“The War Between the Land and the Sea” is currently a BBC/Disney+ title, with availability depending on where you live. Here is where to watch it now and where it is headed next.
UK
- You can watch it for free (with a valid TV licence) on BBC iPlayer on demand.
- New episodes are also broadcast on BBC One on Sunday evenings, with the whole 5‑episode set available as a box set on iPlayer shortly after the premiere.
US
- A US streaming release is planned for Disney+ in 2026, but the exact date has not yet been announced.
- Until it arrives on Disney+, there is no official US platform other than accessing BBC iPlayer from within the UK; using VPNs to bypass region locks goes against most services’ terms of use.
Other countries
- Outside the UK and US, Disney+ holds the international rights and is expected to add the series in 2026 in territories like Canada and Australia, with dates still to be confirmed.
- In the meantime, it is not on Netflix or other major global platforms; purchase options (like Amazon or Apple TV) may appear gradually but are secondary to BBC iPlayer in the UK and Disney+ abroad.
