Sweetpea stars Ella Purnell as Rhiannon, an average woman who finds life keeps throwing obstacles her way. When a metaphorical straw breaks the camel’s back, she sets off on a bloody quest to enact punishment on those who’ve wronged her.
However the power that this spree gives her awakens a darker side of her, and she begins to take it too far. If that sounds very dark, just know that Sweetpea is billed as a comedy-thriller.
If that sounds right up your street, here’s how to watch Sweetpea.
How to watch Sweetpea in the US
Viewers in the US can watch Sweetpea on the streaming service Starz, which has licensed the series to show in the States.
All six episodes of Sweetpea can be viewed using Starz right now, so you can binge the series at your leisure.
Starz costs $10.99 per month for a subscription so it isn’t cheap, but there are often deals which make your first few months cheaper — the platform tends to offer your first three months for $3, or similar discounts, for new subscribers.
How to watch Sweetpea in the UK
Two different streaming services will let you watch Sweetpea in the UK: Sky TV and Now TV.
Both platforms have all episodes of the series within their libraries already, so you won’t have to wait to watch them all. If you’d rather watch using the live channels, Sky TV will be showing episodes on Sky Atlantic every Thursday at 9 pm too.
Sky TV costs roughly £26 per month (the price varies depending on how long you sign up for), so it isn't cheap, but various Sky TV deals sweeten the pot for new subscribers. Now TV is the cheaper option but you won’t be able to watch the show on live channels.
