Where to Watch The Shining in the UK

The Shining has the kind of reputation that outlasts any streaming deal — a 6/10 audience rating from 349 viewers doesn't fade. Availability varies by region and changes regularly, so check the TV Butler options below to find the fastest way to watch in your country.

Originally commissioned by ABC, The Shining quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. A new caretaker moves with his family into the mysterious Overlook Hotel for the winter. It aired in 1997.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find The Shining genuinely rewarding — it shares something with Washington: Behind Closed Doors but carves out its own territory entirely. The kind of genre television that makes you think as well as watch.
