Billy the Kid season 1 is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, April 24. Based on the life of the famous American outlaw, Billy the Kid, expect the story to follow his humble beginnings to his days as a gunslinger in the American frontier, and beyond. Unfortunately, Billy the Kid season 1 won’t be available to stream from every country. That’s why you need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch from abroad.

Note that we’re only going to be recommending official sources for watching Billy the Kid season 1. Although unlicensed streams may be available, their inferior resolution, excessive lag, and risk of being taken offline for copyright violation means they’re best avoided. Instead, stick with the official sources as listed in this post. That way, you can watch in the highest quality without running the risk of missing out on the season 1 premiere.

Billy the Kid season 1 will stream on region-locked platforms. To watch via your usual home streaming service while on vacation, you’ll need to connect to a VPN.

How to watch Billy the Kid season 1online with a VPN

When you connect to a VPN server, you receive a different IP address. This makes it appear as if you’re in another location (such as the country in which a particular streaming service is available). That’s why many people use VPNs to watch region-locked shows such as Billy the Kid season 1 while traveling abroad.

Here’s how to stream Billy the Kid season 1 from anywhere:

  • The first step is to sign up with a VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN. However, Surfshark and ExpressVPN are also fast, reliable options for live streaming.
  • Next, download and install the VPN app that’s compatible with your streaming device. This is easy to do and shouldn’t take more than a minute.
  • Log in to the VPN app and connect to a server in the US. Doing so ensures you get a US IP address which is needed to watch content on the EPIX streaming platform.
  • Go to EPIX and sign in. Don’t yet have EPIX? There are multiple ways to watch, all of which are covered further down in this post.
  • Select a live stream which should now play without restriction. Still doesn’t work? Clear your browser’s cookies. Alternatively, try connecting to a different server.

Keep in mind that Billy the Kid season 1 will air live on EPIX. That’s why we recommend you test your VPN connection in advance. Should you have any trouble, you can then try contacting your VPN’s customer support to troubleshoot the issue.

There are no hidden terms—just contact support within 30 days if you decide NordVPN isn’t right for you and you’ll get a full refund. Start your NordVPN trial here.

Billy the Kid season 1 will premiere on EPIX. The good news is that there are a number of ways you can watch the EPIX network. For starters, you may already have access to it via your cable TV subscription. If this is the case, all you need to do is go to the EPIX website or EPIX NOW app. Enter the same login details you use with your cable TV subscription and you should then find all content to be available to stream.

Of course, you may not have cable TV which means you’ll want to access EPIX through the EPIX Now app. You’d then need to pay a monthly subscription (currently priced at $5.99/GBP £4.59 a month). Select TV streaming services such as Sling TV and YouTube TV also offer EPIX although they work out to be more expensive because you have to pay the base subscription plus an additional $5.99 for the EPIX add-on.

While EPIX is only available in the US, you can watch its content (such as Billy the Kid season 1) abroad by using a VPN. More specifically, you’ll need to connect to a server in the US to get a US IP address. The content should then become unblocked regardless of your physical location. Don’t yet have a VPN to do this? You can always try NordVPN which comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try it out risk-free.

Where else can I watch Billy the Kid season 1 online?

Australia

While there’s little news yet regarding international premieres of Billy the Kid season 1, we do know that it’s also coming to Australia. Indeed, it will be available to stream on Stan on Monday, April 25. Subscription plans start from AUD $10 a month and there’s even a 30-day free trial so you can watch multiple episodes of Billy the Kid season 1 while on vacation.

Like EPIX, Stan is only available in one country (Australia). If you travel overseas, you’ll find its content to be region-locked. To watch it anywhere, connect to a server in Australia for an Australian IP address.

What should I know about Billy the Kid season 1?

If you ask anyone to name an infamous outlaw, chances are they’d say Jesse James or Billy the Kid. In this new epic adventure from EPIX, we see how Billy went from a humble upbringing to becoming an infamous gunslinging cowboy. When his family move out west to “the land of opportunity”, they soon find out they’ve been sold a lie. Billy is determined to get what he feels his family was promised and thus we follow his Wild West adventures and events such as his pivotal role in the Lincoln County War. Season 1 of the western series will consist of eight episodes and you can get a sneak peek via the official trailer.
