Comedy TV powerhouse Nathan Fielder is back for his latest caper: The Curse is his newest show, and unlike his hits Nathan For You and The Rehearsal, it's a fictional comedy series.

Quick links

The Curse follows two newlyweds who are trying to conceive and also star in a home renovation show, but are also plagued by a curse that may or may not actually exist. 

Starring alongside Fielder is Emma Stone, who plays his wife in the show, and also Benny Safdie, who co-created the show alongside Fielder and plays the producer of the home renovation show.

This is an anticipated show and you're probably wondering how to watch The Curse — well we'll help you figure that out.

How to watch The Curse in the US

If you want to watch The Curse as soon as possible, then you'll need to sign up to the streaming service Paramount Plus.

The show will debut on the streamer on Friday, November 10, with subsequent episodes airing weekly. To watch it, you'll need to be on the $11.99-per-month Paramount Plus with Showtime tier, not the cheaper $5.99 one as that doesn't offer Showtime shows.

You'll also be able to catch The Curse on Showtime two days later; it debuts on Sunday, November 12 at 10 pm ET/PT, and new episodes will air weekly in that same slot.

Showtime is a premium cable channel, but if you don't have it, it can be a little hard to find on live TV streaming services. Your two options are DirecTV on its Premier plan for $154.99 per month, or YouTube TV on its Entertainment Plus plan for $102.99 per month.

How to watch The Curse in the UK

You can watch The Curse on Paramount Plus in the UK, with the streaming service sometimes hosting Showtime shows in the country.

Paramount Plus costs £6.99 per month and you can sign up via the streaming service or via an Amazon Prime Video channel if you subscribe to Prime. Both methods offer a 7-day free trial too.

How to watch The Curse in Australia

Like in the UK, The Curse will be available to watch on Paramount Plus in Australia, with the streamer confirming as much.

Episodes will land the day after their US premiere, so beginning on Saturday, November 11. They'll release weekly from then on.

Paramount Plus costs $9.99 per month or $89.99 for an annual subscription.
