For fans interested in finding a new horror series worth watching, it’s always a good idea to look at the recommendations made by author Stephen King. In addition to his own library of classic works that include the likes of Carrie and The Shining, King often takes time to highlight the projects of other creators. Now fans can check out one “scary” horror series recommended by Stephen King that’s currently streaming.
The recommendations made by King on social media platforms over the years have continued to have a life of their own, with fans consistently reviving titles mentioned by King on X or Threads.
For this particular recommendation, King recommended this title in 2019, with King calling the series both “scary” and “involving.”
In an era of streaming, those are definitely two requirements that most horror fans have on their lists, so here’s the series that King suggests via X that he claims is worth watching:
“NOS4A2: Scary? Yes. Involving? Yes,” he begins with his recommendation.
“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.”
The television series NOS4A2 is based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Joe Hill, King’s own son, which should naturally be an appealing concept for fans of King’s works. The series itself lasted for two seasons on AMC, and while that might not seem very long, it’s actually just long enough to adapt the entirety of Hill’s original book.
As such, fans can get a complete story out of streaming NOS4A2, which revolves around an artist who attempts to track down an immortal being named Charlie Manx with the use of her own supernatural abilities. The series is currently available to stream via a variety of platforms, including PLEX and Xumo Play where it’s currently free, as well as platforms like AMC Plus.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional recommendations from Stephen King and other titles trending on streaming platforms as we have them. For those looking to stream a complete horror story in a series format, however, NOS4A2 is certainly a good choice – especially if you’re a fan of Stephen King, Joe Hill, or the novel the series is based on.
