Depending on your country your options for watching and rewatching 12 Monkeys may be different.

DIGITAL STREAMING     ^

All seasons are available on Hulu in the USA  (as of 20 June 2019)

While previously seasons 1-3 were available on Netflix in many other countries, these have been gradually removed.

Astonishingly, to date, there is still no legal source to view Season 4 in the UK.

Because every country is different the easiest way to work out how you can watch is to check a dedicated search tool like justwatch.com, the international streaming search engine. This will give you up to date information on which service providers offer streaming and digital download purchase of 12 Monkeys in your country.

If the season isn’t available on a streaming service, it is probably available to purchase as a digital download though.

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD    ^



In most countries, all 4 seasons of the show are available for purchase or rent digitally – a check of justwatch.com will tell you which provider you can use in your country.

SOUNDTRACK    ^

The Soundtracks for Seasons 1, 3 and 4 are all available to purchase and stream. Season 2 has not been released.

You can listen to the season 1, 3 and 4 soundtracks on Spotify, or buy them as Digital Download  or CD from the usual places.

Showrunner Terry Matalas announced on his Twitter feed that the original soundtrack for season 4 would get a simultaneous release on iTunes through Lakeshore Records on the 15th of June to coincide with the screening of the first 3 episodes on SYFY.

This is the second score Composer Stephen Barton has created for the show, with his soundtrack for Season 3 already available on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.
