Boston Blue US in NZ: Season 1 on Three and ThreeNow

Boston Blue season 1 starts on Three on Monday 9 November at 9.30pm, with the episode “Pilot”. All 20 episodes of the season have been on ThreeNow since midday on Monday 26 October, two weeks before the first Three broadcast, according to ThreeNow’s own catalogue. Where Three puts the show after 9 November is not yet confirmed.

What time is Boston Blue on Three?

9.30pm to 10.25pm on Monday 9 November. The Freeview guide, which we read on Sunday 8 November around 10.40am when it was open from that day to Sunday 15 November, lists “Pilot” in that slot and labels it “Season 1 premiere”. Sky’s TV guide lists the same slot on Three, plus a Three +1 showing (channel 503) at 10.30pm. Between 8 and 15 November the Freeview guide has no other Boston Blue on TVNZ 1, TVNZ 2, Three, Duke, Bravo or Sky Open.

The last row comes from Sky’s guide alone, because the Freeview guide did not yet reach 16 November when we read it. Treat it as a listing rather than a settled weekly slot, and check it again on the day.

Is Boston Blue already on ThreeNow?

Yes. ThreeNow’s catalogue holds one season with 20 episodes, every one of them made available at 12pm on Monday 26 October and listed until 17 October 2028. We read the catalogue on Sunday 8 November, around 10.40am. It gives the Pilot a running time of 41 minutes and the second episode, “Teammates”, about 40 minutes, against a 55-minute slot on Three. ThreeNow describes the programme as a sequel to Blue Bloods.

Flicks, a New Zealand film and TV listings site, marks ThreeNow as “free (with ads)” for this season. We have not checked ThreeNow’s own sign-up terms, so check them there before relying on it. Prices for the paid services are in our NZ streaming price guide.

Can I watch Boston Blue on Neon or Sky too?

Possibly. Flicks lists season 1 as available on Neon, which it marks as a subscription service, as well as on ThreeNow; we have not opened Neon’s own page, so treat that as a second-hand listing. Sky’s TV guide also lists Boston Blue on Sky Justice (channel 5), including Tuesday 10 November at 8.30pm. Because of those, we describe 9 November as the start of the Three broadcast and not as the first time the show reaches New Zealand. How Three’s run will line up with the ThreeNow episodes is not yet confirmed. Which of those channels need a Sky subscription is covered in our Freeview and Sky comparison.

What other American series have a regular NZ slot?

Start at the streaming in NZ hub for the ones with a set weekly time. Three also carries The Traitors US on Three and ThreeNow, TVNZ 1 has Elsbeth on Tuesday nights, and Tulsa King is on TVNZ+ and Duke. For what is new on a streaming service this month, see what’s new on Netflix NZ.
