We've all faced the disappointment of finding a US drama we really want to watch, only for it not to be available in the UK.
The US is constantly creating must-see entertainment content and you might be thinking that these programs are only available to US audiences — but that's not the case.
Thanks to these US streaming platforms securing deals with UK broadcasters like Sky and ITV, we can now watch award-winning content from a variety of genres. Although the UK isn't guaranteed the same release date as those across the pond, it saves you from waiting an age until they reach UK screens.
Here are the US dramas available to watch on both UK channels and streaming this week, as well as our top picks.
Our top picks across TV and streaming
Mayor of Kingstown season 4
Mayor of Kingstown has been re-elected on Paramount Plus as season 4 of the hit crime thriller airs on October 26. Co-created by Yellowstone's Taylor Sheridan, Mayor of Kingstown season 4 once again follows Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) as he tries to maintain order in the corrupt town.
According to the official synopsis, Mayor of Kingstown season 4 sees "Mike's control over Kingstown threatened as new players compete to fill the power vacuum left in the Russians’ wake, compelling him to confront the resulting gang war and stop them from swallowing the town. Meanwhile, with those he loves in more danger than ever before, Mike must contend with a headstrong new warden to protect his own while grappling with demons from his past."
If you can't wait to watch this next instalment of the action-packed saga, check out our detailed recaps for each episode of Mayor of Kingstown season 3 in the meantime.
Tales of the Walking Dead
Although The Walking Dead came to an end in 2022, it's come back to life in the UK with Tales of the Walking Dead — and even better that the first two episodes drop on Sky Max on October 31, making it perfect Halloween viewing.
The anthology series originally aired on AMC in 2022 and features six one-hour standalone episodes with new and returning characters from across the TWD universe. As per the synopsis, "each episode has its own distinct tone and point of view — but the stakes are high in each story, pushing new, indelible characters with relentless, life-threatening choices and situations. We get to see the apocalypse through different eyes, discovering more worlds, mythos and mysteries of the Walking Dead."
US writer Sarabeth Pollock hailed the zombie spin-off as "fresh and fun and it’s the kind of storytelling the TWD universe needs right now," in her Tales of the Walking Dead preview. You can also check out the all-star cast in our Tales of the Walking Dead cast guide and how the story connects to Fear the Walking Dead.
IT: Welcome to Derry
Another spooky addition to our top picks this week is IT: Welcome to Derry. Set in the 1960s, the prequel series tells the blood-soaked story of how the idyllic town of Derry was terrorised by the killer shape-shifting clown Pennywise.
Bill Skarsgård returns as the sewer-dwelling monster after playing the role in the Stephen King feature film adaptations, IT and IT: Chapter Two. Also joining Skarsgård in the series are Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe and Rudy Mancuso.
Go ahead and float over to Sky Atlantic on October 27 to witness the horror of Pennywise sinking his teeth into a small town.
