The Polygamist
Updated November 2, 2026
He chose betrayal, she chose revenge.
The Polygamist streams in the US on one subscription service — Netflix — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is what that means for watching it.
A social media darling appears to have a perfect marriage, but her husband's infidelity sparks a public scandal and an emotional unraveling. As her carefully maintained image comes under pressure, the series explores the personal fallout of betrayal and the strain of keeping up appearances.
