When will season 5 be SMASH be on Netflix UK?

In the UK, he is currently two seasons technically behind in SMASHbut luckily, it’s likely to get a new season in 2023.

Both seasons 1 and 2 were added to Netflix UK in May 2021, with season 3 arriving in September 2021 and season 4 in September 2022.

As you can probably guess from that pattern, we expect SWAT season 5 will be on Netflix in the UK sometime in September 2023.


When will season 6 be SMASH be on Netflix?

All seven regions described above will get Season 6 of SMASH in 2023 (excluding UK) in September 2023 in its current state. After all, they received season 5 in September 2022 and all previous seasons the year before.

The addition to Netflix coincides with several Sony Pictures Television shows launching on Netflix about a month before a new season begins on linear television (CBS in this case). The blacklist is another prime example of this that always sees most regions receive new seasons before a new season airs on NBC.

Showrunner Confirmed Netflix US Will Get Season 6 In Fall 2023 shawn ryan. Again, we suspect this will be in September, but keep an eye out for our next section or keep this article bookmarked for more information.

Given the pattern outlined above, Netflix UK can expect a slightly later wait for season 6 of SMASHand it’s not likely to land in service until September 2024.


For those without SMASH currently streaming (and those who are, frankly), we recommend watching the agent of the night on Netflix, which comes from Shawn Ryan, who serves as an executive producer on SMASH It has many of the same beats and makes for a great binge watch.
