How to watch Great Expectations online from anywhere

Want to watch Great Expectations? Here's where you need to go.

After bringing us a star-studded version of A Christmas Carol in 2019, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is back to put his spin on another classic Charles Dickens novel in this new six-part TV drama. 

This time, the BAFTA-winning writer is taking on the story of Pip (here played by Tom Sweet and Dunkirk's Fionn Whitehead, once he hits adulthood), the orphan who dreams of climbing the ranks and becoming a gentleman. 

Alongside him are Olivia Colman in the role of the mysterious jilted bride, Miss Havisham, Matt Berry as lawyer, Mr. Pumblechook, Ashley Thomas as Jaggers, Shalom Brune-Franklin as Estella, and Owen McDonnell as Joe.

Here's where to watch Great Expectations, wherever you are...

How to watch Great Expectations in the UK

Great Expectations starts airing in the UK at 9 pm on Sunday, March 26 on BBC One. 

Unlike some of the other recent BBC releases, Great Expectations isn't being released as a box set on BBC iPlayer, so whilst you can stream the series online via the app, you won't be able to binge it.

How to watch Great Expectations in the US

You'll be able to watch Great Expectations in the US on FX on Hulu at the same time, as the series is streaming from Sunday, March 26 in the States, too.
