A glossy new TV adaptation arrives Oct. 11 in the US on MGM+, with UK viewers getting a dedicated service starting Oct. 12. Here’s how to watch from home.
The swashbuckling drama Treasure Island (2026) lands in the U.S. this Sunday, Oct. 11, on MGM+. UK fans get the same adventure a day later on the UK streaming service run by the same studio starting Oct. 12. The six-episode series follows Jim Hawkins and his mother, Bess, as they chase a treasure map and square off with Long John Silver in a modern take on a classic tale.
What this means for everyday viewers is that you’ll need the right streaming plan to watch at home. In the US, the show streams on MGM+, while in the UK you’ll find it on the studio’s UK streaming service. If you already subscribe to Prime Video or bundles that include TV channels, you may have access to MGM+ or the UK service through those ecosystems, but the path to watch depends on your region and existing subscriptions. Below is what to expect for pricing, access, and a travel workaround if you’re away from home.
In the United States, you’ll stream Treasure Island (2026) on MGM+. In the UK, the series streams on the studio’s own UK streaming service. Availability depends on your device and plan, not the show itself, so check whether MGM+ or the UK service is already included in any bundles you use, or if you need a separate subscription.
US viewers can start a 7-day free trial with MGM+ to watch Treasure Island (2026). MGM+ pricing is listed as $7.99 per month for the standard service, with options for bundles that may change the monthly total depending on how you subscribe. UK pricing for the UK streaming service starts from £5.99 per month and goes up to £12.99 for ad-free 4K streaming, with discounts on annual plans. If you’re outside the US or UK, a VPN is often used to stream as if you were back home, though it’s important to follow service terms.
Treasure Island (2026) isn’t universally available everywhere at once. The US and UK releases are confirmed for now, with Canada or Australia not yet announced in the materials we have. If you’re temporarily abroad but want to keep watching your home stream, a VPN can let you access MGM+ or the UK service as if you were at home. That approach is common for geo-blocked content, but use it in line with the streaming platforms’ policies.
Creator and producer statements describe Treasure Island (2026) as bringing “fresh emotional depth and a striking contemporary edge to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic.” The cast includes Tom Sweet as Jim Hawkins and David Oyeloyo as Long John Silver, with Hayley Atwell also starring. Filming took place in the UK and Spain, and the series is designed as a six-episode arc, with episodes rolling out weekly in the US and UK.
For most people, Treasure Island (2026) means checking your monthly streaming plan and deciding whether to add MGM+ or the UK service as a stand-alone option or part of a bundle. If you already pay for Prime Video or Sky, explore those options first to see if you can fold Treasure Island into your existing package. The show is billed as a traditional adventure series, so expect a weekly rhythm rather than a binge-all-at-once format.
The US premiere is Oct. 11 on MGM+. If all goes to plan, episodes will continue weekly, with UK episodes arriving on the UK service starting Oct. 12. Watch for any service-based promos around launch weekends that could briefly alter price or trial terms.
