“The Office” – the groundbreaking sitcom by Ricky Gervais – has already spawned a smash-hit U.S. version starring Steve Carell. Now, an Australian version of "The Office" is hitting our screens.

Below, we reveal where to watch "The Office Australia" online from anywhere with a VPN.

'The Office Australia': release date, streaming service

All eight episodes of "The Office Australia" drop on Friday, October 18, 2024 in 240 countries (although not, it seems, the U.S.)
• U.K., CAN, AUS
— Watch on Amazon Prime Video
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free

"The Office Australia" welcomes new boss Hannah Howard. Played by Felicity Ward, she is the first female boss in the franchise's history and is just as inept as her male predecessors. She is the leader of a branch at the packaging company, Flinley Craddick in Sydney and is joined by a host of other characters that those familiar with other versions of The Office will likely recognise.

As ever, things are not straightforward for the staffers. Hannah has found out that her branch is going to be shut, with Head Office demanding everyone work from home. Like any boss, she wants to keep her “work family” united, but this means her staff putting up with her increasingly outlandish antics. We've already started watching it and we reckon it's "a bloody ripper".

Read our guide below for how to watch "The Office Australia" online and from anywhere in the world.

How to watch 'The Office Australia' from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the show on your usual subscription?

You can still watch "The Office Australia" thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Fire up your usual website or streaming service and tune in as if you were back in your home country.
