How to watch Queenie online from anywhere

The latest book-to-screen adaptation, Queenie is an eight-part limited series based on Candice Carty-Williams' best-selling 2019 novel of the same name. Also created and executively produced by Carty-Williams, Queenie follows a British-Jamaican woman through a particularly turbulent year in her mid-twenties. Here's where to watch Queenie online for free – from anywhere.

Meet Queenie, a 25 year-old Black British woman split between two cultures and struggling to find her place within either, portrayed by newcomer Dionne Brown. Offering an all too relatable tale for millennial women, she's also just broken up with her longterm boyfriend Tom – Big Boys' Jon Pointing – and is struggling to have her worth seen at work as a journalist for The Daily Read under the tyrannical rule of her editor, Gina (Sally Phillips, Bridget Jones' Diary).

Inevitably, Queenie goes looking for comfort and validation in all the wrong places, with her every ill-made choice fed to and roasted by the electric WhatsApp group chat. Dubbed "The Corgis", Queenie's gaggle of supportive gal pals is comprised of Kyzaike (Bellah), Cassandra (Elisha Applebaum), and Darcy (Tilly Keeper, You).

Winning Book of the Year at the British Book Awards in 2020, Queenie is a story of identity, love and relationships, and how life will have you questioning all the ways you do, in fact, matter.

Also starring Llewella Gideon as Queenie's Grandma Veronica, Michelle Greenidge as Aunty Maggie, and Joseph Marcell as Grandad Wilfred, family is another central theme in Queenie, with Samuel Adewunmi joining the cast to portray Queenie's high school friend, Frank, "a man with his own van and grand plans".

With Carty-Williams herself at the helm of the TV adaptation, Queenie is sure to pack as much heart and humour as its source material. Hitting Channel 4 in the UK and Hulu in the States, we explain exactly how to watch Queenie online from anywhere below.
