New Amsterdam season 5 will premiere on Tuesday, September 20, at 10 PM EST (7 PM PST). While this will be the shows’s fifth and final season, we still have 13 new episodes to look forward to. Depending on your location, you may find New Amsterdam season 5 episodes region-locked. Below, we’ll explain how to unblock and stream it from anywhere with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Note that we’re only recommending official sources for watching New Amsterdam season 5. While there are likely to be unlicensed streams available, we don’t advise you use them. For starters, some will inevitably be taken offline for copyright violation. Chances are that any unauthorized streams you find will also be low-resolution. Fortunately, official sources allow you to stream New Amsterdam season 5 in the highest possible quality.
New Amsterdam season 5 will only be streaming on region-locked platforms. To continue watching on your home streaming service while traveling abroad, you’ll need to connect to a VPN.
How to stream New Amsterdam season 5 online with a VPN
You can use a VPN to make it look as if you’re browsing from another location. This is ideal for accessing geo-blocked content such as New Amsterdam season 5 while traveling abroad. Below is a simple step-by-step guide on how to go about this.
Here’s how to watch New Amsterdam season 5 online from anywhere:
- Sign up with a suitable VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN although you can also rely on high-quality alternatives such as Surfshark and ExpressVPN.
- Download and install the VPN app on your preferred streaming device. Note that the VPNs recommended above all allow multiple simultaneous connections.
- Open the VPN app and connect to a server in the US to get a US IP address. This is required to unblock and watch NBC content such as New Amsterdam from abroad.
- Go to NBC and sign in with your cable TV provider. You can also watch NBC via select TV streaming services which we’ll cover in more detail further below.
- You should now be able to stream content on NBC without restriction. If not, we recommend clearing your cookies or connecting to another server.
New Amsterdam season 5 will broadcast live on NBC. To avoid missing out, we recommend you test your new VPN with NBC ahead of the premiere. If you run into any issues, you’ll then have time to troubleshoot them with the customer support of your VPN.
How to watch New Amsterdam season 5 on US TV
New Amsterdam Season 5 will premiere on NBC on Tuesday, September 20. You can live stream the premiere by signing in to NBC via your cable TV provider. You’ll be asked to provide the same login details you use with your cable subscription (an email address or username and password). Once signed in, all content should be unlocked.
If you don’t have cable TV, there’s another way for you to watch New Amsterdam season 5 live. That’s because NBC is also available via the following TV streaming services (all prices are in USD):
- FuboTV ($69.99/month)
- Hulu with Live TV ($69.99/month)
- Sling TV ($35/month)
- YouTube TV ($64.99/month)
While NBC also has its own streaming service, Peacock, you can’t watch new episodes as they air on TV. However, you can watch them the next day if you’re a Peacock Premium member. This costs $4.99 with ads or $9.99 ad-free.
NBC and the above streaming services are geo-blocked outside the US. While traveling abroad, you’ll need to connect to a VPN server in a US city to access them. NordVPN has plenty of servers in the US and unblocks NBC. It also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee which means you can try it out risk-free.
Where else can I watch New Amsterdam season 5?
Canada
If you’re in Canada, you’ll be able to watch New Amsterdam season 5 on Global TV. Better still, it premieres on Global on the same day as it does on NBC in the US (September 20 at 10 PM EST). To watch live, simply sign in with your cable TV provider. Note that you can watch new episodes on Global without signing in for the first 7 days after broadcast.
Much like NBC, Global TV content is geo-restricted due to copyright and licensing laws. To watch it outside Canada, you’ll need a Canadian IP address which you can get by using a VPN. All content should then be unblocked as a result.
UK
Sky holds the UK broadcasting rights to New Amsterdam although there’s no word on a premiere date as yet. Regardless, when season 5 does make its UK TV debut, you’ll be able to stream it via the Sky Go app with a Sky TV subscription. If not, you can also stream Sky Witness contract-free on Now. This costs £9.99 (GBP) a month.
Again, you won’t be able to access this content from abroad unless you use a VPN. In this case, you’ll need to connect to a server in the UK to get a UK IP address. Once you’ve done this, all content should be accessible in your location.
Australia
In Australia, you can find New Amsterdam season 5 (and indeed all seasons of the show) on Stan. The first episode of season 5 will premiere on Wednesday September 21 due to the time difference with the US. Subscriptions are available for $10, 16, and $21 AUD a month while there’s even a 30-day free trial included.
Stan is only available in Australia, so you’ll need an Australian IP address (via a VPN) to watch from overseas.
What can we expect from New Amsterdam season 5?
The fifth and final season of New Amsterdam will be made up of 13 episodes. There hasn’t been much information released regarding season 5’s plot (in fact, we don’t even have an official trailer as yet). However, based on what happened in season 4, we expect Max to be dealing with his breakup with Helen and its impact on his daughter, Luna. We can also expect no shortage of chaos caused by Lauren’s sister, Vanessa, while Floyd will be looking to make up for lost time after finding his estranged father.
Which cast members are returning for New Amsterdam season 5?
Most of the New Amsterdam cast are expected to return for season 5. Of course, this includes Ryan Eggold as Dr. Max Goodwin, Janet Montgomery as Lauren Bloom, Jocko Sims as Floyd Reynolds, and Tyler Labine as Iggy Frome. We’ll also see more of new series regular Sandra Mae Frank as Dr. Elizabeth Wilder.
