What's available

UK subscribers get access to a strong lineup across all major streaming platforms. On Netflix UK, you can stream The Crown, Peaky Blinders, Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Black Mirror. Disney+ UK carries The Mandalorian, Andor, WandaVision, and the full Marvel and Star Wars back catalogue. Amazon Prime Video UK includes The Boys, Reacher, Rings of Power, and Clarkson's Farm. Apple TV+ is fully available with Severance, Ted Lasso, and The Morning Show. Paramount+ UK offers Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. BBC iPlayer and ITVX also provide a wealth of free, ad-supported British content unavailable elsewhere.

What you're missing

Compared to US libraries, UK subscribers miss out on some notable titles. Netflix UK lacks Suits, several seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and a number of US reality shows. Disney+ UK misses some older Fox titles and certain Hulu Originals like The Bear and Only Murders in the Building, which sit behind a separate Hulu subscription in the US. Amazon Prime Video UK doesn't carry every US sports broadcast or regional exclusives. Paramount+ UK also skips some live CBS content that US users enjoy.

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you change your virtual location so streaming platforms see you as browsing from another country. To access the US library of any service, simply connect to a US server before opening the app or website. We recommend NordVPN as your first choice — it reliably unblocks Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and more with fast speeds and a large US server network. Connect to a New York or Los Angeles server for the best results.

  • Download and install NordVPN
  • Connect to a United States server
  • Open your streaming service and enjoy the expanded library

Pricing

  • Netflix UK: from £4.99/month (with ads) to £17.99/month (4K)

Our recommendation

UK streaming is genuinely excellent, and you already have access to most premium content across Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, Apple TV+, and Paramount+. However, if you want to unlock everything the US libraries offer — including Hulu Originals and extra Netflix titles — pairing your subscriptions with NordVPN is a straightforward, affordable solution that gives you full global access without switching accounts.
