‘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.

What makes it all more exciting for UK fans, myself included is that it will be the first time many of us have had the chance to watch a film starring Amber in the cinema.

If any other fans know of screenings around the UK and the Republic of Ireland then let me know and I can post an update in the ‘Latest Amber News’ section to let other fans know.

7/10/2024

I have some hugely exciting news to share. ‘I Saw The TV Glow’, featuring Amber Benson, is set for a nationwide release later this month in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

‘I Saw The TV Glow’ premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and then had a limited number of preview screenings in the USA before a nationwide release on May 17, 2024.

Last month, ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ made its UK debut in London, where it was given four preview screenings. Now, the website Digitalspy.com has revealed that ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ will be released nationwide across the UK and the Republic of Ireland on Friday, July 26th, 2024.

‘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. When the TV show is cancelled, Owen’s reality begins to blur with the fictional world in which the show is set.

I haven't been able to find a full list of cinema screenings for ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ at the moment. My advice would be to check your local cinema listings. If possible, I will put together a list of cinemas where the film is being shown. If there is a screening near you, then why not email me or get in touch via social media the links are in the website header.

It was back in 2022 that Amber revealed she had joined the cast of ‘I Saw The TV Glow’. 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.

As many fans will know, 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.

I was lucky enough to meet Amber again at a Convention in the UK in 2022. During a Q&A session with fans, I asked Amber if she could share more about ‘I Saw The TV Glow’. She said, "If you like genre shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural, you will love this film." A big thank you to Amber for being kind enough to answer my question!

The trailer is an intriguing watch and I can see why the project was interesting enough to tempt Amber back into an on-screen role. Sadly, Amber doesn't appear in this particular trailer but if and when new versions are released or we get any official photos of her in the film I will share them here. According to IMDb.com Amber will be playing the role of “Johnny Link's Mom.”

I'm pleased that more fans will now get a chance to see Amber's return to an on-screen role.

A big thank you to Samantha for letting me know about this exciting news.

Amber Benson was the Special Guest on a Recent Episode of The Jordan, Jesse, Go Podcast.

12/31/2023

Amber was the special guest on the most recent episode of The Jordan, Jesse, Go Podcast which was released in the run-up to Christmas.

Amber joins hosts Jordan Norris and Jesse Thorn to talk about Slayers: A Buffyverse Story which was co-written, co-directed and stars Amber Benson. Amber herself is very modest and she plays down her starring role, instead highlighting the contribution of others.

Trust me when I say that Amber is definitely a star, she gives an incredible performance as Tara Maclay. If there are some fans out there who haven't listen to Slayers: A Buffyverse and are worried that Tara won't have a big role to play. Then let me put your mind at ease, she is a big part of the story and as you would expect Amber does it with great care and sounds terrific.

Amber is amazing, I urge you to listen. I went slightly off the topic of the podcast but I felt it was important to highlight Amber’s incredible contribution both in creating and as a cast member.

Jesse, Jordan and Amber also talk about Christmas and their plans. They discuss Christmas movies, Amber has starred in one and has experience of writing a festive film for Hallmark. Amber enjoys true crime stories and she has written several movies based on real life events for The Lifetime Network. Amber has written a number of novels and short stories along with co-writing and creating the Ghosts of Albion online series and novels. Jordan, Jesse and Amber discuss her novel: The Witches of Echo Park. Penguins, otters and ice cream cake are just some of the other topics up for discussion in this unique podcast.

My friend and fellow Amber fan Laragh gave me a heads up about this podcast. She also sent me a post from Reddit in which co-host Jordan Morris describes Amber as “a hilarious delight” and describes it as “not so much an interview, just kind of a goofy chat around.” The conversation does take plenty of twists and turns in this funny and unusual chat. This is definitely not your typical interview but that’s what makes it so enjoyable.

I have posted the link below so you can so you can listen and there is also more information on the podcast and other options for downloading and playing it on your devices.

Please Note: The podcast does contain some strong language and discussion of mature themes.

https://maximumfun.org/episodes/jordan-jesse-go/praise-janey-with-amber-benson/

This is a really enjoyable listen that made me laugh and for Amber fans it's a great way to spend a relaxing hour. There will be some more updates coming to the site in 2024 but for now I'd like to wish everyone A Happy New Year.

