This series couldn’t have come at a better time, it would be interesting to know if this was always the plan or were they hoping on cinema releases before Covid hit?

Whatever the reason we think it’s great viewing especially during the month of Halloween, with news that the new Candyman has been put back and ‘Quiet Place’ II yet to hit our big screens gives us something to look forward to.
