Can I watch 'Harley Quinn' season 5 online in Canada?

"Harley Quinn" used to be part of Netflix's offering north of the border, but only the first two seasons are available to watch on the platform. You'll therefore need to use VOD platforms to rent or buy new episodes of the animated show.

Those on vacation to Canada from the U.S. will need one of the best VPNs if you want to stream it on Max. Full instructions above.

Can I watch 'Harley Quinn' season 5 in the U.K?

Once upon a time, "Harley Quinn" was shown on the free-to-air Channel 4 in the U.K. Unfortunately, no broadcaster or streamer currently shows new episodes.

That means you'll have to use paid-for video platforms like Amazon Prime to buy season 5 episodes. Just don't expect new ones to land for a couple of months after they premiere in the U.S.

"Harley Quinn" fans traveling to the U.K. from the U.S. will need to use a good streaming VPN to use Max as it will be geo-blocked when not at home.
