Eleanor Catton's award-winning novel inspires this epic show
(Image credit: BBC)
Based on Eleanor Catton's epic, complex Man Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name, The Luminaries is an other-worldly murder mystery love story that follows Anna Wetherell (Eve Hewson) as she voyages alone to New Zealand's South Island in search of a new life during the 1860s West Coast Gold Rush, only to be dragged into a vortex of love, greed and fickle fortune. Read on as we explain how to watch The Luminaries online and stream every episode, no matter where you are in the world right now.
All six episodes of the miniseries are available to watch on BBC iPlayer, with the entire run of The Luminaries having aired on BBC One in 2020.
iPlayer is a completely FREE service – however, you should be in possession of a valid UK TV license before using it, as these now cover digital content consumption, too.
For anyone abroad right now wanting to watch The Luminaries, you’ll likely be unable to watch the miniseries due to annoying regional restrictions.
Luckily, there’s an easy solution. Downloading a VPN will allow you to stream The Luminaries online no matter where you are. It's a simple bit of software that changes your IP address, meaning that you can access on-demand content or live TV just as if you were at home.
Use a VPN to watch The Luminaries from abroad
ExpressVPN - get the world's best VPN
We've put all the major VPNs through their paces and we rate ExpressVPN as our top pick, thanks to its speed, ease of use and strong security features. It's also compatible with just about any streaming device out there, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox and PlayStation, as well as Android and Apple mobiles.
Sign up for an annual plan now and get an extra 3 months absolutely FREE. And if you change your mind within the first 30 days, let them know and they'll give you your money back without a quibble.
Starz is the exclusive network in the US for The Luminaries, with episodes being aired every Sunday night at 9.30pm ET/PT from February 14.
Starz is a premium cable and satellite channel that boasts first-run original television like Power and Outlander, alongside a big helping of Hollywood movies fresh out of the cinema.
You can add the channel to your existing TV package, if you like - or if you're looking to cut the cord, you have a couple of alternative options for streaming Starz.
You can get a subscription directly from the network itself via its online platform - but you could also consider getting it through Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon is worth considering as you can get both a FREE 30-day Prime trial and then a FREE 7-day Starz trial on top of that. In both cases, you can cancel at any time, with Prime costing $12.99 a month and Starz an additional $8.99 a month - but only if you decide to keep them.
Other ways to watch Starz and stream The Luminaries
The Luminaries aired in New Zealand in 2020 and as such, you can stream every episode at your leisure through the TVNZ OnDemand streaming service, which is completely FREE to use and available on a wide range of devices.
If you're outside New Zealand and want to watch the miniseries on TVNZ, you can use a VPN to tune in from anywhere.
Similarly, we're still waiting on details of a possible release Down Under.
But if you're currently in Oz from a country where The Luminaries is already out, remember you can use a good VPN to regain access to all the same services and content you'd normally watch (and pay for) in your country of residence.
There's no word yet on when The Luminaries might get a Canada release, but your best bet for the time being could be to harness the powers of a VPN to virtually transport yourself to a country that is showing it.
