With Sky TV you can watch new episodes of the HBO comedy live on the Sky Comedy channel from April 26. There’s just one caveat. They’re broadcast at around 2am every Monday morning. Still, with a Sky+HD box you can record the girl’s zany antics to enjoy them at a more respectable time of day.

TV plans start at £25 a month as part of an 18-month contract, and you’ll need to cough up for the one-off installation fee. Our dedicated guide to today's best Sky TV deals and packages will help unite you with your perfect plan.

Meanwhile, Sky-owned VOD platform Now TV has season 1 available until 1 July 2021. Unfortunately though, there’s currently no word if or when season 2 will be added. It's possible Sky have broadcasting rights but not streaming rights, so we’ll update this space if we hear more.
