Having said goodbye to all of her friends and family in Santo Domingo, Gordita, played by Olivia Goncalves, now navigates the challenges of being an immigrant in a strange new world with humour, swagger and a succession of very bad choices.

Also struggling with the transition to Miami is her marketing-executive father Víctor (Juan Javier Cardenas), her bolshy mother Adela (Diana Maria Riva) and older sister Emilia (Savannah Nicole Ruiz), as it emerges their new home isn't all they expected it to be.

Executive produced by Hollywood stars Zoe Saldana and Eva Longoria, with Longoria directing the first episode, the 10-episode season looks set to be one of the most talked about shows of the summer.

You can catch this highly anticipated new show exclusively on HBO Max now. Below are all the details you'll need on how to watch Gordita Chronicles online.

How to watch Gordita Chronicles on HBO Max in the US

Gordita Chronicles arrives on Thursday, 23 June. Those with cable or an IPTV service that includes HBO can catch it at 9pm ET/PT, while cord-cutters will want to subscribe to HBO Max to stream the comedy/drama.

If you're not already a HBO Max subscriber and are curious about the service, the first thing to know is there are two HBO Max price points - $9.99 a month with commercials, or the 4K HDR, commercial-free subscription at $14.99 that also brings 4K streams and Dolby Atmos sound.

Alternatively, save 16% and sign up to its annual plan for a $99.99/$149.99 fee. It means you’ll get two months of free streaming for the year.

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 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.

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.
