Chris, a UK-born media connoisseur, is an expert in watching international TV. Known as "The Global Screen Wanderer", he has travelled extensively across the globe with long stints away from home. With over 10 years of experience he has become the go-to guru for streaming content from home and abroad.
The A List is the UK’s attempt at a ‘Riverdale’ and if you want to watch it in your country this is the guide you need.
In this guide I’ll be showing you how you can watch The A List in any country right now. Best of all is this will only take you a few minutes to do and most importantly, there are no sketchy illegal websites involved either.
The A List has been taking the UK by storm recently. If you love Riverdale but you want another take on the genre then check out what the British BBC has to offer.
It’s possible The A List may make it to other countries but it could be a long while off and if you want to avoid spoilers and be ahead of the trend then read on to find out how you can watch right now.
Step 1: Know what you’ll need to watch
The A List is available to watch right now online on the UK’s BBC iPlayer service. You can binge watch all 13 episodes because it’s been released in one swoop Netflix style.
If you visit the BBC iPlayer website then you’ll be blocked from watching because you’re not in the UK.
The way to bypass this block is to use a VPN. A VPN is a tiny app for your computer, tablet, phone, Amazon Fire TV Stick or other device that lets you access overseas TV services.
I’ve been using the company ExpressVPN but there are a whole host of other providers too. My three recommended VPN providers for watching The A List outside the UK are:
- ExpressVPN – Recommended
- NordVPN
- CyberGhost VPN
It’s important to note that even though there are literally thousands of companies that sell VPN services not all work with BBC iPlayer that shows The A List. Thankfully the three recommended providers above do and I’ve tried and tested them.
Follow the steps below to find out how you can watch The A List using a VPN.

What’s The A List all about?
Stranger Things and Riverdale have seen audiences move to Netflix in their droves. The UK’s BBC wants a piece of that action and is trying to encourage the teenage market to watch their service.
Step forward The A List. A new 13-part supernatural drama from the UK’s famous BBC network.
The A List borrows some of the best parts of Netflix’s star shows but it isn’t an exact copy and it’s why it’s got audiences so excited. The show throws a British twist on things and if you’ve been a fan of movies like Harry Potter or other British shows then you’ll know the Brits can do things well.
I’m not going to spoil the show for you but isn’t it about time you got yourself a VPN so you can watch The A List in your country?
