Why are some episodes showing up for rent or purchase?

Your BritBox subscription includes all our current shows and movies with no additional rental or purchase fees.

If programming is showing for rent or purchase, you may be trying to view it outside of BritBox.com or the app. There are two common reasons for this occurrence on select vendor partner sites, shows on recurring scheduled releases or a search on the partner site outside of their BritBox app. 

More on this below:

Scheduled Releases

Some shows will have new episodes on a schedule. 

If you're viewing a show or season on Amazon Prime or Apple TV Channels before BritBox has added all episodes, the remaining episodes may show for rent or purchase by Amazon or Apple. 

You can watch all episodes using your BritBox subscription when all episodes have been added. 

Searching Outside of BritBox

If you searched for the show or movie name in the search bar on a partner platform such as Amazon Prime or used the voice control feature on your device to search, you'll see a rent or buy option from separate, unaffiliated providers.

Instead, you can navigate the BritBox channel or app and search within BritBox for the show you're looking for.
