How to watch Wreck season 2 online and on TV
The seafaring slasher heads ashore
BBC’s slasher series returns as the cruise ship survivors look to take the fight to the sinister Velorum organisation, with Wreck season 2 landing in full on March 26. You can watch all six episodes for FREE in the UK on BBC iPlayer, but don't worry if you’re away from the UK when it airs, because you can watch Wreck season 2 from anywhere with a VPN.
Time: 6 am UK / 2 am ET / 11 pm PT (Mon) / 5 pm AEDT
UK: BBC iPlayer (free with license fee)
US: Hulu
AU: ABC iView
When the first season aired around Halloween 2022, it became something of a cult hit, not only for its loving throwback to the slashers of the past (Quacky the Duck is a killer straight out of the trashiest 1980s drive-in movie) but for its queer representation, presenting characters moulded by, but not defined by, their sexual identity. As creator Ryan J Brown put it at the time: “Having two gay leads in the show that isn’t about them being gay, or about their sexual identity in any way, we don’t see that. Growing up gay has equipped them to be the perfect heroes. But the story doesn’t need to be about their trauma.”
But the show was also an awful lot of fun, presenting a blood soaked mystery that by its end, had more than a little in common with Eli Roth’s Hostel as it was revealed just exactly what sinister corporation Velorum were up to on the Sacramentum cruise ship. Season two will see the survivors out for revenge, going undercover at Velorum’s latest venture – a wellness festival for millionaires – and looks set to be just as much of a bloody good time as the high seas outing.
