Fans in the UK can now see Amber in Buffy the Vampire Slayer on free streaming service ITVX

4/19/2025

Fans in the UK can now watch Amber Benson as Tara Maclay in Buffy the Vampire Slayer via the free streaming service ITVX.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is now available in the UK, free, on ITV’s streaming service ITVX. Earlier this month all seven seasons were added to ITVX, which is free and supported by adverts. It’s the first time it's been on free-to-air television or free streaming service since 2022 when it was previously available from another UK broadcaster Channel 4.

ITVX can be watched on a range of devices including laptops, tablets, smart phones, smart TVs, games consoles, and more. There is also a premium option available if you wish to watch without adverts. For more information on how to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer see the hyperlink below.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer on ITVX

This will give Amber fans the chance to see her play the iconic and much-loved role of Tara Maclay who made her debut in "Hush" in season 4. Buffy remains much loved by fans even after more than two decades.

Buffy is still attracting new generations of fans even today so with this in mind, if you are a first-time viewer, there will be some spoilers below.

Amber played Tara Maclay for three seasons. Her shy smile, honesty, and loyalty made her a big hit with fans. Amber's dramatic exit from the show in 2002 was extremely controversial, especially among the LGBTQ community, and still provides a big talking point for fans to this day.

Tara & Willow (Alyson Hannigan) were the first long term openly gay couple on a US network television show. Amber played the role of Tara with both honesty and sensitivity, which earned her much deserved praise.

The role had a big impact on her life, and Amber continues to support the LGBTQ community. Amber’s impact on the Buffyverse goes far beyond her role on screen. Amber has co-written Willow and Tara comic books with her friend and fellow author Christopher Golden. Amber has also written her own short story about Claudine who was the Slayer at the time of the French Revolution.

In 2023, Slayers: A Buffyverse Story was released – an Audible Exclusive podcast series. It’s set within the Buffy verse thirteen years after “Chosen”, the final episode of the TV series. Amber co-wrote, co-directed, and reprised her role as Tara Maclay along with several of her co-stars and friends returning to the original roles they played in the TV series.

‘I Saw The TV Glow’ featuring Amber Benson is now available to watch in the UK via Sky Cinema and NOW TV.

3/20/2025

Here is some exciting news for fans in the UK: ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ featuring Amber Benson is now available to watch on TV and stream on demand on Sky Cinema and NOW TV. As many fans will know ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ was released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland last summer and now it's available on both UK TV and streaming on demand for the first time.

‘I Saw The TV Glow’ centres on Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine); two teenagers trying to navigate their way through life and high school. Owen and Maddie bond over a shared interest in a supernatural TV show The Pink Opaque. However, when it’s cancelled, Owen’s reality begins to blur with the fictional world in which The Pink Opaque is set.

This is the first time Amber has appeared in an on-screen role since she starred as Professor Samantha Rand in 2019's The Nightmare Gallery. In recent years, Amber has transitioned from acting to writing, including the Calliope-Reaper Jones series and the Echo Park Coven Series of novels. Following the completion of these successful series Amber has since written a number of both fiction and non-fiction film projects for television. Amber is featured as ‘Johnny Link’s Mom’, a small but important role that provides Owen with a moment of support and comfort.

The film is available to watch live on demand through Sky Cinema and its sister platform NOW TV. Sky Cinema is available to new and existing Sky TV customers and requires a monthly subscription. For more information about Sky Cinema click here.

NOW TV is a streaming platform available on smart TVs, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more. A Sky Cinema membership is available for a monthly fee which you can cancel at any time. For more information about NOW TV click here.

I'm delighted that more fans here in the UK have the opportunity to see ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ and see Amber in an on-screen role. I'd like to apologise for the length of time it has taken to post this information on the site. I've had a busy time with some other commitments, but I am determined to get back to posting regular updates. Thank you all for your patience.

Amber is hosting a chat on Instagram Live Today

1/28/2025

Amber is hosting a live chat on Instagram later today with friend and fellow author Sina Grace.

Sina’s name may well be familiar to Amber fans as Sina is who illustrated Amber’s children’s book Among The Ghosts and Amber starred in both seasons of his semi-autobiographical web series Self-Obsessed.

