How to watch Culprits online: stream the Disney Plus heist thriller from anywhere now
A group of ex-cons are hunted down in this eight-part thriller
Culprits – the new Disney Plus heist drama – sees a group of ex-cons discover there’s no such thing as a clean getaway. Starring Gemma Arterton (The King’s Man), Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Misfits, Nia DaCosta’s Candyman), and Suzy Eddie Izzard (Six Minutes to Midnight), our guide below explains how to watch Culprits online.
You can watch Culprits from Wednesday, November 8 on the Star brand of Disney Plus in the UK. It won't land on Hulu in the US until December 8. But if you’re travelling away from the UK, you can still watch Culprits on Disney Plus from anywhere with a VPN.
UK: Disney Plus
US: Hulu (free trial)
Executive produced by Stephen Garrett (HBO’s The Undoing), Jonathan Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed), and adapted from a 2018 anthology of linked crime stories, Culprits finds a disbanded group of criminals – having scored a life-changing 7 million during a lucrative UK heist – now scattered across the globe and hunted by an anonymous assassin.
At the center of the story is Joe (Stewart-Jarrett). Three years on and he’s established a respectable new life in the suburbs, raising two kids with the loot from the robbery and engaged to his fiancé Jules (Kevin Vidal). But when a former associate winds up dead, Joe returns to London to track down heist mastermind Dianne (Arterton) and crew members Psycho (Niamah Algar) and Officer (Killing Eve’s Kirby Howell-Baptiste), to prevent their peaceful new lives being turned upside down.
