How to watch Shetland season 11 from anywhere - stream the fan-favourite crime drama online
Shetland's popularity isn't slowing down, with viewers counting down until season 11 - and you can tune in from anywhere in the world
Shetland is back for season 11, although sadly, it's the last season viewers will ever see Tosh as actress Alison O'Donnell is leaving the show for good.
Airing from November 12 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, the new series sees DI ‘Tosh’ McIntosh and DI Ruth Calder (Ashley Jensen) taking on a nine-year-old cold case that's triggered when a car is dredged from the sea with skeletal remains locked in the boot.
The case acts as the catalyst for Tosh's departure, as hidden secrets from the past threaten the present-day island community and everyone is once again pushed to their limits.
Nobody has to miss out on tuning into the six, all-new episodes, as we reveal how you can watch the show, as well as seasons 1-10, from anywhere in the world - potentially for free.
Remember, if you're abroad and want to access your usual channels to watch Shetland season 11 but find yourself hit by geo-restrictions, you can use a VPN to tune in online and access them like you would at home - more on that below.

If you’re going to be away from your usual TV set-up when Shetland season 11 starts airing, but don't want to wait a single moment to watch the new episodes, we don't blame you.
You can still enjoy all of the episodes available and potentially for free, with the use of a Virtual Private Network - a VPN.
A VPN allows you to change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to the show, even if you're not there.
Our sister site, TechRadar, has tested all of the major VPN services and they rate Nord to be the absolute best.
They say, "It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services, and ranks among the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, and PlayStation. So for a one-stop-shop, you can’t go wrong with Nord."
If you've never installed a VPN before, don't worry, it's quick and easy. Just follow these three steps:
- Download and install the VPN following NordVPN's easy-to-follow instructions.
- Once you've installed your VPN, open the app and select your server location as anywhere in the UK.
- With your VPN installed and server location set to UK, you can now watch Shetland season 11 and all other seasons of the show on BBC iPlayer.
