Additional Airing Notes:
Once Upon A Time is back in the UK on Netflix. New episodes being added every Saturday.
When will series 7 of once upon a time air on netflix
Should be on in September. It’ll be the day after (or close to) the US air date. 🙂
I know why the a left it for a bit cos they stop when it gets to Christmas and new year and after new year they work on new episodes and then release them like a month or two later simple really
why has once upon a time stopped at season 6 episode 10 ?
Its because the americans have midseason finals, hopefully they’ll have the rest soon
why has season 6 stopped at episode 4?
On Netflix? It’s going up to episode 8 for me…
mine has stopped at episode 4
have you tried refreshing your page
When will once upon a time season 6 air on Netflix?
28th September
Would like to know when season 6 will air, just finished 5 and desperate for a fix
so does it go in netflix at midnight or??
Not sure, season 3 has not that long been on dvd in the uk, also when is the next episode on netflix says 1st Jan 16 but everywhere else says March 2016
I have been meaning to buy season 3 DVD for some time, I looked on Ebay today and it is about £18. What the hell has happened? In July, region 1 copies were selling for £8, and less, on ebay!
Just seen on Facebook that season 5 will be shown on Netflix one episode a week starting 30th September. I can’t wait
I would like to know when I could watch once upon a time season five. I live in the uk and have no acess to the abc channel so when will season 5 be first available to watch in the uk on Netflix?
30th september on netflix. there showing the episodes once a week
Just asked Netflix when they will be showing series 5 and they couldn’t confirm when it will be shown! I hope it’s fairly soon after the U.S. as it seems pointless to pick it up for series 4 and then not show it!
Hi any1 got any answers for when season 4 will be coming out on dvd as I don’t have Nexflix.
Netflixs I mean
Amazon have once upon a time season 4 on UK DVD as of now, but no bluray yet?
If Season 5 is being shown on Netflix UK the day after the US, then the first episode should be available here on September 28th.
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/72911
Once Upon A Time Season 4 is most likely coming onto UK Netflix on August 28th, as some of the (verified) netflix/Producers accounts have tweeted this.
You do realise that once upon a time season 4 has also been on UK Netflix since 14th March 2015. They added all the episodes of season 4 that had aired in the U.S., then every Wednesday they would add a new episode after it aired in the U.S.
Is it going on netflix
Should be.
Thank gosh for Netflix having it, if it still aired on Channel 5 you couldn’t rewatch it from Season 1 and we’d get it months later, Netflix means we get it within the next few days
Still unfair to those who hasn’t got Netflix and unable to afford it
You get a free month when you sign up, and even if you don’t finish it all within the month, you can just stop subscribing when you finish. If anything, this is the cheapest way even in America.
It can be cheaper than TV services like Sky or virgin Media
Is session 5 coming on the UK tv ??
i cant wait for season 5 im so excited i hope that it is soon xx i hope emma doesnt turn evil she is the saviour not the dark one xx also when will season 5 be released on netflix
anyone know when or if once upon a time season 3 and 4 will be released on dvd and blu ray in the uk?
Hi does any1 please know when season 4 will be released on dvd in the uk
I wanna know the same thing too!
Hi am just wondering if they ingoing robe a 5 season of once upon time and when will it be one Netflix
“ingoing robe”… I’m betting you typed that on a phone didn’t you… 😉 I’m guessing it was “are going to show?”
It airs in September in the US, and the Netflix deal has them airing new episodes the day after the US, so it should be back in September. 🙂
Cheers
Dave
What about Once Upon a Time in Wonderland? Is that on there too or are they trying to bury it now that it’s been cancelled?
now that once upon a time has got a uk home again will it be released on dvd and blu ray again?
Yes I would like to know the answer to this. I have the other DVDs and don’t want to get an import.
I’ve just read that Once Upon A Time is available on Netflix. So as long as you are willing to sign up for £5.99 a month, then there’s no need for a DVD, unless it suddenly gets pulled from Netflix altogether, just like when it used to be shown in the UK on Freeview ( Channel 5 ).
I just like to have the DVD to put in my collection. I have season 1 and 2 and it looks a bit empty. Netflix only works through my downstairs TV or the PS4 so I want the DVD to play upstairs in bed
just spoke to someone at Netflix and he knows nothing about once upon a time coming to the uk and to netflix
Well abc who own the show seem pretty convinced they’ve sold it to Netflix UK so i’d say it’s true. The Netflix employee may not have got the memo yet. 🙂
It’s there,Once Upon A Time is live now on Netflix UK,Complete seasons 1,2,3 and currently up to episode 14 of season 4!!!! Welcome back Storybooke!!
