How to watch the final episode of Happy Valley

You can watch the final episode of Happy Valley live on TV on BBC One this Sunday at 9pm. You can also stream it over on BBC iPlayer, either live or on catch-up.  

BBC iPlayer also has all previous episodes of the show available to watch, so you can binge them all before Sunday, should you want to jump on the Happy Valley hype train.  

How to watch Happy Valley in the US and abroad

Unfortunately, BBC One and BBC iPlayer are exclusive to the UK.  

US fans of Happy Valley can catch season three on BBC America, AMC+, and Acorn TV, but it won’t release until May 2023 (seasons one and two are available on these platforms now). However, you can still stream the Happy Valley finale as soon as it airs by using a VPN.  

If you are already a BBC TV license holder, then all you need to do is sign up for an iPlayer account, purchase a VPN, turn on a UK server and then log in to iPlayer.    

There are various VPNs that work for BBC iPlayer, but for the best performance and pricing we recommend either NordVPN, (which also tops our best VPN roundup) or Surfshark.
