True Detective is back for its fourth season. Subtitled Night Country, it’ll follow two investigators as they try to figure out why people are disappearing from a remote Arctic research station. The first of six episodes will air January 14 at 21:00 ET/PT, with another releasing every Sunday afterward. Sound good? Below, we’ll let you know how to watch every episode of True Detective: Night Country from anywhere in the world.
You should note that we’ll only be recommending official sources. Although popular shows like True Detective are frequently available on shady streaming sites, we advise against using them. To begin with, the videos are often laggy and low-resolution. Further, they can be taken offline at any time for copyright violation, so you might not even get to see the end of the season.
True Detective: Night Country is only available on region-locked platforms, meaning you’ll need a VPN to watch it from abroad.
How to watch True Detective abroad using a VPN
VPNs can seem a little intimidating at first but once you know how to use them, it’s actually very simple to unblock geo-restricted services abroad. Follow the steps below to stream True Detective: Night Country from the UK, the US, Canada, Mexico, or anywhere in the world:
- Start by signing up for a suitable VPN if you haven’t already. We recommend NordVPN although ExpressVPN and Surfshark are both great alternatives.
- Now, download and install the VPN software. Most services offer a range of apps for different operating systems and devices so make sure to get the right one.
- Decide which of the platforms below you’d like to unblock.
- Connect to a VPN server in the appropriate country. For instance, you’d use an American server to unblock Max or an Australian server for Binge.
- Try playing a video on your chosen site. It should start immediately but if not, clearing your cache and cookies then refreshing the page should fix most issues.
How to stream True Detective: Night Country on UK TV
True Detective: Night Country will be arriving every Monday, starting January 15. If you’re already a Sky TV customer, you can watch live on Sky Atlantic using the Sky Go app. That said, new episodes will be arriving at 02:00, so you might want to wait until later and just stream them on-demand.
Don’t have cable? In that case, just sign up for Now TV‘s Entertainment pass. This costs £9.99 per month and gives you access to the first three seasons of True Detective as well.
Remember, these services are geo-blocked. If you’d like to watch from outside of the UK, you’ll have to connect to a British VPN server first. Don’t have a VPN? NordVPN comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can stream True Detective risk-free. If you’re unsatisfied or only needed a VPN for this one task, you can just cancel and claim a full refund.
Where else can I watch True Detective: Night Country online?
Luckily, True Detective: Night Country will release simultaneously in multiple countries. Take a look below to find out where to watch True Detective online where you are:
USA
Season four of True Detective will be exclusively available on Max, premiering on January 14 at 21:00 PT/ET. This service starts at $9.99 USD per month and unfortunately, there’s no free trial available. On the plus side, you can stream every older episode of this show too.
Max is geo-restricted. As such, you’ll have to either be in the US or connected to an American VPN server to use it.
Canada
In Canada, Crave is the only streaming service that’s showing True Detective: Night Country. It’ll air at the same time as it’s shown in the US: 21:00 ET/PT every Sunday, beginning January 14. Plans begin at $9.99 per month, and you can also watch True Detective seasons 1–3 online, so it’s a pretty good deal.
Crave is region-locked and only available in Canada. To use this service abroad, you’ll have to connect to a Canadian VPN server.
Australia
Every season of True Detective is available on Binge and Night Country will begin arriving from January 15. This usually costs $18 AUD per month but your first week is free. If you wait until the end of season four and cancel before the trial ends, you can effectively stream every episode of True Detective: Night Country free.
Binge is region-locked. Existing subscribers can still access these services abroad by using a VPN, though.