I am on uk netflix and a friend has sad she can watch it yet when i search for it,it isnt showing up
It is there: http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70197049?trkid=50000152 🙂
I am watching it on Netflix right now
I’m subscribed to Netflix and it is on there – the whole of season three and up to episode 13 of season four so far – just watched it yesterday. Episode 14 airs in the US this evening so should be updated in the next couple of days.
Awesome news,we have been crossing our fingers ever since Channel 5 made the foolish decision not to renew,now we can either resume watching from Season 3 or relive the series from the start.So happy about this.
Season 3 has to be renewed
its about time once upon a time got picked up in the uk again. its the best show on tv. come on pick it up uk channels.
When will season 4 be available on dvd in the uk please
it wont be out on dvd till august in America. the blu ray plays on uk players.
Sky have said they might upload series 3 as an abc studios box set.
[deleted] will let you download season 4 through [deleted] offline. Im watching them now through a plugin on my tv ????
Please do not post references to illegal streaming sites. – GTAdmin
Finally got my hands on series 3 after getting the Blu Ray from Amazon! It’s soooo good, can’t wait until we can get series 4! Hope we won’t have to wait too long or I’ll have to start with series 1 again just to get my fix! What would make it more bearable though is a UK TV channel taking it up again (hint, hint) !!
Where do I find abc studios UK on sky t.v for once a upon a time….
I ordered OUAT season 3 from amazon.it (Google searched OUAT season 3 Amazon Italy and used google translator to check ordering instructions) for £25 a week ago. It’s just arrived and plays in English, all you have to do is choose the English option when you put it into the DVD player. Very happy that I can finally see what’s been happening in Storybrooke and beyond!
I bought season 3 on ebay for 12.99 as some people have said it is a region 1, but it does work on dvd players bought after 2006, we have a blu ray player and it works absolutely fine, actually watching it right now 🙂
We got season 3 online on DVD from eBay ( we re in uk gutted it was taken off air ) watched season 3 loved it any idea when season 4 comes out on DVD x
Why dose it say no uk broadcast ! I have been waiting for ages just to see season 3! And there isn’t going to be one for ME to see ! I hope this is sorted out! Words can’t expl how angry I am.
Once upon a time season 3 is starting on rte2 this sunday so hopefully they will get season 4.Here in Ireland we can get rte 2 on sky ???? don’t know about rest of uk
Does anyone know when series 4 will be out on DVD or on UK iTunes?
The Swedish and Italian imports, are they genuine? And if so is English the main language on them?
go on [link removed – please do not post links to illegal streaming sites] and you can watch every ep a day after it comes out also lots of other stuff on their aswell e.g Game of thrones…….
Gutted that this has been dropped, me and my kids love this show. what’s not fair is not everybody has netflix no i have to tell my children that we can’t watch it anymore. Very disappointed
But you can. On DVD.
Is the region 1 dvd the only option in watching this or is there a way to buy it elsewhere that iant itunes?
No it’s not. You can get it on Region 2 as well. Italian and Swedish imports have been mentioned in the comments before.
i bought once upon a time series 3 on dvd and i’ve watched it is really good look forward to series 4 🙂
Hi Paul, please could you tell us where you bought it? Thanks 🙂
Hi Paul
We bought season 3 online on eBay if u search for once upon a time season 3 on eBay only one seller came up and it says the DVD format only works on DVD players bought after 2006 it worked on our uk DVD player delighted was fab roll
On season 4 x
I’ve seen on Amazon UK that they have Season 3 on DVD region 2 box set!!!!!!!! 😀
…………..Only thing is that it says on the page that it’s ‘not available yet’.
But at least that means that Amazon will be selling the DVD that can be played in the UK.
I’m gonna keep checking to see when it is available……..
That’s the Swedish import. They also have the Italian import, which is readily available. Both have English language I believe
once upon a time is out on dvd region 2 in amazon and back in stork
Are they joking? First Sky Living drops Supernatural and now 5 have dropped Once upon a Time I’m fuming right now, fingers crossed someone picks them both up 🙁
I’m afraid it’s been dropped for quite a while
I bought season 3 of ebay months ago from a ln American seller and it works in all dvd players – £15, free delivery.
I bought the season 3 DVD region 1 (if your DVD player was bought from 2006+ it will work) for £10 on ebay (UK seller)! Can not believe I’ll have to wait until this time next year for season 4!
Are you sure this will work on all DVD players? I really want to get season 3 but the region free are way more expensive then region 1. I think I will have to check the settings or find the booklet out for my DVD player to see if you are right Arabella.
amazon are now selling seasons 1-3 region 2 boxset for £100. What. The. Hell.
Smooth move, guys. Release an overpriced set but not the individual series? You’re not making any friends here in Europe…
Amazon aren’t. It’s a third party seller and it is an import of some sort.
