Where to Watch One Day at a Time Season 4 (Full Tutorial)

One day at a Time was a retelling of a popular 1970s U.S. sitcom. The new 2017 version was from the perspective of a loveable Cuban-American family, running 3 seasons until it was canceled by Netflix. The rights were bought by CBS’s Pop TV and a partial season 4 filmed, but the pandemic meant it remained unfinished and it was finally canceled for good. Unfortunately, what little of season 4 there is has disappeared from streaming services for those based in the U.S. Thankfully, through a VPN, you can watch the elusive season 4, no matter your location.

Where to watch One Day at a Time 

One Day at a Time family

One Day at a Time Seasons 1-3:

You can still watch One Day at a Time on Netflix, but only its first three seasons. If you don’t have a subscription already, you’ll need to purchase one to watch the show. If you’re outside the U.S., you might have other providers, such as AppleTV, where you can watch.

One Day at a Time Season 4

At one time season 4 was available to stream on platforms such as Pop TV and Prime. Now, it’s much more difficult to access. In the U.S. you can’t get it anywhere. In Canada and other regions, however, you can purchase it on AppleTV. If the right streaming providers aren’t accessible in your region, you could circumvent geo-blocking with a VPN.

Use a VPN to watch One Day at a Time

If you’re not able to watch One Day at a Time due to geo-restrictions, a trustworthy VPN service such as NordVPN can help. You just need to install the VPN on your device, select a Canadian-based server, and enjoy the show.

A good VPN means fast connection speeds for smooth viewing, while also protecting your online privacy through secure encryption, smart DNS, and no user tracking. Be aware, however, that some countries prohibit the use of VPNs, so be sure you’re not crossing legal lines.

Here are your steps for using a VPN: 

  1. Select a VPN that works well with AppleTV. Example, NordVPN or Surfshark
  2. Install and log on to the VPN
  3. Use your VPN to select a server in a country season 4 is available in, like Canada 
  4. Connect
  5. Go to AppleTV and sign in

You may need to try this process more than once, at different times of the day, or with different VPNs in order to successfully connect.

Using a VPN via your Router

You can also use a VPN via your router to make accessing servers outside your region fast and easy. Doing this means you only have to change your settings in one place, making it convenient to connect with all your devices that utilize the router, even as it also encrypts and protects these same devices.  

Watch Season 4 using SmartDNS

SmartDNS is a way to unblock geo-restricted sites without as much hassle as a VPN. It helps you avoid lags and the triggers that come from IP-based security authentication. It also has less impact on your internet speed than a VPN. That said, it doesn’t have the same encryption and security measures as VPNs.

In order to configure your DNS on your AppleTV, you’ll need an address for the SmartDNS server you’ll be using. One of the easiest ways to do this is through a service. NordVPN, ExpressVPN and Surfshark all have SmartDNS capabilities that you can access through your subscription. It makes it quite simple.

Here’s how to use SmartDNS to watch season 4 of One Day at a Time:

  1. Go to the main menu
  2. Click Settings> Network
  3. Choose Configure DNS>Manual
  4. Enter your provider’s DNS server information
  5. Select Done
  6.     Restart your AppleTV

Keep in mind, your SmartDNS server provider may have some set-up steps to do beforehand. Every service is different so pay attention to the instructions you’re given.
