The Thing On The Doorstep (2025)

MINISERIES PREMIERE Daniel Upton and Edward Derby have been best friends almost their entire lives, right up to the point Daniel shoots Edward dead in the Arkham Sanitorium—a crime Daniel swears he didn't commit, despite all the evidence. What happened on that fateful day in Arkham? What is the truth behind this seemingly mindless act of violence? Witness the beginning of this doomed relationship and Edward's slow descent into a horrifying world beyond his control. From award-winning writer Simon Birks (ANTARCTICA, Sinners, Gone, The Shadow Over Innsmouth) with artist Willi Roberts (ANTARCTICA, The Dark, Clodagh, The Blood Below, Remothered) comes a chilling tale based on HP Lovecraft's terrifying story.

Daniel receives a visitor with a familiar knock, and Edward explains that Asenath has left abruptly, leaving him to pick up the pieces of his life. After renovating his old family home, Edward's behaviour once again takes a turn for the worse, as Asenath Waite seeks a new place to live.

After being admitted to Arkham Sanatorium in a disturbed state, Edward’s demeanor abruptly changes, and the doctors decide he is well enough to be discharged. Knowing something terrible is about to happen, Daniel and Clara make desperate plans, but nothing could prepare them for the thing that knocks on their front door that evening.
