Small Town Scandal NZ: Season 1 on Three & ThreeNow
Small Town Scandal, the New Zealand comedy with Tom Sainsbury, is on Three on Thursday 12 November at 9pm, listed as Episode 3, and ThreeNow has had all eight episodes of the series since 8 July. How long it runs on Three is not yet confirmed.
What time is Small Town Scandal on Three?
Thursday at 9pm, a 35-minute slot, with a repeat on Three +1 an hour later. Freeview’s guide, opened on Wednesday 11 November around 10.40am, ran through to Wednesday 18 November and had the show once in that stretch, on Thursday 12 November. Sky’s guide, read at the same sitting, lists that Thursday and one more, 19 November.
| Date (NZ) | Episode | Channel | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thursday 12 November | Episode 3 | Three | 9pm to 9.35pm |
| Thursday 12 November | Episode 3 | Three +1 | 10pm (Sky guide) |
| Thursday 19 November | Episode 4 | Three | 9.05pm (Sky guide only) |
| Thursday 19 November | Episode 4 | Three +1 | 10.05pm (Sky guide only) |
The 19 November rows come only from Sky, since Freeview’s window stopped at 18 November, so they are listings and not a promise. On Sky’s channel list Three is channel 3 and Three +1 is channel 503.
Where can you stream Small Town Scandal in NZ?
On ThreeNow, which files the series under Season 1. The catalogue we opened on Wednesday 11 November, around 10.40am, shows eight episodes, all dated the same moment, 12.01am on Wednesday 8 July, and all listed until 23 March 2031. ThreeNow sets that end date and may move it.
| Season and episode | On ThreeNow from | Listed until |
|---|---|---|
| Season 1, Episodes 1 to 8 | Wednesday 8 July, 12.01am | 23 March 2031 |
Eight episodes arriving at once means you can watch the whole series on ThreeNow without waiting for Three’s Thursday run. Our Thursday-night guides for Happiness and Guy Mont Spelling Bee Australia cover the other shows Three airs in the same stretch of the evening.
Is ThreeNow ahead of Three on Small Town Scandal?
On the dates alone, yes. ThreeNow has all eight episodes, while Three’s guide lists Episode 3 on 12 November and Sky lists Episode 4 on 19 November. We haven’t matched the two sets of numbers, because the TV guides carry no season number, so we don’t claim a gap in days. What the catalogue does say for certain is that every episode was available from 8 July.
What is Small Town Scandal about?
ThreeNow’s description is a short one: Tom Sainsbury brings his true-crime parody podcast to the screen, playing a disgraced journalist turned true-crime podcast host who investigates the death of his millionaire uncle in a town full of eccentric suspects. The catalogue credits support from NZ On Air. We stop at the catalogue blurb on purpose, because anything further is a recap and this page is a where-and-when guide, and we have not listed the rest of the cast since we found no second source for it.
Can you catch up on Small Town Scandal before Thursday?
Yes, on ThreeNow. Because the catalogue we opened on Wednesday 11 November, around 10.40am, carries all eight Season 1 episodes, you can start at Episode 1 and be well ahead of the Thursday broadcast, or go straight to the episode you want. If you would rather stay with the broadcast, Three shows it at 9pm on Thursday 12 November and Three +1 repeats it at 10pm, which suits anyone who is still finishing dinner or watching the earlier shows in the Thursday run. We haven’t watched the series for this page, so we make no claim about how much each episode depends on the one before it.
What else is on Three on Thursday night?
The Freeview guide has Millionaire Hot Seat AU at 7pm, then Guy Mont Spelling Bee Australia at 7.30pm, Happiness at 8.30pm, Small Town Scandal at 9pm and The Traitors US at 9.35pm, so Small Town Scandal sits between the early-evening run and the late reality block. If you would rather skip the schedule altogether, the Freeview versus Sky guide sets out what Three and ThreeNow give you without a Sky box, the NZ streaming prices guide compares the paid services, and our season guides section collects the home-grown series, including Love It or List It NZ.