I’ve got to buy a new multi region DVD player and import season 3 and replace my Blu Ray seasons one and two on DVD now so the collection goes. I can’t risk importing the Blu Ray as it’s pricey and wont play on my Blu Ray player. I use to own a Multi region DVD player but is packed up. My American DVD’s don’t play on my Blu Ray so still be nice to enjoy them on the big screen again. I hate all this region codes it’s not fair.
season 3 available on youtube in parts. not as good quality image but still watchable.
Amazon keep emailing me about series 3 being available on Blu-Ray. When you look in the descriptions, it says it’s region 2 but it’s just so expensive! As much as I love this show I might try to hold out a while to see if the price drops.
It will. And with more availability comes the second-hand market.
When will once upon a time series 3 be released on a region 2 code ?! Amazon have released it on a region 1 why not a region 2 ?
Different regions (and countries within regions) have different distribution rights.
I have bought the Blu Ray from Amazon.com USA and it is region free. If you look on this link and scroll down to the cover you can view the ‘slipback’ and this shows you the rear of the sleeve of the blu ray and it shows ABC. It works on my region 2 player.
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Once-Upon-a-Time-The-Complete-Third-Season-Blu-ray/105637/
20th oct come and gone ..no Amazon region 2 ,ebay only region 1 but think it may work .I have a tv /dvd combo which is new and Toshiba ,so prob region 2?but would a 1 play on it ..so frustrating ..love this show !
If you bought it here, it will be region 2.
thanks Andrew,yes I guess you are right .I am at a loss as to what to look for .will they make a region free in USA that i can order ?
See Rachel’s comment above
It’s now the 20th and no where seems to have it at all which is disappointing 🙁
Is it true that if you have a DVD player that was made after 2006, you can play the region one version? How can you tell with your DVD player when it was made. I got mine in 2007 as a gift but I dont know when it was made to find out 🙁
Yes it will work!!!a region 1 dvd worked perfectly on my DVD player and I either bought it in 2005 or 6
Hi there
I’m am a fan of Once Upon a Time and am absolutely gutted that its not being showed in the UK. I haven’t got netflix ( and don’t wan’t a account either as i can’t afford it) where else can i find season four to watch as I was looking forward to the mysteries and Adventures of Storybrooke.
Yours sincerely
Miss C Jones
Am furious that out of the hundreds of channels not one has picked up ouat….i need to watch season 3 n now it looks like you can’t even get it on R2 dvd. I don’t understand why? Surely if a programme is shown in UK, a dvd should be produced! judging by comments on here and many other message boards many people watched it and want to watch the next season. I personally have got 4 others addicted to it and we’re all waiting for this damn dvd to make an appearance. If only there was some sort of announcement made so we knew what was happening? !?! 🙁
The broadcasters who buy broadcast rights are different companies from the distributors who release DVDs, and the deals for each are relatively unrelated. Unfortunately, I’m afraid you know what is happening. Nothing. No plans. It’s Region 1 or the slightly more compatible Region 4 only.
Absolutly devastated no season3 once upon a time on CH.5. They must be mad!it is so popular!,
Like Sarah below, I also took a risk and ordered the Blu Ray off Amazon.com (I’m in the UK), and I can also confirm that it is region free. It has A/B/C listed on the case and plays fine on my LG player.
Can I get season 3 on netfix then? I am so mad with channel 5 channeling it
Hi Becky,
You can get it on Netflix US, but you need a DNS Switcher like Unlocator to switch it to get the US Netflix feed.
Cheers,
Dave
We have already seen season 3 but we really love this show and want to see season 4 instead of season 3. Season 3 was showed earlier this year so we vote for this show the to be continued on channel 5 please!!!!
Season three wasn’t showed earlier this year I’m afraid, and cannot be continued by Channel 5, as it has already been dropped. You can, however, get it on Region 1 dvd.
The sad fact is, it’s not popular enough for 5 to be able to justify the cost of the show verses the viewing figures, which is a real shame. But in reality 5 can’t really be expected to air a show they’re losing money on every week. As people have mentioned, your best bet is ordering the bluray from the US, or using a dns switcher like the one mentioned above to watch it on US Netflix.
Heard 5 wasn’t picking up new season so unless someone else does, we’re on our own (I’m looking for dvd)
Hello when is season 3 on in the uk please? does anybody know?
I have just bought blu ray direct from amazon.com (US ) as got fed up with waiting for UK release . It is published as region 1 but is in fact region free . All plays perfectly and cost around £30 including delivery from USA . Now on episode 7 .
