There have been dozens of screen portrayals of Nixon, the one president in US history to resign from the job. But series writer Robbie Pickering focuses on the overlooked story of Martha Mitchell instead – the first person to alert the press to Nixon’s crooked ways – and her husband, Attorney General John N. Mitchell (Sean Penn in heavy prosthetics).

As implied by the title, the Nixon administration did everything possible to discredit Martha’s claims: defaming her as highly paranoid, an alcoholic, and even holding her hostage in a California hotel room to prevent her from speaking to journalists.

In addition to Roberts and Penn, this 8-part series features Dan Stevens as attorney John Dean and GLOW’s Betty Gilpin as Maureen, romantic partners and confidantes during the constitutional crisis. Then there's Shea Whigham (Perry Mason), Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass), Patton Oswalt and The Hurt Locker's Brian Geraghty too.

It’s a refreshing depiction of a well-known government conspiracy, bolstered by an incredible Julia Roberts performance. Just read on to find out how to watch Gaslit online now and stream this compelling new drama from anywhere.

How to watch Gaslit online in the UK

UK fans of edge-of-your seat drama won’t need to wait to watch the highly anticipated Gaslit. Episodes arrived straight to StarzPlay from Sunday, April 24 where they will land from about 5am GMT every week.

The StarzPlay UK channel is available via Amazon Channels (opens in new tab) for £5.99 per month after a 1-week free trial. But you need an Amazon Prime subscription to be able to add Amazon Channels.

New subscribers can sign-up and enjoy a 30-day Amazon FREE trial (opens in new tab) and enjoy perks such as free delivery, ad-free music streaming, and loads of films and TV shows.

After that trial, however, Amazon Prime reverts to £7.99 a month, though you’re free to cancel either subscription at any time.

If you’re travelling and want to stream the shows you normally watch, simply purchase a VPN (opens in new tab). Not only will this overcome geo-block restrictions, but it provides additional security while you’re surfing the web too.

Cable viewers with access to Starz can also enjoy Gaslit from Sunday, April 24 from 9pm ET/PT and with the remaining seven episodes set to air weekly at the same time.

Cord cutters aren’t without options either, as Crave will be the online home for this limited series. An entry-level plan costs CND$9.99 a month (plus tax) – or $CND19.99 if you want more streams and better video quality – but subscribers only pay CND$0.99 for the first month (offer valid until April 30). New episodes land weekly from April 24, premiering at around 3.01 am ET. / 12.01am PT.

If you’re abroad when the high-stakes conspiracy of Gaslit becomes available, geo-blocks will stop you from connecting to the VOD service you'd normally use. A VPN like ExpressVPN (opens in new tab), however, will let you connect to your typical streaming service, and as noted above, they’re currently offering 49% off.

There are tonnes of Stan Originals and hit TV shows and films too, while Stan offers new subscribers an incredible 30-day free trial before paying a thing.

And if you’re abroad? Just purchase a VPN (opens in new tab) as detailed above. It’ll let you stream Gaslit online from anywhere, so you can keep up to date with all the nail-biting political drama.
