How to watch LION
LION is included with four different subscriptions — Disney+, fuboTV, Hulu and YouTube TV — so if you already pay for any of them there is nothing extra to buy.
To own it instead, you can buy an episode from $2.99 on Amazon, AppleTV and Fandango at Home.
Hulu streams it in 4K; the others top out at HD.
LION ended in 2026 after one season and 4 episodes, so what is listed above is the complete run — nothing new is coming.
Starring O.J. Lynch; it originally aired on National Geographic.
