How to watch Doom Patrol season 2 online: stream every new episode today

While there are hundreds of VPNs to choose from, we always recommend ExpressVPN. As well as being fast, simple, and straightforward to install, it's also compatible with a whole host of devices - Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android to name some of the main ones.

Plus, ExpressVPN's flexible 30-day money back guarantee is difficult to argue with. Even better, you can purchase an annual plan for a 49% discount and 3 months extra FREE – a brilliant offer for an essential bit of software.

Once installed, select the location of your home country and simply click connect to watch Doom Patrol at home from anywhere on the planet.

Doom Patrol season 2 lands in the US on Thursday, June 25 and will be available to watch on both the HBO Max and DC Universe streaming platforms. The first two episodes are set to drop at this time, with future episodes going live on Thursdays as well.

Both are standalone services that don't require (or even encourage) a cable subscription - if they're new to you, one obvious point of comparison would be Hulu, which you might have heard of.

HBO Max costs just $14.99 a month, but it offers a free 7-day trial - so you can effectively watch the first two episodes of Doom Patrol season 2 for free. Having only just launched, it's already a great all-rounder, offering original shows like Love Life and Legendary, as well as a rich library of on demand content that will appeal to DC fans - including movies like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman

Similarly, DC Universe  is a streaming service dedicated to all things DC and can be had for just $7.99 a month. It also offers a free 1-week trial, so there's another way to watch Doom Patrol season 2 for free. It also has all of season 1 to watch on demand, making it a great option if you're new to the Patrol.

Anyone from America who wants to access either service from abroad will need to use a VPN to do so. If you're signing up from scratch, have your US credit card details handy to get streaming faster, as many services require these - though some (such as DC Universe) accept PayPal.

It's good news for DC fans in Canada, as Doom Patrol season 2 is getting a double-bill debut on June 25 at 9pm ET on the CTV Sci-Fi Channel - making the episodes available more or less at the same time as they are in the US.

CTV Sci-Fi can be streamed via the channel's website or by using its app - you'll need to register with details of your TV provider, but provided you can do so, there's no extra charge to watch online.

CTV also says it's making the first two episodes of Doom Patrol season 2 available to watch 'for free', which may mean you can watch them without logging in - though this won't be 100% certain until the episodes actually start airing.

Those wanting to catch-up on or watch season 1 can do so via Canadian streaming service Crave  - where there's a free 30-day trial on offer. 

Anyone in Canada from abroad who'd prefer to watch using a different service need only download a VPN to relocate themselves back to their home country.

The release date of Doom Patrol season 2 isn't confirmed in Australia - though it's easy to watch season 1 Down Under.

New streaming service Binge has every episode of Doom Patrol season 1 available to watch right now - and costing as little as AU$10 a month with a FREE 14-day trial  to get you started, you could comfortably watch all of the first season without paying a penny.

In Australia from abroad an don't want to sign-up for another service, when you already pay for one at home? Then simply follow our VPN advice as detailed above to get a taste of home.

Doom Patrol season 2 is coming to the UK - you just need to be a bit more patient than your fellow superheroes in other countries. 

All episodes are set to drop on StarzPlay on Thursday, July 16 - just after the series ends its latest run in the US and elsewhere.

StarzPlay is available to watch on a wide range of devices including phones, tablets, Roku devices, PCs, laptops, Android TV, select Smart TVs and consoles - either by downloading the StarzPlay app or by watching in your browser through its website.

Best of all, it only costs £4.99 a month and offers a FREE 7-day trial to new subscribers. While there may still be a bit of a wait for season 2, it's currently got all Doom Patrol season 1 episodes available to watch online to keep you busy.

Another way to watch StarzPlay is through Amazon Prime Video - provided you've got an Amazon Prime subscription, StarzPlay is available for the same affordable £4.99 monthly cost and also offers a FREE 1-week trial. If you don't have Prime yet, don't forget it offers a wide range of benefits beyond just Prime Video - and has a generous 30-day trial period of its own.

But for now, the only option is for those in the UK from a country where it is possible to watch Doom Patrol season 2 is to grab a VPN as described above and stream episodes as they normally would. Just remember to have any local details required to hand, so you can get watching right away.
