In the United States, the episode will be simulcast on the USA Network at 9:00 p.m. EDT and streamed simultaneously on Peacock, the NBCUniversal streaming service.
International viewers will access the live telecast exclusively via Netflix. The platform will carry the show for audiences in the United Kingdom, India and Australia, with regional start times adjusted for local time zones – 2:30 a.m. IST for India and 5:30 a.m. AEST for Australia.
