CIA US in NZ: Season 1 on Three & Where to Watch
CIA season 1 starts on Three on Tuesday 10 November, with the first episode, “Directed Energy”, at 8.30pm and the second, “Fatal Defect”, at 9.25pm. Flicks lists the season on Neon. Whether CIA will also be on ThreeNow is not yet confirmed, and Three’s slot after 10 November is listed in Sky’s guide only.
What time is CIA on Three?
8.30pm on Tuesday 10 November, followed by a second episode straight after. The Freeview guide, which we read on Sunday 8 November around 10.40am when it was open from that day to Sunday 15 November, has “Directed Energy” from 8.30pm to 9.25pm, labelled “Season 1 premiere”, then “Fatal Defect” from 9.25pm to 10.25pm, which its description marks as season 1 episode 2. Sky’s TV guide lists the same two slots on Three, and the same two episodes on Three +1 (channel 503) an hour later.
| Date (NZ) | Channel | Time | Episode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday 10 November | Three | 8.30pm to 9.25pm | Directed Energy (season 1 episode 1) |
| Tuesday 10 November | Three | 9.25pm to 10.25pm | Fatal Defect (season 1 episode 2) |
| Tuesday 17 November | Three | 8.30pm | Bridge of Lies (Sky’s guide only) |
The two Tuesday episodes sit in slots of different lengths, 55 minutes for the first and an hour for the second, and the Three +1 channel repeats each of them an hour after Three.
The 17 November row comes from Sky’s guide alone, because the Freeview guide did not reach that far. It is a listing, not a confirmed weekly slot, so check it again on the day.
Where else can I watch CIA in NZ?
Flicks, a New Zealand film and TV listings site, says season 1 is available to stream in New Zealand now on Neon, which it marks as a subscription service, and lists 12 episodes. We have not opened Neon’s own page, so treat that as a second-hand listing. Sky’s guide also lists CIA on Sky Justice (channel 5) from Thursday 12 November at 8.30pm. Because the show is already on those, we call 10 November the start of the Three broadcast and not the first time CIA reaches New Zealand. Whether you need Sky to get those channels is explained in the Freeview and Sky comparison.
Is CIA on ThreeNow?
Not confirmed. We searched ThreeNow’s catalogue of 711 programmes on Sunday 8 November, around 10.40am, and found no entry called CIA, so we can’t say whether the season will be there. That is a snapshot of one day, not a statement about what Three plans. If you want to stream it, Neon is the only service we can point to, through Flicks. Subscription costs are laid out in our streaming prices guide.
Which other American shows have a fixed NZ time?
The streaming in NZ hub collects those with a set weekly slot. Three also has The Traitors US on Three and ThreeNow, TVNZ 1 carries Elsbeth on Tuesday nights, and Tulsa King is on TVNZ+ and Duke.
