Watch Queenie: Synopsis
It's only ever a matter of time before a book as wildly popular as Queenie gets the book-to-screen adaptation treatment, and so perhaps the only surprise is how long it's taken Candice Carty-Williams' 2019 blockbuster debut novel to reach streaming services.
But finally an eight-episode run is set to hit Channel 4 in the UK and Hulu and Disney Plus in the US and RoW respectively, with the trailer (see below) setting up a show that looks set to lift all of the humor, wit and brutal honesty from the page to the screen.
Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old journalist living the struggle in South London – dealing with dual British-Jamaican identities; bearing the weight of expectation from her family; navigating the perils of maintaining a relationship with a white boyfriend. She may be a strong black woman, but that's no shield from the inevitability of the creeping quarter-life-crisis.
Relative newcomer and future star Dionne Brown is in the eponymous role, with the likes of Samuel Adewunmi (Secret Invasion), Jon Pointing (Big Boys) and British singer songwriter Bellah also appearing. And with Sally Phillips also in the cast, it's only fuel on the fire for anybody eager to dub Queenie as a 'black Bridget Jones'.
A self-proclaimed loud, sassy and confrontational woman, Queenie is a magnet for drama. Ready to watch? Then keep reading for all the information you need on how to watch Queenie online – with episodes available to stream for free in the UK.

If you're a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Queenie just as you would at home.

For example, UK citizens currently in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK-based server and tune into all the programmes on Channel 4 from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:
