Co-created by the comedic minds of the beloved Bob's Burgers writing room, The Great North sees single father of four Beef attempting to manage modern life while at the same time supporting kids Wolf, Judy, Ham and Moon through the rigors of adolescence and young adulthood. No straightforward feat for a humble fisherman.
Just like its Fox animation stablemate The Simpsons, The Great North combines gentle humor with a great deal of heart — all channelled through a family patriarch and his idiosyncratic family members, including Ham Tobin. And with its Alasakan setting, weightier themes such as the climate crisis are also explored through its comical lens.
It also boasts a fantastic cast of voice actors, with Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) voicing Beef, and the likes of Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth) and Jenny Slate (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On) as other family members.
Ready to feast on Beef, Ham and the rest of the wholesome family Tobin? Here's how to watch The Great North season 4 from anywhere in the world. We've got all the information you'll need below.
How to watch The Great North season 4 in the US
The Great North is once again being aired by Fox in the US as part of its Sunday evening animation block.
The first episode of season 2 is set to be shown on Sunday, January 7 at 9.30pm ET / 8.30pm Central, but that time is subject to change on future Sundays.
Most cable packages carry Fox, and so do most OTT live TV streaming services for cord cutters. You can access Fox through Sling TV's Blue plan, for example, with plans starting at $40 per month with your first month half-price.
Fubo is a more expensive (starting at $74.99 per month) but much more comprehensive service, offering Fox and over 150 other channels even on its most basic plan. Plus, there's a 7-day free trial.
Episodes of The Great North are also set to be shown by streaming service Hulu the day after they air on Fox. Hulu plans start at $7.99 a month, with a 30-day free trial available for new users. Or get access via the Disney Bundle from $9.99 a month.
How to watch The Great North season 4 in the UK
Disney Plus is the UK home to The Great North, but no date for season 4 has been announced at the time of writing. Judging from previous series, we'd expect it to drop in February.
That means US folk who have crossed the Atlantic and still want to watch their usual The Great North stream immediately have no option but to use a VPN. Details below.
How to watch The Great North season 4 in Australia
Australians will have to wait to watch the new episodes of The Great North. Last year, season 3 episodes didn't land on Foxtel or the Binge streaming service until March, so we would imagine it would be a similar story in 2024.
And if you're an American who's Down Under, you'll need to use a VPN to watch your usual US stream...
How to watch The Great North from anywhere with a VPN
You can watch The Great North season 4 on any of the streaming services above by using a VPN — no matter where you are in the world!
Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.
Our favorite VPN is ExpressVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar, where you'll find a deeper reader on the best VPN services available right now.
