Is The Watchful Eye on Netflix? (where to watch)
By Mads Lennon
The Watchful Eye is a new mystery thriller series about a young woman working as a live-in nanny for a mysterious family in Manhattan. Will you be able to watch it on Netflix?
Mariel Molino stars as Elena Santos, the nanny at the center of this story who maneuvers her way into a high-paying job for a wealthy New York family. But while living in their building, Elena notices that everyone there seems to have ulterior motives and dark secrets.
Besides Molino, The Watchful Eye stars Warren Christie (The Resident), Amy Acker (Person of Interest), Kelly Bishop (Gilmore Girls), and Jon Ecker (Firefly Lane). If you’ve been eagerly waiting for Cruel Summer season 2 to return on Freeform, this should be the perfect show to tide you over for the time being.
Will The Watchful Eye be on Netflix?
The Watchful Eye is not likely to be on Netflix because it is an ABC Signature production airing on the Freeform channel. Since Disney owns ABC and Freeform, most shows airing on those networks go to Hulu or Disney+. The Watchful Eye will stream episodes the day after they premiere on Hulu and will probably stream internationally on Star.
It’s possible that The Watchful Eye will move to Netflix someday in the distant future, but don’t anticipate seeing it there anytime soon. In the meantime, plenty of thriller-mystery shows are available on the platform, including Clickbait, Behind Her Eyes, Pieces of Her, Echoes, The Sinner, The Watcher, and more.
Where to stream The Watchful Eye
The Watchful Eye debuts on Monday, Jan. 30, 2023, with a two-hour premiere featuring the first two episodes of the season. After that, new episodes will continue airing on Monday nights exclusively on Freeform. If you don’t have access to Freeform, you can watch the series the following day via Hulu.