It looks like Amazon have got region 1 DVD in stock now. but are used and from different suppliers
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Once-Upon-Time-Season-US-Import/dp/B00MCSKMVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411372761&sr=8-1&keywords=once+upon+a+time+season+3
Also does anyone know if playstation 2’s are region free for DVD?
I gave up waiting and bought (nervously) from dvdbus…using an credit card that was near it’s limit in trepidation that this was a possibly dodgy site …. But was pleasantly surprised. The DVDs arrived – they looked great …. They played fine in my ten year old DVD player …. And on my laptop which is pretty temperamental !!
For £20 I am now up to date …. First five episodes are a little rubbish ….. But it gets better !!!!
Best £20 I ever spent …. Now it’s doing the rounds and all my friends are taking it in turns to watch!
Now bring on series four !!!!!
Strange that Amazon only have the blu-ray and it’s region free rather than region 1. Is it still being aired in Ireland?
The region -free nature of it is rather less strange than the apparent lack of DVD. Don’t know about its broadcast status in other countries, sorry
Thank you dave
Season 3 blu-ray is listed on this website – http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/ with a UK release date of 20th October.
Thank you for sharing that 🙂 It was written on here before, that release date of 20th October, but then they took it down. I am hoping so hard that they actually do release it soon, but they wouldn’t have even said a release date if not I don’t think. And I’m glad they’ll be (hopefully) releasing it on bluray because I want the exclusive features like deleted scenes etc!! 😀
S3 is yet to become available for preorder on amazon. Is it confirmed that there will definitely be a region 2 DVD released on 20 October? It seems that other things that aren’t out until a much later date are already available for preorder, which makes me wonder whether we’ll be able to see the show at all in the UK.
Hi Jenny, no, and i’m not sure where that date came from, but having done some hunting around, I can’t see any evidence of it. Right now, your best bet is to go to Netflix US using a DNS Switcher like Unlocator, as they have all 3 seasons on there.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Once-Season-Retail-Blu-ray-Region/dp/B00LMW54NS/ref=sr_1_13?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1405021454&sr=1-13&keywords=disney
Yep, but there’s no date on that, or artwork… Which would seem to say it’s been bumped.
There is. The fourth paragraph “Product Details” shows “20th October”. Lack of pre-order is puzzling though
I have just finished watching Once Upon a Time season 3 on Netflix (US). It was uploaded on 28th August, and season 4 is airing on US tv later this month. I imagine that season 4 will be on Netflix at the end of August next year so everyone can catch up with it if the series is renewed (hope that makes sense).
I’m gutted channel 5 didn’t pick up series 3 and surprised another channel hasn’t done so either. Hopefully Netflix (UK) will one day show it. Hope this helps.
Please can you tell me where I will be able to buy the Once upon a time season 3 in the uk?
watching this series half way through and now i find its no longer available thanks Amazon
Just wanted to mention, for those of you with a DNS switcher (like UnoTelly ), you can get all 3 seasons legally on Netflix USA. Seems like the best bet at the moment. 🙂
Hi what channel is it coming on please just so I no I missed season 3 I had to catch it on demand thanks
I’m sorry Melanie, I don’t understand the question. Season 3 hasn’t been broadcast here and isn’t available on demand.
Gutted! I’ve only just started watching this and now I find the UK have stopped it 🙁 I’m on series 2 on amazon instant video (formerly love film) anyone know if series 3 will be added to it?
The availability of season 3 as a second window on amazon is unlikely to be affected by channel 5 dropping the broadcast first window, so if they were going to add season 3, they probably still will
I heard about this about 3months ago when I realized that channel 5 didn’t air season 3 I am gutted that it has been took off air for the UK and can’t another company take it on? :/ 🙁 I love Disney and the twisted and tales are awesome so where can I pre order or order when it come out? X
So it’s coming out October ? Where can I get it on pre order ?
WT does this mean its going straight to DVD over here without being aired. NOT ON. 🙁
Better than not coming out on DVD at all, surely
Do you know where OUAT season 3 will be available to purchase? I can’t see it on Amazon (to pre-order). Thank you.
It isn’t available to (pre) order yet. The Blu ray is showing as available from that date.
I have sent emails to all sites that sell dvds and none of them have managed to help out, I’m off to London mcm comic con in October were they have people all over the world one of them is bound to no I hope
Once upon a time 3 comes out on August 19th on region 1 , most uk DVD players play them these days , only problem is import duty if customs collars you , ( hopefully I’ll have mine this weekend) cinema store in London more often than not have them a couple of weeks early although price is a tad steep
On ebay they are selling brand.new copys quite cheep iv payed 13 pounds for my copy it is a region 1 dvd I emailed a man and I was told it should work on any UK dvd play that has been bought after 2006
