Emily Blunt is the latest Hollywood star to make the move to the small screen, as she stars in The English, a sprawling new epic western series. Portraying an aristocratic Englishwoman who journeys through the frontier of 1890s America on a mission of vengeance with a Pawnee scout (Chaske Spencer), read on for our guide below on how to watch The English online no matter where you are in the world.
The six-episode series sees the unlikely duo trek through the violent and lawless west as the story eventually develops into a murder mystery in a frontier town.
The English comes with some pedigree. The big budget limited series is written and directed by Hugo Blick, whose award-winning TV series include The Honourable Woman, Black Earth Rising and The Shadow Line.
Initially airing on BBC Two, those in the UK can watch new episodes every Thursday in full 100% for free on BBC iPlayer, while elsewhere around the world The English will be available to watch via an Amazon Prime Video subscription (opens in new tab). Not going to be in the country? Why not try a VPN to watch BBC iPlayer as if you were at home (opens in new tab) and watch The English online from anywhere.
