How to watch Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown online

Jim Jones makes a peace sign for his congregation from the pulpit in California.

If you've enjoyed past National Geographic American history documentaries, then you'll want to check out Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown, which is available to watch right now.

Quick links

US: Hulu | National Geographic (later)
UK:
Disney Plus

This is the latest entry into Nat Geo's One Day in America series, following programs on 9/11 and JFK's assassination, and each of them explores one pivotal day in US history from the perspective of living eyewitnesses and survivors.

In One Day in Jonestown, we'll learn all about what led up to the Jonestown mass suicide in 1978: we'll get to know Jim Jones, understand why he created the People's Church and discover what changed over several decades to lead to the tragedy in Guyana.

If you want to get to know this important event better, here's how to watch Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown.

How to watch Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown in the US

You have two options for watching Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown in the US, and we'd recommend one over the other.

The first option is Hulu, with all three episodes of the docuseries landing on the streaming platform on Monday, June 17. Each month Hulu costs $7.99 for its ad-enabled plan or $17.99 for the ad-free one, with some choosing to sign up via the Disney Bundle for $9.99 monthly as that pairs Hulu with Disney Plus.

Your other option is National Geographic's channel, and we don't recommend this option for keen fans due to its delayed release date. Nat Geo will air the show from Wednesday, August 14, so you'll be waiting two months in order to catch it.

How to watch Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown in the UK and AU

Cult Massacre is available to watch on Disney Plus, with all three episodes there to pick right now. This is true in the UK and Australia, so you can learn more about American (or Guyana) history.

If you want to watch the two previous iterations of One Day in Amerca, Disney Plus is also your port of call, as it hosts National Geographic content outside the US.

In the UK, Disney Plus costs £4.99 for its ad-enabled tier and £7.99 for its ad-free one, with both prices being per month.

In Australia, you're looking at $13.99 monthly for ad-enabled and $17.99 for ad-free.