Amber Benson To Star In Upcoming Movie I Saw The TV Glow

10/4/2022

If you follow our dedicated Facebook and Twitter feeds you will have seen the hugely exciting news that Amber is set to star in upcoming horror thriller, I Saw The TV Glow. This will be the first time Amber has appeared in an on-screen role since she starred as Professor Samantha Rand in 2019's The Nightmare Gallery.

As many fans will know 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 began writing for television. In 2017 she wrote Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer and 2018’s Terror in The Woods followed in 2020 by A Murder To Remember. These three movies were true crime films based on real-life events for the Lifetime Network.

Then Amber returned to fiction writing with A Murder In Mind and Death By Design, both part of the popular Morning Show Mysteries series for Hallmark. As well as A Family Christmas Gift she wrote both the original story and co-wrote the teleplay for this charming festive movie, again for Hallmark. Amber has also been developing The Witches of Echo Park, the first in her Echo Park Coven trilogy of novels for television. These are some of the most recent projects in her impressive and growing body of work as a writer.

In August however The Hollywood Reporter exclusively broke the news that Amber would be returning to the screen as part of the cast for the horror thriller, I Saw The TV Glow. I was both surprised and delighted that Amber is returning to the screen after a few years away. The Hollywood Reporter states that the film is now in postproduction and Amber shared her own excitement at being part of the film. Below is a screenshot of the tweet from her official account.

I was lucky enough to meet Amber again at the Cross Roads 5 Convention in Birmingham last weekend. During a Q&A session with fans I asked Amber if she could share any more about I Saw The TV Glow. She said, "If you like genre shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural you will love this film."

A big thank you to Amber for being kind enough to answer my question!

When more information about, I Saw The TV Glow is available I will post a further update. In the meantime to read the full article from the Hollywood Reporter click here.

My apologies for the long delay in posting this update in the latest Amber News section. I've had a particularly busy time with work commitments and planning my trip to join fellow fans at Cross Roads 5. A big thank you to fellow Amber fan Laragh for giving me a heads up about this exciting news.

Amber Was A Guest/Contestant On The Debut Episode of You Should Know Better! Podcast

7/23/2022

Recently Amber revealed via her official Instagram account that she would be a guest/contestant on the debut episode of a brand-new podcast series called You Should Know Better!

As you might have guessed from me describing Amber as a ‘contestant’ this definitely is a podcast with a difference. This is a trivia contest Amber goes head-to-head with her friend Jeremiah Birkett. You Should Know Better! is hosted by actor and writer Mike C. Nelson.

In 2012 Amber starred as Ella in the movie Dust Up alongside both Jeremiah (Buzz) and Mike (Keith) and the three remain friends to this day. In recent years Amber has transitioned from acting to writing novels and more recently for television. Jeremiah continues to appear regularly on screen with roles in Lucifer and guest starring roles in shows like NCIS. Mike works as a writer and an actor and played the role of Nurse Larry on Black-ish. Mike also appeared as a winning contestant on the long-running US TV quiz show Jeopardy.

For his latest project Mike has gone from contestant to quizmaster launching his own trivia podcast You Should Know Better! Each week two celebrity contestants will battle through four rounds of trivia each playing for charity. In this debut episode Mike challenged his friends to face off against one another for the title of The Smartest Person in The World (For One Week)

Amber is playing for LA Food Bank and Jeremiah for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, both are very worthy causes. The podcast is over an hour long and there is plenty of taxing trivia and a lot of laughs along the way to, its a really entertaining listen. I took Mike's advice and played along at home and I can safely say that Amber and Jeremiah are much better at trivia than me. I did hold my own in round four and I was pleased with that.

To find out who was crowned The Smartest Person in The World (For One Week) listen to the You Should Know Better! Podcast which is now available on multiple platforms. For this post I have used a link from Spreaker.com simply click on it to listen to the episode.

https://www.spreaker.com/show/you-should-know-better

I apologise for not being able to get this update online as quickly as I would have liked its being a busy time for me personally with other commitments recently.

This is a must listen for Amber fans and lots of fun and I recommend you check it out.
