Watch The Curse: Preview
The genre-bending TV show, written and produced by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, and starring Emma Stone finally gets its official release, both on streaming and linear TV. We explain how to watch The Curse online from anywhere right now. Read on in our guide for all the details.
The Curse is already garnering plenty of noise in early reviews as the meta show sets out to explore race, class, gentrification, and white guilt in what is being described as a strange and frequently unnerving show.
Newly married couple Asher (Fielder) and Whitney Siegel (Stone) star in their own HGTV, house-flipping reality show, with Whitney confessing that she intends for her "homes to [reflect] the local community" they live in. Their city? Española, New Mexico. But when an act of goodwill is performed only for the sake of the cameras and a young girl claims to have put a curse on Asher, things between the couple seem to begin to go wrong.
Putting a mirror up to white savorism, as well as the systematic oppression of the Hispanic and Indigenous people within America, The Curse promises an equal amounts uncomfortable, cringe-worthy, hilarious watch.
Arriving soon on Paramount Plus, here's everything you need to know about how to watch The Curse online from anywhere in the world.
How to watch The Curse online in the US
Initially premiering at the New York Film Festival, The Curse found its streaming home on Paramount Plus, dropping on the service weekly from November 10 for its ten episode run. New episodes will arrive on Paramount Plus every Friday until its finale on January 14.
Unlike international Paramount Plus subscribers, in the US you'll need to stretch for the Paramount Plus with Showtime plan, which throws in all Showtime Originals, too. This includes The Curse, as well as Billions, Yellowjackets, and Special Ops: Lioness.
Those with the linear Showtime TV channel as a part of their cable package can also watch The Curse on Sundays at 10pm ET / PT.
The price of a Paramount Plus subscription with added Showtime is $11.99 a month. However, if you're a new subscriber you can try it for nothing with the 1-week Paramount Plus free trial. You can also save by signing up for a whole year upfront and pay $119.99, working out as $10 a month.
For those who want a cable-like platform without the contracts and hefty bills, both Sling TV and FuboTV carry Showtime. Sling TV currently offers 50% off your first month, while FuboTV has a 7-day free trial. You can also get Showtime as an add-on to your Hulu subscription.
