How to watch The Third Day online from anywhere
by Anthony SpadaforaHBO and Sky Studio are trying something a bit different with their new limited series The Third Day which will air in six parts and follow the seasons of the year.
The limited series stars Jude Law and Naomie Harris in two separate storylines that chronicle their individual journeys of arriving on a mysterious island off the British coast. The Third Day is loosely based on the true story of brewer Frederick Nicholas Charrington who gave up a life of luxury to purchase the small island of Osea off the River Blackwater in Essex which he turned into a working camp for recovering alcoholics and other troubled individuals.
The Third Day begins with "Summer" which is told over the first three episodes starring Jude Law in the role of Sam. He plays a man who is drawn to a mysterious island where he encounters a group of people who are set on preserving their traditions at any cost. Sam finds himself unable to leave the island where the secretive rituals of its inhabitants bring up trauma from his past.
After Summer comes "Fall" and the next part in the limited series will be a theatrical event broadcast online that immerses viewers in the world of The Third Day with members of the cast and crew including Jude Law and Katherine Waterson taking part.
"Winter" will take part over the last three episodes in the series and will star Naomie Harris as the strong-willed Helen who comes to the island seeking answers. However, her arrival precipitates a fractious battle to decide the island's fate.
Whether you're familiar with the story of Frederick Nicholas Charrington and the island of Osea or just interested in watching something a bit different for a change, we'll show you how to watch The Third Day online or on TV from anywhere in the world.
