It should be by now, as the new Australian version of “The Office” that premieres Friday, Oct. 18 on Prime Video will be the 13th iteration of the show. It won’t be available to American subscribers, but we’ll walk you through how to watch the show legally using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) below!

About ‘The Office’ (Australian Version)

“The Office” is a mockumentary series that will follow the lives of the staff at Flinley Craddick, a run-of-the-mill packaging company in Sydney. The employees of Flinley Craddick just want to do their jobs and head home, but they’re usually caught up in the antics of their managing director Hannah Howard.

When Hannah gets word from the company higher-ups that they plan to shut down her struggling branch and force employees to work remotely, it’s her worst nightmare come true. She loves each and every employee as if they were her own family, and will do anything to keep them all together in the office.

How to Watch ‘The Office’ (Australian Version) Using a VPN

Because this version of “The Office” isn’t being shown on Prime Video in the United States, American audiences who want to watch might think they’re out of luck. Fortunately, there is a way to stream the show legally in the U.S.; using a VPN.

A VPN allows viewers to change their location and make it appear as if they were connecting from anywhere in the world their VPN subscription has a server. Most VPN services have hundreds of servers around the world and can help viewers connect to Prime Video to watch “The Office” and other titles that are geo-blocked in the United States.

The Streamable recommends using Express VPN, which starts at less than $7 per month. It has servers in 94 global countries (including Australia), and user tests show it still works while using Prime Video. It also features military-grade encryption protocols to protect your data, good download speeds, and a host of other benefits.
