Watch Long Bright River: Synopsis
Looking for the new Mare of Easttown? This gripping limited series, about a Philadelphia cop desperate to find her missing sister after a wave of murders devastates the community she vowed to protect, should more than satisfy. By turns raw, unflinching, and deeply personal, the show is anchored by a career-best performance from Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout). We explain below how to watch Long Bright River online in the US and from anywhere when all episodes drop.
Long Bright River looks to have the hallmarks of a must-watch series. First off, it’s based on a New York Times Bestselling novel by Liz Moore, which debuted in 2020 to rave reviews – including from People magazine, who praised it as “a thriller par excellence […] powerful and genre-defying.” Moore subsequently co-wrote the TV serialisation alongside Nikki Toscano (The Offer, Hunters), and very wisely cast Emmy winner Amanda Seyfried in the lead role. Her compassionate portrayal of steadfast cop Mickey Fitzpatrick is guaranteed to wow, with showrunner Toscano advising viewers to “strap yourself in—‘cause this is Amanda like you’ve never seen her before.”
Elevating the series above its police procedural roots is the compelling sibling relationship at its heart, one inspired by Moore’s own family history with addiction. Flitting between the series’ present mystery and Mickey’s past, we’re shown the deep bond she shared with her sister Kacey (Ashleigh Cummings) growing up. But their adult lives diverge. Despite being raised in the same deprived neighborhood, Kacey becomes an addict, living a transitory and dangerous life on the streets, while Mickey avoids the fate of many of her peers and finds purpose as a Philadelphia police officer instead.
Then Kacey vanishes. In the following days, three women are found murdered in quick succession. Mickey is determined to track down her sister with the help of Truman Dawes (Nicholas Pinnock) and collar the killer. Both, however, find themselves at the center of a much bigger conspiracy that will put all of their lives at risk.
An emotionally-charged thriller set in the City of Brotherly Love, and featuring a sensational turn by Seyfried, you won’t want to miss this new series. Simply read the following viewing guide for how to watch Long Bright River online and stream all eight episodes, inside and outside of the US,.

Traveling abroad right now? If you're an American temporarily out of the country, download a VPN to access the same services you’d enjoy back home.
How to watch Long Bright River from anywhere
If you're a US citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Long Bright River online just as you would at home.
While services like Peacock block access from IP addresses outside of the US, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN that can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, US citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server and access their subscription from anywhere in the world, just like they would back home.
Step-by-step of using a VPN to unblock:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from under $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – for Peacock, you'll want to connect to a server based in the US.
3. Go to the stream you wish to access - for Long Bright River, head to your home streaming service (Peacock in the US, for example.)
How to watch Long Bright River online in Canada
The eight-part limited series will be exclusive to Crave for Canadian viewers. They can watch Long Bright River online in sync with its US release, on March 13, when all eight episodes are made available for streaming.
Crave plans start from CA$9.99 a month (+tax) with three plans to choose from. Upgrade to Crave Standard at CA$14.99 per month and get four simultaneous streams. However, the CA$22 Premium plan offers the best value. It’s the only option with no ads, and lets you stream live channels and download content to watch on the go. You can also save by signing up for an annual plan, each of which offers 12 months for the price of 10.
How to watch Long Bright River online in Australia
Aussies can watch Long Bright River, and stream the thrilling murder mystery series based on Liz Moore’s bestselling novel, with a subscription to Stan. Like in the US, the entire series will be available from Thursday, March 13.
Not yet registered for Stan? A basic membership costs AU$12 per month, with the top-tier option costing AU$22 a month and providing 4K Ultra HD Video quality and the ability to download content to watch on multiple device. And, unlike a lot of services, every subscription option is ad-free.
A quick note: Stan is geo-blocked outside of Australia. That means if you're not currently Down Under, you’ll want to download a VPN to appear back at home.
Can I watch Long Bright River online in the UK?
To our knowledge, this limited series hasn’t been picked up for streaming in the UK yet. A lot of Peacock content is acquired by Sky and made available via its on-demand service NOW. That’s been the case with Poker Face, Bel-Air, and more recently, The Day of the Jackal. However, Long Bright River doesn't seem to have had the same luck. Should we get wind of a future release date, we’ll be sure to let you know here.
