Hunting Alice Bell streams free on Channel 4 from November 11

What Hunting Alice Bell is about

Hunting Alice Bell is a new six-part British crime drama arriving on Channel 4, according to TechRadar. The story centres on a nurse who is also the lover and accomplice of a notorious killer, and who is now living under a different name. That hidden identity sets off a wave of accusations, with a string of women wrongly suspected of being Alice Bell.

TechRadar describes the series as a story of paranoia, moral panic and social conflict. The cast includes Simon Pegg, Ralf Little, Alexandra Roach, Amanda Babbington and Rudi Dharmalingam. The scripts were written by David Baddiel and Peter Bradshaw.

When and where to watch in the UK

The show begins on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at 9pm GMT on Channel 4, TechRadar reports. Episodes then air weekly on the broadcaster's linear channel.

Viewers who would rather not wait can watch the whole thing at once. TechRadar says the complete boxset will be available on Channel 4's streaming platform immediately after launch on November 11. Access requires an account registered with a valid UK postcode.

Episode schedule through December

TechRadar has published a guide to all six episodes. The opener, Mistaken Identity, follows Fran Da Silva as her ordinary life falls apart after vandalism and growing online rumours label her as Britain's most wanted fugitive. Searching for answers, she discovers other women have been targeted the same way.

The second episode, Stronger Together, arrives on November 18 and sees Fran join forces with the other accused women against online trolls and public backlash. One of Us follows on November 25, as media scrutiny grows and suspicion spreads within the group. Truth & Lies lands on December 2, with the alliance starting to crack while a serial killer, Dr. Jason Nash, promises a live stream that will name the real Alice Bell.

The fifth episode, whose title TechRadar lists as still to be confirmed, airs on December 9 and builds towards that broadcast. The finale on December 16 brings the question of Alice Bell's identity to a head, with one woman publicly outed and the group forced to confront guilt, trauma and the line between victim and villain.

No US, Canada or Australia release yet

TechRadar reports that Hunting Alice Bell is a UK-only production for now. There are no plans for it to air or stream in the US, Canada or Australia, either on television or via a streaming service.

For viewers outside the UK, TechRadar suggests a VPN as a way to reach Channel 4 while travelling. Readers should check Channel 4's own terms and conditions before using any such tool, and note that the broadcaster's catalogue is normally limited to UK users.
