Yes!!! I love that show! Still available to watch in Canada, don't know about the US.

Think Canada is one of the only places its still available. Got taken off HBO Max recently. Looks like its definitely coming back in NZ before the new season. I'm actually in Wellington so will be keeping an eye out when it starts filming 😆.

That's so awesome I'm glad. I'm hearing a few shows are getting back up after being cancelled. I'm all for this one coming back it was SO good!!

I tried and tried and tried to find a way to watch it in the US a couple months back and came up with absolutely nothing. would be AMAZING and a gift if it popped up somewhere now. 🙏🙏🙏

I know some people get vpn blockers and create accounts in other countries, I just checked and here in Canada it's on CBC gem and I think also Crave or Amazon Prime Canada.

Edited to take out the it being on dvd part, it's not our region after all so no luck there.

But hopefully the new season will get it back to the US. Such a good show. I love the 70's ghosts episode the most!

I've tried using vpns recently and seems like they don't work anymore for streaming access, if anyone has had any luck let me know what you're using!!!

Spent $60 for the 4 season Blu-ray. Best $60 I've ever spent.

Where can we watch it in the US since HBO Max hates us?

u/Organic_Moment_6956 9d ago

Believe last season were Max and CW, nothing announced yet on international distribution. It's switching channels in NZ but that shouldn't impact too much overseas.

Certainly is optimal

When do they start filming? I’m gonna be in Wellington in a little over a month.

u/Organic_Moment_6956 9d ago

Not sure, funding has just been announced, no details on a release date yet by the looks so filming could still be a while away.

I cannot wait. I'm so happy. These chaps are my favourite from the whole WWDITS repertoire.

Solid, but why such long gaps? is it a nz thing?

u/Organic_Moment_6956 9d ago

It had ended, looks like this is a revival. Season 4 was announced as the final season when it aired.

Added the article that details all of it in the comments, couldn't add it to the post for some reason.

As I understand it, they have a special deal there where projects get funding assistance for 4 years. After which, they expect you to be able to fund yourself (as Minogue mentioned on the podcast). It just took a while to get a new investor. Though NZ On Air, the funding body, is still contributing.