They will be chatting about Sina’s brand-new graphic novel West Hollywood Monster Squad. The story centres on Marvin Matocho as he and his friends are attending a drag show when it’s suddenly overrun by monsters. Now this group of high school friends might just be the only thing standing between LA and its total destruction.

Amber and Sina will also be joined by the illustrator Bradley Clayton.

This live chat will take place on Instagram at 2 PM PST which is 10 PM here in the UK. To watch this chat visit Instagram via @rebma_nosneb/@sinagrace

I'm really looking forward to this live chat and learning more about West Hollywood Monster Squad.

Amber has released a video to thank all who supported her fundraising efforts for LA Wildfires Relief.

1/28/2025

As many fans will know, Amber held a virtual autograph signing with online platform Streamily on the 17th of January with all proceeds going to the LA Wildfires Relief effort. Amber also organised a raffle so more people could participate.

In return for a donation of whatever you could afford to the Wildfire Relief Fund 2025 GoFundMe page, Amber gave away some amazing prizes, donated not just by her but also by two fellow authors Raven Belasco and Cooper S. Beckett.

The draw has now been made and Amber has released a video on her official Facebook and Instagram accounts to thank fans for their generosity and supporting such a worthy cause.

As it’s a kind and heartfelt message to fans, I wanted to share the link here in the Latest Amber News Section so if you haven’t seen it on Amber's official socials or shared on our website accounts you could view the video she made by clicking the link below:

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15z1ZuWbxh/

When the link opens a Facebook sign-in box appears just click the cross and the box will disappear and the video will play. If you have a Facebook account, you can sign in but it's not required to watch the video. I've tested the link, and it works but you may need to turn the sound on at the top of the video.

It was great to be able to join with fellow fans to help support something so positive. Thank you to Amber and everyone who helped her make this event possible.

Amber Benson To Hold a Virtual Signing Session via Streamily on Friday the 17th of January.

1/13/2025

In 2023, Amber held a virtual signing session with the online platform Streamily. Amber announced yesterday via her official Instagram and Facebook accounts that she is to have another signing session later this week. She also confirmed on social media and her page on the Streamily website that all proceeds from the signing will be donated to the LA fire relief efforts, to assist those affected by the devastating wildfires that have struck Los Angeles in the last few days.

It had been announced on the Streamily website previously that Amber would be holding a signing session next month. I was preparing a post about that when this news came through. At this stage, I don't know if there will be two autograph sessions or whether Amber has chosen to bring her session forward to this week in order to support the LA fire relief effort. As soon as I have any further information about that I will post it here.

If you’re not familiar with Streamily, here is what you need to know. It’s an online platform that gives fans the opportunity to buy a photo which Amber will then sign whilst on a live stream so fans can tune in and watch. The team at Streamily will then post your autograph to you. They will send items internationally as well so you have the opportunity to get a personalised Amber autograph, and you can watch the signing session wherever you are.

It’s important to note however that Streamily does state that not all items are guaranteed to be signed live on the camera. However, there is a Priority Signing option and a family membership package that can be purchased to ensure your item is signed on the live stream.

The signing will take place on Friday the 17th of January at 7 pm here in the UK and 11 am PST in the USA. The live stream of the signing session itself will take place on Amber’s Instagram account @rebma_nosneb. This also means that fans can log in and watch with fellow Amber fans even if they don't purchase an autograph.

It's also important to mention that as part of her Streamily store, Amber has some pre-signed autographs for sale. If you want one signed to you personally select a photo with the “Signed On Livestream” banner on it. This does not guarantee it will be signed on the stream itself unless you have selected one of the VIP or priority options. To see the full range of pictures available to purchase and options including framing your autograph, recording a personal message for Amber, and VIP options click the link below.

It's great that we will have an opportunity to see Amber live and fans from all over the world can be part of it. This signing is also raising money for a very important cause. I encourage you to help out in any way you can. Spreading the word will help let others know about the event and raise awareness of the relief efforts in Los Angeles right now.

Amber is not only hugely talented she's also a kind and generous person too. If it had not been for the encouragement Amber has given me, I never would have attempted many new things. I’m very grateful for all of her support and kind words.
