How to watch The Traitors (US) season 3 now in the UK and beyond
The first two seasons of The Traitors (US) are available as a box set on BBC iPlayer. However, the latest episodes of season three are currently exclusive to Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service.
Premium (ad-supported) costs $7.99 per month, and Premium Plus (ad-free) costs $13.99 per month.
Outside America you can sign up for Peacock by using a VPN. A VPN can unblock streaming services by making it appear as if you are in the US, regardless of where you actually live.
There are dozens of VPN services, but for unblocking streaming services we recommend NordVPN And Surf shark. Find out more in our guide to the best VPNs for streaming.
Once you’ve chosen your VPN, you’ll need to bypass the payment process. You can do this with an iPhone or Android device and a PayPal account.
How to register your payment information on Peacock US
We successfully created a Peacock Premium account using an Android phone and NordVPN
Here’s what you need to do after downloading your VPN on your mobile device:
- Start your VPN on your iOS/Android device and connect to a US server
- Create a new Apple ID/Google Play account in your browser that is linked to the US
- Register your new account in the app store of your iOS/Android device
- You should now have access to the US app store – download and install the Peacock app
- If you don’t have access to the US app store, log into your VPN on your PC and send the app to your phone over the internet
- Tap ‘skip’ if the app store asks you to add payment information to your account
- Create a new account in the Peacock app with your new email address and a password
- Use PayPal as payment method (this can be a UK account)
- Once your account is verified, you can log in from your browser on your PC/laptop
During testing, I noticed that the Play Store did not change to the US version, even when creating a new account.
The way I got around this was to connect to a VPN on my PC, log into the US Google Play Store website, search for the Peacock app and send it to my phone (which is still connected was with the VPN).
We’ve received reports that people can’t install US streaming apps like Max on iOS because the app store forces users to register their payment details on the app store and UK PayPal won’t accept if you try to register with this account.
If this happens to you, we recommend purchasing US App Store credit via a digital gift card, which can be added as a US payment option. You will need a website that allows you to pay with UK banking details.
If you set your email address as the recipient, the code to redeem the money will be sent to your inbox. When you go to add the payment details, select ‘redeem gift card or code’ and you should be able to add the money as credit to your account.
This should then allow you to sign up for a Peacock account and change your payment details back to your UK PayPal via the website to avoid having to pay for a new gift voucher every time.
