For the first time since November 2023, full episodes of the British soap opera “Hollyoaks” are available to stream in the United States.

Several recent episodes, beginning with an episode aired on Monday, May 6, were uploaded to the show’s official YouTube channel on Monday, May 27.

Going forward, episodes will be released with a one-week delay, similar to the show’s release schedule in the United Kingdom. This follows Channel 4’s decision last fall to transition the soap into a digital-first daily serial with episodes available to stream one day before premiering on E4. A weekly omnibus continues to air on Sundays on Channel 4.

Channel 4’s decision to transition the series came about because, according to Digital Spy, at least 64% of the youth-oriented program’s audience is watching via first-look streaming or on E4.

In March 2014, fresh episodes of “Hollyoaks” began streaming on Hulu, the streaming service owned by The Walt Disney Company. A representative for the company announced that they no longer had rebroadcast rights to the show. The final episode released on the service initially aired on Thursday, November 30, 2023.

It's about damn time that they're back available for American viewers; it sucks they were pulled from Hulu, and I do wish BritBox had found a way to pick them up! But yay they're back!

This is a good move as it opens the serial up to viewers in many other countries beside the United States (unless it is geo-blocked).

The article I read on DS said it'll be worldwide.

Last ditch effort for my once beloved soap. 
Let’s go!

Yes, it is available globally. I concentrated on the U.S. as the website primarily covers U.S. content.

It definitely sounds like a last-ditch effort. The show has never been one to top the ratings charts, but it's been on for quite a while, so hopefully, it can find a way to survive. It reminds me of Loving/The City, though.

Then that’s really smart. Seems like more entertainment entities have stopped thumbing their noses at the revenue sharing options on YouTube. Those coins can add up if the number of those views are high enough.
