What's available
Romania has access to a solid selection of streaming services, though the libraries vary by platform. Netflix Romania carries popular originals like Stranger Things, Wednesday, Squid Game, and The Crown, along with a decent range of international films. HBO Max (now Max) is available and includes House of the Dragon, Succession, The Last of Us, and Euphoria. Disney+ Romania gives you access to Marvel titles like Loki and WandaVision, Star Wars content including The Mandalorian, and Pixar films. Amazon Prime Video also operates in Romania with titles like The Boys, Reacher, and The Rings of Power.
What you're missing
Compared to the US libraries, Romanian viewers are missing a notable chunk of content across platforms. Netflix Romania lacks several licensed titles that appear in the US, including Seinfeld on some rotation windows and various regional exclusives. Hulu is completely unavailable in Romania, meaning you miss out on The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, and Abbott Elementary. Peacock, which carries Poker Face, Bel-Air, and exclusive WWE content, is US-only. Paramount+ with its Tulsa King, 1883, and Halo series is also not officially available. ESPN+ and other sports streaming services are geo-blocked entirely.
How to access other regions
A VPN lets you change your virtual location so streaming platforms think you're browsing from another country. To access US libraries, connect to a US server before opening your streaming app or browser. We recommend NordVPN as the top choice — it's fast, reliable, and works consistently with major platforms including Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock. Simply install NordVPN, select a United States server, and you're ready to stream content that's normally blocked in Romania.
Pricing
Streaming prices in Romania are generally lower than in Western Europe. Netflix plans range from approximately 25 RON to 54 RON per month depending on the tier. Disney+ is around 28 RON monthly, and HBO Max starts near 27 RON. Amazon Prime Video is available at roughly 33 RON per month. Pricing can change, so check each platform directly for the latest rates.
Our recommendation
If you're in Romania and want the full streaming experience, you're already covered for the big originals through Netflix, Max, and Disney+. But if you want access to Hulu, Peacock, or Paramount+ — which carry some of the best current TV — connecting through NordVPN with a US server is your best move. It's simple to set up and opens a much larger content world for a small monthly cost.
