"Strung" is the latest movie offering from the prolific Tyler Perry, with the producer joining forces with BlumHouse chief Jason Blum and director Malcom D. Lee for a thriller starring Chloe Bailey.
Here's how to watch "Strung" from anywhere with a VPN - and potentially for a dollar with a neat streaming hack.
"Strung" premieres on Peacock on Friday, June 26 in the U.S.
• U.S. — Peacock via Walmart Plus $1 trial

Ordinarily, Tyler Perry is known for his work in the comedy field, but the filmmaker does have a penchant for crafting riveting thriller movies from time to time. Meanwhile, BlumHouse are one of the biggest names in horror, with films like "M3GAN" and "The Purge" falling under their banner.
The combination of these two titans is an exciting one, and "Strung" promises plenty of twists and turns, a final girl we can root for in Chloe Bailey, and a story of survival that will shock you to the core. If you're into films like "Suspiria" and "The Perfection", where music and thrills intersect, this will be right up your street.
If you're ready to be on the edge of your seat, here's how to watch "Strung" online, with the chance to watch for just $1, too.
How to watch 'Strung' for $1 in the U.S.
Watch 'Strung' from anywhere
Traveling and blocked from your usual apps? A VPN, or virtual private network, lets your device appear to be back in your home country, so you can securely use your existing subscriptions while you’re abroad.
We’ve tested many services, and the best VPN currently available is NordVPN. It offers fast, reliable connections, works on most devices, and you can try it risk-free for 30 days thanks to its money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice (NordVPN is our favourite).
2. Choose the location you want in the VPN app. For example, pick a U.S. server to use Peacock as normal while overseas.
3. Open your streaming service and start watching.
