Netflix fans were recently excitedly waiting for Money Heist to be released onto the platform so they could watch season 4.

One question which repeatedly arises when a new season drops on the streamer is what time new episodes are uploaded.

Generally speaking, a new Netflix release reportedly happens at around 3am Eastern, according to Inverse.

To those who think that sounds like an unusual time, consider that the time difference means this is midnight in California – the home of the company.

Applying the time difference to other locations across the globe means that you can work out when episodes will drop based on where you live.

For example, those in mainland Europe will get new episodes at 9am on the day of release.

If you just can’t wait for a new episode, why not try a combination of live and on-demand television with Sling TV?

Customise your streaming package according to whether you prefer entertainment, sports or family-friendly programming with the Blue and Orange subscriptions.
