Ready for one more round with the Gallaghers? Shameless season 11 is back on Showtime from 9pm ET/PT on Sunday, December 6, and at the same time every week.

If you’ve got Showtime as part of your cable subscription, catching the final season will be a cinch. But, if you’ve cut the cord, there are plenty of OTT providers to help you get your fix:

Sling TV (opens in new tab) is one of the best value cable replacements: offering between 33 and 45 core channels, Premium extras, and substantial on-demand content – all for $30 a month. You’d need to add Showtime to your core package at an additional $10 a month, as it’s a Premium add-on bundle with 9 channels total (like Showtime Extreme and Showtime Family).

However, there’s always a few enticing offers available for new Slingers. Right now, you can get either $10 off your first month (which would cover one month of Showtime!) – or, after paying the first month in full, get your second month entirely free (their BOGO deal) and so saving a tidy $30.

Showtime Now (opens in new tab) is ideal if you want to skip the filler and luxuriate solely in the network’s best shows. For $8.99 a month you can stream Shameless season 11 AND watch hit programmes like Dexter, Billions, and The Good Lord Bird (opens in new tab), in addition to a range of films and documentaries – all without the interruption of adverts. And new customers get to enjoy a 30-Day Free Trial (opens in new tab) first too.

Amazon Prime Video (opens in new tab) customers might want to add Showtime to their basic subscription plan, which will cost an additional $10.99 on top of their monthly membership fee. However, it’s worth noting that new Prime members are entitled to a 30-day free trial (opens in new tab) before having to pay a thing, while Showtime comes with its own week-long free trial too.

Hulu is also worth considering if you’re a TV fiend, and fancy combining Live TV with on-demand content. Plus, they also provide members a no-strings-attached 7-Day Free Trial.

Looking to binge the whole Shameless saga from 2011 onwards? Then Netflix (opens in new tab) has all 10 prior seasons available to stream as part of their Basic, $8.99 a month plan.

Finally, remember that a VPN (opens in new tab) will let you watch Shameless season 11 online live as it airs or on-demand. So, if you’re abroad over the holidays, purchase one and watch the rowdy final season from wherever you are.

The hilariously chaotic exploits of Shameless are reaching an end, and Canadians can enjoy the final hurrah at the same time as their American cousins. Season 11 of Shameless will debut on VOD service Crave (opens in new tab) on Sunday, December 6 from 9pm ET, with a new episode available every week.

You’ll need to pick the Movies + HBO plan to get access, which will cost CND$19.98 (plus tax) per month. It’s twice the price of the basic plan, but does include simultaneous access to the hottest HBO programmes and Hollywood films, in addition to Showtime content and 6 live channels. Plus, you’ll enjoy a 7-day free trial (opens in new tab) before you pay a thing, and you can cancel whenever.

For fans of Paul Abbott’s iconic series, season 10 is also available to watch on Crave. If you want to recap earlier instalments, however, then Netflix (opens in new tab) currently holds streaming rights to seasons 1 through 9.

Found yourself away from home? Then regional restrictions will prevent you from connecting to your usual IPTV service. But don’t worry. Just download a service like ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) and keep connected with Ian, Lip, Debbie, and the rest of the Gallagher crew, from anywhere in the world.

Unfortunately, Brits have to wait to see what married life holds for Ian and Mickey, and whether Fiona will make a return for the concluding season.

It’s par for the course that there’s a delay between the broadcast of the most recent episodes in America, and their acquisition by Netflix in the UK. Season 9 only became available in September 2020, six months after its US broadcast ended. So, although we expect to see season 10 added soon, we don’t anticipate the final run of Shameless will be available in the UK before August 2021.

In the meantime, those looking to recap the misadventures of the Gallagher family can watch seasons 1 through 9 on Netflix (opens in new tab), for £5.99 per month with the service’s entry-level plan.

Note that, if you’ve temporarily left the country on vacation or for work, then you won’t be able to access the streaming service you’re registered to back home…unless you purchase a VPN!  (opens in new tab)

It’s the easiest way to get access to regionally-blocked content – in addition to keeping your online information safe – from anywhere on the planet.

It’s a similar situation in Australia, with audiences Down Under having to wait months until the final season becomes available. Season 10 was recently added to Netflix, however, so they’re a step ahead of the game compared to Brits, and might see season 11 ready to stream by the middle of next year.

Until then, every previous season of Shameless, all 10 of them, is available to watch on Netflix (opens in new tab). That’s a pretty decent haul! You can watch these by signing up for the service’s Basic, AUS10.99 a month plan.

Finally, it’s worth reiterating that just because you’re away from home doesn’t mean you can’t say goodbye to Showtime’s longest-running original drama series. Download and install a VPN like ExpressVPN (opens in new tab), and you’ll be free to watch Shameless season 11 online no matter where you are.
