Is the Welcome to Plathville Season 5 premiere streaming early? Some TLC shows are available to stream on-demand before they air. Fans enjoy being able to watch their favorite shows earlier in the day on their premiere dates.

TLC shows sometimes release early on streaming services.

TLC shows typically end up on discovery+ throughout each new season or at the end of a season. In some cases, the episodes will be available to stream first thing in the morning on the day a new episode airs. For example, for Welcome to Plathville, fans would be able to stream new episodes beginning on Tuesday mornings. That’s how it’s been for the previous seasons.

Other shows, like Doubling Down With the Derricos, are only available to stream on-demand once the season ends.

As we reported, Sister Wives Season 18 episodes have not been appearing on discovery+ prior to them airing on TLC. Fans are livid about this, because they’ve come to expect to be able to watch the episodes early.

It’s assumed that Sister Wives Season 18 isn’t airing on discovery+ or MAX early due to the merger between the two streaming services. It’s possible that the merger eliminated the early access option.

Unfortunately, as of Tuesday, September 5, the Welcome to Plathville Season 5 premiere is not on discovery+ and MAX. In the past, the first episode would have appeared on the streaming service in the morning before the new episode airs on TLC.

Below, you can see that discovery+ only shows Seasons 1 through 4 as available to stream on-demand.

It’s likely that it will follow the same timeline as Sister Wives, which would mean the new episodes are available to stream around the same time they air on TLC. In this case, WTP would hit discovery+ at 10/9c tonight. But since it’s the first episode of the new season, that’s only speculation.

Fans are hopeful that discovery+ will bring back the early release schedule in the future.

So, are you disappointed to learn that Welcome to Plathville Season 5 isn’t streaming early on discovery+ as it has in years past? Will you be watching it live on TLC or streaming it on-demand?
