Watch The Jetty: Synopsis
Still waters run deep in this BBC drama about a detective reckoning with the dark deeds of a Lancashire town. Jenna Coleman, star of The Serpent and ITV’s Victoria, heads up an incredible cast alongside House of the Dragon’s Tom Glynn-Carney, in this multi-layered series that’s part crime thriller, part coming-of-age story, and a bruising examination of sexual morality and memory. Read on below for further details on how to watch The Jetty online, from anywhere and 100% free on BBC iPlayer.
Written and created by Cat Jones (Waterloo Road, Hulu’s Harlots), The Jetty introduces audiences to an “iconic” new detective in the form of Ember Manning (played by Jenna Coleman). She’s as enigmatic as the perpetrators of the crimes she’s looking to solve, a widow with buried secrets of her own, and described by producer Elizabeth Kilgarriff as “complex, funny, and utterly human”.
The detective begins her beat investigating arson at a holiday home in a lakeside Lancashire town. Somehow, the incident turns out to be connected to a missing person’s case from many years ago, one which podcaster Riz (BAFTA-nominee Weruche Opia, I May Destroy You) is researching for her show about "crimes against women and girls."
As the story unfolds, Manning finds corruption too close for comfort, learns about an illicit “love” triangle between an older man and two underage girls, and even begins to question her past relationship with her now dead husband.
The four-part series has been favorably compared to HBO’s Sharp Objects and the Elizabeth Moss-starring Top of the Lake, with Kilgarriff effusing that the show is “provocative, thrilling, and deliciously surprising at every turn.” In addition to Coleman, the show also features Ruby Stokes (Bridgerton), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone) and Game of Throne's Ralph Ineson.
Boasting heightened drama and suspenseful scripts, The Jetty should find fans among audiences the world over. So, get ready for your next BBC drama binge: read the following guide for everything to know about how to watch The Jetty online and from anywhere with a VPN.
Watch The Jetty online in the UK for free
UK viewers can watch The Jetty through the BBC. The show premiered on July 15 on BBC One, with a couple of episodes airing per week for its short 4-episode run. All episodes were also made available to watch on via BBC iPlayer, which is where you can stream The Jetty from start-to-finish now.
BBC iPlayer is available on a number of devices and it’s absolutely FREE to watch. To create a BBC account, all you need is an email address and a UK postcode (e.g. W12 7FW), in addition to a valid TV licence.

How to watch The Jetty from anywhere
If you're a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can watch The Jetty and stream every episode just like you would back home.
While BBC iPlayer is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address, allowing you to watch UK TV online by making it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK based server and tune into all the programmes on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, just like you 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 $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan.
2. Connect to a server – for BBC iPlayer, for example, you'll want to connect to a server based in the UK.
3. Go to the stream you wish to access - for The Jetty, head to BBC iPlayer.

A Brit travelling in New Zealand? Use a VPN to port yourself home and access BBC iPlayer for a free stream of The Jetty.
Can I watch The Jetty online in the US?
There’s no word that The Jetty will have a US release just yet. We do know that BBC Studios is in charge of international distribution. And, given they own the BritBox streaming service, which is the home of other UK exports like Blue Lights, Trigger Point, and The Responder, it’s quite likely that new miniseries The Jetty will show up here too.
Out of the country? Download a VPN to connect to your home service and stream every episode of The Jetty free on BBC iPlayer.
Can I watch The Jetty free online in Australia?
No broadcaster has announced that they’ll be airing The Jetty Down Under, neither have any of the big Aussie streaming services like Stan or Binge. We’re sure that’ll change. But for now, if you’re based in Australia, you won’t be able to watch the new BBC drama.
A Brit traveling abroad? Then you’ll be blocked from connecting to regional services like BBC iPlayer. Download a VPN, however, and you can stream content from all your usual platforms from anywhere.
Can I watch The Jetty online in Canada?
Canadians looking to watch The Jetty online are also out of luck. The BBC series is currently only licensed to stream in the UK through the channel’s catch-up service, BBC iPlayer. If and when the show finds a Canadian home, we’ll be sure to update this space.
Currently away from home? A VPN will let you connect to BBC iPlayer and stream every episode of The Jetty free, just like you would at home.
