabitha Matthews, Eion Bailey (Once Upon a Time) as Jim Matthews, David Alpay (The Tudors) as Jade Herrera, Elizabeth Saunders (Clarice) as Donna Raines, Scott McCord (The Sinner) as Victor, Ricky He (The Good Doctor) as Kenny Liu, and Hannah Cheramy (Van Helsing) as Julie Matthews.

Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.

Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.

Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.

Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.

Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.

Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.

The horror series originally premiered on Epix, before it jumped across to MGM+, where it has developed a reputation for its elaborate mysteries and genuinely disturbing creatures. Its growing popularity has also drawn comparisons with Lost, particularly thanks to Perrineau’s involvement and the show’s increasingly complicated mythology. It’s a big moment for the series, too, because a fifth and final season is officially in development at MGM+. That final season is expected to arrive in 2027, although an exact premiere date has not been announced.

The first three seasons of From are now streaming on Netflix in the United States, while all four seasons are available through MGM+.
