How to watch The Patient online: stream the new thriller starring Steve Carell where you are

This new FX thriller will land on Hulu from Tuesday, August 30 at around 3.01am ET/ 12.01am PT, with three episodes ready to watch immediately and a new episode available each week until the series finale on October 18.

You can bag a Hulu plan for as little as $6.99 a month. Hulu even offers a FREE 1-month trial, which means you could work your way through plenty of great TV shows – like Under the Banner of Heaven, Only Murders in the Building and The Kardashians  – before having to pay a dime.

For those after great value for money, sign up to the Disney Plus bundle, with more details below.

Watch The Patient with the Hulu-Disney Plus-ESPN Plus Bundle 

$6.99 per month gets you the Hulu on-demand plan, but for even more movies and TV shows, live sports and Disney Plus Originals like Marvel’s Moon Knight, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and the upcoming Rogue One spin-off Andor, sign up for the $13.99 a month Disney Bundle instead. That gives you access to all three services – ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, and Hulu – and will save you $8 a month rather than if you subscribed to each one individually.

The Patient will be available to stream exclusively on Disney Plus in Canada. The first three episodes are set to arrive on Tuesday, August 30 just like in the US, and a new episode is uploaded at the same time every week.

The Star hub on Disney Plus is a Hulu-surrogate available to international viewers only, providing more grown-up content like Solar Opposites, Love, Victor, Desperate Housewives, and the Predator and Alien franchises for you to enjoy.

Currently, a monthly Disney Plus subscription costs $11.99 CAD. But there's a saving to be had if you sign up for the year, with an annual subscription costing $119.99 CAD.

The Patient has been slated to arrive on Disney Plus in the UK as well as other international territories, although a fixed date hasn’t been announced yet. 

Judging by the release patterns of previous FX series like The Old Man, viewers across the Atlantic should expect a roughly two-month wait after the final episode drops on Hulu. That could mean all episodes landing on the platform around mid-December.

Disney Plus costs £7.99 per month in the UK (or £79.90 for an annual subscription), and plays host to a massive library of family entertainment, including almost the entire Disney, Star Wars and Marvel cinematic library and spin offs, plus more adult fare with Star (Die Hard, the Alien films) and National Geographic content.

Other great shows on Disney Plus include Pam & Tommy, The Walking Dead and The Dropout. Take a look at all the rest of the best Disney Plus shows that you can stream right now.

As mentioned above, we’d expect The Patient to touch down on Disney Plus around mid-December in international markets, as part of the more adult-oriented Star hub that includes shows like Love, Victor, Welcome to Wrexham, This Fool, and the Alien and Predator movies.

You can get a subscription to Disney Plus for $11.99 AUD a month in Australia. But you’ll save over 15% if you chose an annual subscription and pay the one-off cost of $119.99 AUD.
