The series introduces Charlie Manx, a seductive immortal who preys on the souls of children to sustain his twisted existence.

The remnants of his victims are transported to Christmasland – a sinister, snowy village where unhappiness is forbidden by law.

But when a young, working class artist in New England discovers her supernatural ability to unlock portals to find lost objects, she becomes Manx’s sworn enemy.

As Vic McQueen delves deeper into this eerie universe, she is forced to confront Manx – but risks losing her sanity and becoming one of his victims in the process.

The show premiered on ITVX on December 16, giving viewers a new festive horror to sink their teeth into.

NOS4A2 first came out in 2019 in the US, but this is the first time it’s become available for Brits to stream.

UK viewers are already buzzing about the show and have taken to social media to share their thoughts, with one person exclaiming: “NOS4A2 is now available on ITVX. Such a great series!”

Another wrote: “Just finished NOS4A2 and I really loved it.”

Even horror legend Stephen King has endorsed the series, calling it one of the “best horror stories” he’s seen.

When the series first aired on AMC, he tweeted: “NOS4A2: Scary? Yes. Involving? Yes.

“But it’s also doing something network TV can’t or won’t do–showing working-class people doing their jobs and trying their damndest (sometimes failing) to be decent.

“The best horror stories are firmly wedded to real life.”

Seasons 1 and 2 of NOS4A2 are available to stream on ITVX now.
