Why isn’t The Office US on UK Netflix?
The reason The Office US isn’t available on the UK Netflix library is pretty simple: Netflix doesn’t own the broadcasting rights for The Office US in the UK.
Netflix is a global service that has different libraries for different regions. The Office US isn’t (currently) available on the UK Netflix library – it is available on US Netflix, however.
Confusingly, your Netflix account travels with you around the world. When you’re at home, you’ll be served your native Netflix library, however, as soon as you access Netflix from another country’s internet, you’ll be served that country’s Netflix library.
The good news is that you can access the US Netflix library with your UK Netflix account. All you need is a good VPN that works with US Netflix (see below) – I recommend using ExpressVPN (£5.13/month) if you want the absolute best VPN performance or Ivacy (£1.76/month) if you’re looking for a cheaper VPN with reasonable performance.
How does Netflix know where I’m connecting from?
Every internet connection as its own IP address. IP addresses – a string of numbers – are a lot like physical addresses – they are used to locate where a user is connecting from (amongst other things).
As your ISP is assigned to you from your ISP, it’s easy for Netflix to work out where in the world you’re coming.
I’ve been using ExpressVPN (£5.13/month) to watch US Netflix since May last year.
How to watch The Office US on Netflix in the UK?
The best and easiest way to watch The Office US on Netflix in the UK is to use a VPN. VPN’s using a combination of military-grade encryption and a network of servers and IP addresses around the world to let users spoof their location.
This simple combination of encryption and multiple server locations is enough to let you virtually change your location to anywhere in the world.
If you want to watch The Office US on Netflix in the UK, all you need to do is turn your VPN on and connect to a server in the US. You’ll then be served the US Netflix library, and you’ll be able to watch The Office US via your UK Netflix account for free.
Be careful though; not all VPNs are capable of unblocking US Netflix (because they’ve shared their US IP addresses with too many users). Take a look at our Netflix detecting VPN article to find out more.
Best VPNs to stream The Office US on Netflix in the UK
Below you can find what we think are the best VPNs for watching The Office US in the UK
1. ExpressVPN
- £5.13/month
- Platforms: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Fire TV Stick, Roku
ExpressVPN is the best VPN on the market. It is a slightly more expensive option, but it is definitely worth the extra pounds.
This VPN is extremely fast. It has many connections around the world and is perfect for watching The Office US in the UK because it has hundreds of US servers for you to choose.
99% of the time, you will not have any issues with ExpressVPN. This is because this VPN is very good at playing Cat and Mouse with Netflix. There are always servers available for use, and users can continuously stream US Netflix in the UK.
ExpressVPN also focuses on connecting the user with the server that is best for them.
Instead of selecting an individual server, ExpressVPN gets you to select the region. You will then be connected to the server that is best suited for you. This ensures super-fast speeds.
2. Ivacy

If you’re looking for an excellent VPN, with an even better price tag, Ivacy (£1.76/month) is a great option.
This VPN has all the features you need to stream US Netflix, in HD, from any country in the world. I’ve been testing the app recently on Mac, PC, Android, iOS and FireStick and the results have been impressive – unlocking US Netflix with ease.
For an extra $1.99/month you can add-on a dedicated IP. This will buy you sole access to an IP address in a country of your choice, meaning you won’t have to share your IP (and speeds) with any other use.
3. NordVPN
- £3.02/month
- Platforms: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Fire TV Stick, Roku
NordVPN is very good for streaming The Office US on Netflix in the UK.
Let’s face it sometimes things don’t work as they should. That’s why NordVPN employs a 24/7 technical support team that you can communicate with via their websites Live Chat service. This way if you are having any problems connecting to US Netflix, you can message them and they will assist you.
They also have a team that monitor their connections with TV streaming services like Netflix.
If a server or connection is blacklisted they take it down and put up a new one. NordVPN is available on almost any device you can think of.
