Updated November 2, 2026
No one said therapy was easy.
The Patient streams in the US on two subscription services — Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is the full list and which to use.
A psychotherapist is held captive by a serial killer who asks for help controlling his urges to kill. Trapped in a dangerous situation, the therapist must navigate their tense sessions while searching for a way to stay safe.

How to watch The Patient
The Patient is included with two different subscriptions — Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ — so if you already pay for any of them there is nothing extra to buy.
Hulu streams it in 4K; the others top out at HD.

Created by Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields and starring Steve Carell, Domhnall Gleeson, Linda Emond and Laura Niemi; it originally aired on Hulu.
