Four episodes to stream from launch day
The Northumbria Mysteries has started its UK release on Friday 23 October 2026. BBC's available-episodes page currently lists episodes 1 to 4 of the eight-part series, with Watch now links for iPlayer.
That gives viewers a choice: start with the online batch or follow the BBC One broadcasts. The first episode is listed at 44 minutes.
BBC One dates are a separate schedule
Episode 1's BBC One broadcast is Friday 23 October at 14:00. The next listed broadcasts are episode 2 on Friday 30 October at 14:00 and episode 3 on Friday 6 November at 14:00. All times here are UK local time.
Those later television dates do not mean the episodes are being held back online. BBC's pages for episodes 2 and 3 both give their online release date as 23 October 2026. For later episodes, use the broadcaster's episode list rather than assuming all eight arrived together.
Which series is this?
Robson Green plays Joe Ruby, an ex-con who teams up with Liz White's DI Rose O'Connell in the fictional crime drama. The opening case brings them together at a priory. To watch, open the BBC episode list linked below and select the episode's Watch now link.
