If you didn’t get a chance to watch the dystopian drama The Curfew when it first streamed on Paramount+ in 2024, you can now see it on regular TV, as the entire season will air on Channel 5.
You can watch all six episodes of the series starting Monday, February 16th on 5’s streaming service. The first episode will also be shown on the 5 channel that same day at 9 PM.
The second episode will air at 10pm the following day, Tuesday, February 17th. The third episode will be on Wednesday, February 18th, also at 10pm. Dates for episodes 4 through 6 haven’t been announced yet.
The show features well-known actors including Sarah Parish, known for her role in ‘Cutting It’; Mandip Gill, famous from ‘Doctor Who’; Alexandra Burke, a star of ‘The X Factor’; Lucy Benjamin, who appeared in ‘Detectorists’; and Anita Dobson, recognized from ‘EastEnders’.

When a woman is found murdered outside the Women’s Safety Centre during curfew, experienced police officer Pamela Green suspects a man committed the crime.
