Watch The Great season 3 online

You can stream every episode of The Great season 3 exclusively on Hulu in the US on Friday, March 12. A subscription starts at $7.99 per month, with new users getting a 30-day Hulu free trial. You'll need Stan to watch The Great season 3 in Australia. Viewers in the UK can tune in on Lionsgate Plus, from Friday, July 14. Full details below.


The Great season 3 opens with Catherine and Peter trying to patch things up, but getting over the odd clump of hair in the imperial plughole isn't the same as making peace with an attempted assassination gone awry.

Catherine, typically attuned to her husband's sensitivities, is trying – perhaps not quite as hard as she could be, but trying nonetheless – to smooth things over and make a go of things, but it's not her fault that Peter's a hapless manchild completely unsuited to a grownup relationship, let alone ruling over the largest landmass on the planet.

Better to get back to a cause that's worthy of her attention: revolutionising and modernising Mother Russia!

Despite making a name for herself abroad, however, Catherine remains a figure of mistrust and superstition at home, with attempts at benevolent reform blowing up in her face. Undermined and expertly manipulated by Archie at every turn, will she stick to her guns or will the reign of Russia's greatest empress be cut down before its prime?

Occasionally faithful to history but always outrageous, read on as we explain how to watch The Great season 3 free online and from anywhere.

In the US, all 10 episodes of The Great season 3 will be made available on Hulu at 12am PT / 3am ET on Friday, May 12.

Better still, Hulu is available to watch on an enormous range of devices, among them Android, iOS, Apple TV, Chromecast, Echo Show, Fire TV, Roku and games consoles.

How to watch The Great season 3 online in Canada

The previous seasons of The Great are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video in Canada, but at the time of writing there's no word on when or if The Great season 3 will come to the platform.

If The Great season 3 does land on Amazon in Canada, we'd recommend checking Prime Video on Friday, May 12, which is when the show is released in the US.

An Amazon Prime membership costs CA$99 per year or CA$9.99 per month. A subscription will get you access to Amazon's library of TV shows and films, as well as ad-free music streaming, Prime Gaming, exclusive deals, and their famed free delivery service.

New users can sign up for a FREE 30-day Amazon Prime trial with full access to all of the above during that time.

How to watch The Great season 3 online in the UK

The Great season 3's UK premiere is still a long way off, with the opening episode not set to land until Friday, July 14.

It will be available to stream on Lionsgate Plus, formerly Starzplay.

A subscription costs £5.99 a month when you sign up directly. Alternatively, you can add the channel as part of an Amazon Prime membership. New subscribers will get a month of Amazon Prime free and a 7-day free trial of Lionsgate Plus.

But, once those free trials are over, you’re looking at £8.99 for all of Prime’s streaming content and membership benefits, and then £5.99 a month for the Lionsgate Plus channel.

Not in the UK right now? No worries - you can download and install a VPN to port yourself back home to tune in as normal.
