How to use a VPN to watch The Jetty from anywhere
No stranger to BBC crime drama after turns in The Serpent and The Cry, Jenna Coleman plays Detective Ember Manning, whose latest case, a potential arson, leads her down a path that opens old wounds for both her and her idyllic Lancashire town and forces her to re-evaluate the past she thought she knew.
The investigation weaves a twisted web involving a true-crime podcaster, a child predator and a pair of teenage girls in a story that explores consent and complicitness and how the #metoo movement has shone a light on behaviours past generations turned a blind eye to.
With a stacked cast that also includes Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), Ruby Stokes (Lockwood & Co.), Weruche Opia (I May Destroy You) and Ralph Ineson (The Witch), The Jetty promises to be an addictive, twisting and thought-provoking watch with a powerhouse performance from Coleman at it’s centre.

How to watch The Jetty from anywhere with a VPN
If you're traveling outside the UK, you can watch The Jetty on the BBC iPlayer streaming by using a VPN – no matter where you are in the world!
Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.
Our favorite VPN is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
