Elsbeth US in NZ: TVNZ 1 Night & Season 3 Episodes

Elsbeth season 3 is on TVNZ 1 on Tuesday nights, and the Freeview guide has season 3 episode 15, “Otherwise Enraged”, on Tuesday 10 November at 8.25pm. It also streams on TVNZ+, where TVNZ lists new episodes on Tuesdays and the catalogue had episode 14 up from 8.25pm on Tuesday 3 November. How far New Zealand sits behind the American broadcast is not yet confirmed.

What time is Elsbeth on TVNZ 1?

8.25pm to 9.20pm on Tuesday 10 November. That is the only prime-time Elsbeth listing in the Freeview guide, which we read on Saturday 7 November, around 10.35am, when it was open from that day to Saturday 14 November. The guide gives the title and a one-line description for the episode and doesn’t mark it as new or as a repeat, so we don’t call it either. The other Elsbeth listing in that window is a late one, 12.35am to 1.20am in the early hours of Friday 13 November, which is season 2 episode 9, “Unalive And Well”, so the show is on TVNZ 1 twice that week but at the late hour it is the earlier season.

There is no Elsbeth on any other Freeview channel in that window. If TVNZ moves the Tuesday slot for a sports broadcast or a news special the guide would show it, so check it on the day rather than relying on this page for the minute.

When do new Elsbeth episodes arrive on TVNZ+?

On Tuesdays, which is the line TVNZ prints for the show: “New episodes Tuesdays”. The catalogue shows the exact release time of each season 3 episode, and it has moved around. We read it on Saturday 7 November, around 10.35am, and the six most recent episodes went up like this.

Two things stand out. The start time changed from 8.25pm to 9pm for two weeks in October and then went back, so a time printed once and copied forward goes stale. And every episode in the table runs about 41 minutes against a 55-minute TVNZ 1 slot. Episode 15 was not in the catalogue when we read it, so it is not in the table. If TVNZ keeps the pattern it would arrive on Tuesday 10 November, but that is a pattern rather than a listing.

How many seasons of Elsbeth are on TVNZ+?

Two: seasons 2 and 3, with 45 episodes in the catalogue in all. Season 3 was added from 8.30pm on Tuesday 4 August, and TVNZ lists its episodes until 31 May 2028. Season 1 was not in the catalogue when we read it, so a viewer starting from the beginning needs to look elsewhere. Our guide to what each streaming service costs in NZ sets TVNZ+ beside the paid services, and the Freeview versus Sky guide explains how TVNZ 1 reaches you without a subscription.

Where else can I find American shows with a New Zealand slot?

The streaming in NZ section covers the ones with a fixed weekly time. Two near neighbours are Tulsa King, on TVNZ+ and Duke and The Traitors US on Three and ThreeNow, and The Rings of Power is the Prime Video one. For other programmes on a weekly slot, see our season guides.
