It's returning
Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen the first half of S3.
I just saw on Twitter that the remainder of S3 (the aftermath of the bomb) will be shown in the UK from January/February. Looking forward to it!
In the UK? On what station? And how can we get it here? I'm assuming it will have English subtitles, right? I believe I may be able make arrangements with my cable channel to get an international station if I know which one. ¡Muchas gracias por la información!
shareHi,
Sky Arts, with english subtitles.
¡Caramba! That's great that it's going to be on Sky Arts, but that's only available in the UK. I know. I tried. Even had an online chat with someone at Sky Arts to find out if we could watch it here. I guess we're just going to have to wait until Netflix finally gets the rest. Ack!
shareMy wife is obsessed with this show, but she didn't want to see any spoilers and so sent me on here to find out if there were any episodes that aren't available on (American) Netflix. I couldn't seem to find any indication anywhere that there are, either here or on Wikipedia, but then I come across this thread and find that I might be wrong. There are, to the best of my knowledge, 42 episodes in existence and the same number on Netflix. But you guys are saying there are more. Can you set me straight so I can please the wife? Thanks in advance!
shareHi Jim! Yes, there are more episodes on YouTube, 22 more in the last season, but they don't have English subtitles, so I haven't watched them yet, but I know people who have—they're Spanish speakers. They're going to run the last season on Sky Arts in the UK starting at the end of this month. I'm not sure how often they're going to run the episodes. If they run them once a week, it'll take about five months to get through them all. We can't get that station in the US at all, not online and not on TV. I tried and even had a live chat with someone at that company in the UK about it. However, I'm hoping that once it's run on Sky Arts, Netflix will obtain the rest of the series. I know many of us have contacted Netflix to ask for it, and they always say they're working on it and it's a popular series. I'm as obsessed as your wife, btw, and have spent the last five or six months studying Spanish every day just so I might understand more of what's going on. I use the show to keep Spanish in my head, and I never seem to tire of it, even though I'm on my seventh go-round with those 42 Netflix episodes. Crazy, isn't it? 😁 But that last episode left us all in such a state—obviously the hotel will continue since there's another season, but what about Javier? ¡Caramba!
shareWow, you really like the show! I knew I came to the right place 😄
Since you were so kind to help me out, I'll let you in on a little tip of my own: assuming Sky Arts will also be making the rest of the series publicly available to residents of the UK, you could invest in a VPN for a while (one of the most popular services is called, memorably enough, "HideMyAss!"). Basically, a VPN will make it appear as though you are using the internet from within a different country. In the case of Sky Arts, you'd want to make it appear as though you're coming from the UK, and that's super easy to do with HMA. I've done it many times, and last time I checked it's not illegal or anything. Of course, if Sky Arts requires some kind of proof of residence, then a VPN probably won't cut it. Still, it's worthwhile to know in case you ever find yourself addicted to (say) a BBC show!
Hmmm, I have friends in the UK. Perhaps I could use their address! :) Sky Arts did require a postal code when I tried to sign up for it and it didn't like my zip code, naturally. I'm not sure what a VPN is or how I could get one, but I'll definitely look into this. I'm really dying to see how the whole thing ends. Glad I could offer what little knowledge I have of what's going on here, and thank you so much for yours!
shareall you need, if Sky Arts stream on their website, is to instal a little app called Hola on your browser and that will allow you to connect to pretend you are connecting from the UK...
shareWow, I did that, so thank you, guer! Now, let's hope they show Grand Hotel at an hour I can watch it here in California. 😜
shareIf it's going to be on tv, someone is bound to make it available via youtube or some other site...

YouTube is okay for little short videos, but I really don't like to try to watch longer shows on it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my friends in the UK will share their account with me. I wrote them and we'll see what happens. Of course, they may not even have it, but perhaps they know someone who'll share with a desperate American. 😉 Sky's website said something about Grand Hotel being available on demand. Now that would be awesome! 😀
shareI play youtube videos on my tv, so it's not much different from watching Netflix for me as long as the quality of the video itself is ok.
shareAnd in this case, if you don't happen to need English subtitles. 😛 Only five days to go and I get to see the third season with subtitles. I can't wait! Although if they do what I think they might, run only one episode a week, it's going to be really tough and require mucho paciencia.
shareNo problem! I just tried to create an account myself, but it seems that whether or not you're in the UK, you have to be a paying customer of Sky in order to watch their programs online. If one of your British friends has an account (which is likely; when I lived in Ireland it seemed as if most people had Sky), and if they don't mind sharing their deets with you, then you should be good to go. And, depending on how Sky runs things, you might not even need a VPN as long as you've got your friend's info. But if you do end up needing one, well now you know what a VPN is and how to find it!
Now, I think I'll go contact a British friend of my own and see about getting some Sky access... 😎
It worked! At least, I can watch trailers of movies on their site. Keeping my fingers crossed for the 29th that I can watch Grand Hotel on demand as it becomes available. We'll see. That's not too far off now! ¡Caramba!
