Luther is the crime drama that sent Idris Elba to stardom but if you’re trying to watch in the United States, Canada, Australia or anywhere else it can be difficult.
I’ve put together this guide to help you out. I’ll be showing you how you can watch Luther in the US, Canada, Australia or anywhere else on the planet!
In the UK Luther is shown by the BBC and online on their streaming service BBC iPlayer. If you try and visit BBC iPlayer to watch Luther outside the UK you’ll be blocked.
Below I’ll show you how you can unblock BBC iPlayer allowing you to watch Luther in any country.
What you need to watch Luther
To watch Luther in the US, Canada, Australia or anywhere else you’ll need to get yourself an app called a ‘VPN’.
A VPN is an online privacy tool that lets you disguise your location so you can appear like you’re in another country. In this case, you’ll want to appear in the UK which will allow you to watch Luther on BBC iPlayer.
There are absolutely hundreds of companies that sell VPN services. Although they all cost approximately the same they can vary widely in quality. It’s important to get yourself a premium VPN service which will let you watch Luther in high-quality and avoid buffering.
For this I recommend using a VPN service called ‘ExpressVPN‘. They’re fast, easy to use and most importantly have a 30-day money back guarantee in case you struggle to get it working.
There are however some other good choices too and if you’ve got time to look around I recommend checking out NordVPN and CyberGhost VPN too.
