Watch The Veil Online: Synopsis
The queen of peak TV is back! In FX’s The Veil, Elisabeth Moss plays a globe-trotting MI6 Agent armed with a Glock and dozens of identities, whose latest mission involves averting a deadly terrorist attack. Boasting an incredible cast (James Purefoy, Yumna Marwan), and penned by BAFTA-winning screenwriter Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Taboo), this six-part series delivers adrenaline-fueled spy thrills and plenty of surprises. Below we explain how to watch The Veil online, and exclusively on Hulu in the US.
Described as “the best role of her career” by FandomWire, The Veil finds the Emmy-winning star of The Handmaid’s Tale adopting a brand-new identity as “Imogen Salter.” In an assignment paramount to national security, she’ll need to befriend Adilah El Idrissi (a superb Marwan), a woman described as “intelligent and untrustworthy,” in the hopes of gaining her confidence and averting a terrorist plot expected to kill half-a-million people. But, as they dash from Istanbul to Paris and London, will she earn the trust of her latest mark, and avoid revealing too many of her own secrets?
Rounding out the cast are Dali Benssalah (No Time To Die) as Imogen’s French-Algerian handler Malik, Call My Agent!’s Thibault de Montalembert as his boss, Alec Secăreanu (God’s Own Country), and Josh Charles as the CIA’s Max Peterson: all international power-players butting heads while Imogen endeavors to uncover the truth from Marwan in a life-or-death race-against-the-clock.
With critics now weighing in on The Veil and Elisabeth Moss' performance, get ready for the next spy sensation. Just read on below, where we break down how to watch The Veil online, for free and from anywhere in the world.

How to watch The Veil online from anywhere
US citizen on vacation? Or perhaps you're working overseas and still want to stream The Veil on a streaming service as if you were back home. Unfortunately, in some markets you'll be stopped from doing so due to geo-blocking.
But with a VPN you can change your IP address and make your computer, smartphone, tablet or other streaming device think its right back in the US.
That means US citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server and access their subscription no matter where you are in the world, just as if you were in the comfort of your own home.
How to use a VPN to unblock streaming services:
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 Hulu, for example, you'll want to connect to a server based in the US
3. Go to the stream you wish to access - for The Veil, head to Hulu.
How to watch The Veil online in Canada
Canadian viewers can watch FX’s latest hit series from Tuesday, April 30, the same day as their US neighbors. You’ll need Disney Plus, however, to watch The Veil in the Great North.

Can I watch The Veil online in the UK?
Sadly, no release date has been confirmed by Disney Plus in the UK. But, as has been the case with other FX on Hulu shows (like Feud, American Horror Story, and Shogun), Brits are almost certain to be able to watch The Veil on Disney Plus at some point in the near future.
Disney Plus plans begin from as little as £4.99. Of course, subscribers have the option of upgrading to the ad-free Standard plan at £7.99 a month, or the £10.99 Premium option, which supports 4K and HDR streaming.
