Is The Greatest Showman on Netflix? How to Watch in USA

The Greatest Showman was an exciting movie with its songs hummed by everyone ever since its release in 2017. But the question is, ‘Is The Greatest Showman on Netflix?’

As of right now, The Greatest Showman is not available on Netflix because the platform does not have streaming rights to the movie.

It is not available on any Netflix library in any region like the US, UK, Australia, Argentina, etc. It is unclear when or if the movie will ever make its way to Netflix.

However, you can still watch the movie on Disney Plus. For our readers who are outside the US, you will need to use a VPN app to unblock Disney+ as it is a geo-blocked streaming platform available in a few countries only.

Why You Need a VPN to watch The Greatest Showman on Disney+ from Anywhere

The reason why you need a VPN app to watch The Greatest Showman on Disney Plus from anywhere is that the platform is geo-restricted and is available only in a few countries. Unless you are in Canada, the US, the UK, and India, you will not be able to watch The Greatest Showman on Disney Plus.

As great as the movie is, The Greatest Showman is not available on a lot of platforms. Currently, you can only watch it on Disney+. However, the Walt Disney streaming service is not available in all regions.

You can access Disney+ in the US, Canada, India, Germany, Japan, Spain, and a few other countries. If you are outside these regions, you will get the following error when accessing Disney+:

“Sorry, Disney+ is not available in your region.”

With the help of a virtual private network, you can bypass the geo-blocks of Disney+ and watch The Greatest Showman from anywhere in the world.

A VPN allows you to mask your actual IP address, and replace it with a new one from another country. In this case, you can connect to a US server to get an American IP address and unblock Disney+ where the movie is available to watch.

With the help of a VPN, you can also watch popular movies on Netflix like Ready Player One, and The Matrix Reloaded on Netflix, and play Coraline on Netflix.

A VPN will also allow you to watch other popular movies that are not available on Netflix. For instance, you can watch Maleficent online, and watch Die Hard streaming on Disney Plus.

What to do if Disney+ is not working with a VPN? Try this…

If you are using a VPN but still cannot find the movie on Disney+, don’t worry as there are a couple of things you can try to fix the issue such as:

  • Switch to a different VPN server to get a fresh IP address, in case your old IP was blacklisted by Disney+.
  • If you are streaming on your browser, clear cookies and cache from Settings because they store information about your location.
