Canadian flag

Can I watch Gordita Chronicles in Canada?

HBO Max shows are often shown in tandem with the US in Canada via streaming service Crave, but that unfortunately doesn't appear to be the case with Gordita Chronicles.

Sadly at the time of writing, no Canadian broadcaster has confirmed to show the new comedy/drama series.

If you're desperate to see Gordita Chronicles when its first airs in other regions, the only alternative is to use one of the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/uk/vpn/best-vpn" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"">best VPN service providers to tap into coverage from elsewhere, as described above.

The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the same country as the service.

UK flag

Can I stream Gordita Chronicles in the UK?

It's a similar story in the UK, with no word right now whether Gordita Chronicles will be getting a UK release. But with Sky TV the home of many HBO shows and movies – like The Staircase, The Flight Attendant and Game of Thrones – it should hopefully end up here, or on Sky’s streaming platform NOW, sooner or later.
