Accused on FOX is based on a British series of the same name. Is it possible to watch the British version of the show online?
You’ve seen the 15 episodes of Accused on FOX, and now you’re waiting for the second season. The good news is this show is coming back. The bad news is that it’s caught up in the strike action.
This is a series based on a British show of the same name. The British series follows a similar format. Each episode is a standalone story, with us finding out what the person on trial is facing court for and how the trial turns out throughout the course of the episode.
Now you’ll want to watch this version while you wait for Season 2. Is that possible?
Where to stream Accused UK online
There is a little bit of bad news. It doesn’t look like it is possible to stream the British version of the show online. At least, not just yet.
It may be possible to buy the episodes via the likes of Amazon Instant Video and Apple TV, but there is no guarantee of this. It’s a show that hasn’t made its way across to this side of the pond just yet.
That being said, the strike action could lead to change. We could see more acquisitions happen as the broadcast networks find a way to keep fall TV somewhat normal for the year. After all, broadcast networks will want some scripted dramas to run. We have seen CBS acquire the UK version of Ghosts to complement the U.S. version, so could FOX end up acquiring the rights to the British version of Accused?
We’ll need to see how things play out as the strike progresses. This is set to be a long strike, though.
Accused is available to stream on Hulu. Stay tuned for any updates about the British version.
