How to watch 'Fallen' online from anywhere – Lauren Kate's romantic fantasy TV show
Lauren Kate's YA romantic fantasy hits the small screen
After a lukewarm film adaptation, Lauren Kate’s lengthy YA romantic fantasy series was begging for a TV adaptation, and Brazil’s Globoplay have delivered. Here's how to watch "Fallen" online from anywhere with a VPN.
"Fallen" is available on to stream in New Zealand right now. Release dates for other territories are still TBC.

Take "Twilight", swap the werewolves for demons and the vampires for angels, sprinkle in a little "Harry Potter" and you’ve got yourself “Fallen”, a new TV series based on the hit six-book series.
After being blamed for the death of a local boy, Lucinda “Luce” Price (Jessica Alexander) is sent off to Sword & Cross Reform School. It’s here that she meets Daniel (Gijs Blom), who she feels instantly drawn to and who she can’t shake the feeling she’s met before. Then there’s the enigmatic Cam (Timothy Inne), who complicates things with his attempt to charm Luce, but whether his intentions are romantic or something more sinister is for viewers to discover themselves.
It wouldn’t, however, spoil proceedings to reveal that in true YA fashion, there’s a supernatural element at play here, with the show pulling from religious mythology as it unravels the character's true nature.
