The captivating docuseries One Day in America returns for its third iteration in time, ahead of the 30th anniversary of the event it explores.

Oklahoma City Bombing: One Day in America takes a look at the 1995 terror attack on a federal building in Oklahoma City, which claimed many lives and hurt many others.

The series follows the popular JFK and 9/11, repeating the format that made the previous two so compelling: the story is narrated via archival footage and interviews with the survivors, to give it an immediacy and emotional grounding that other docuseries miss.

Here's everything you need to know about the docuseries, to ensure you can watch it.

In the UK, the first two episodes of the series will also air on the National Geographic channel, but on Sunday, April 6 at 9pm with the first two episodes airing.

We expect it to also stream on Disney Plus but haven't received confirmation of this so far, and it's not on Disney Plus' April slate just yet. We'll update this guide if that changes.
