We were just finishing another series before starting series 2 of Ludwig.

We just watched episode 1 last night but I think the first four or so are available in the US already, with the rest following on a weekly schedule. We won’t have it all for a month or so.

Does it depend on where you watch it? Britbox has only released two episodes so far.

Unless you pay $40 extra/year to get their Premium plan, in which case I think all of S2 is there.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. We tried to watch it a couple days before it started and they wanted me to bump up our subscription for “early access”. I said screw that, I can wait two more days.

Yeah, I was sad to realize I’d misrecalled after I got home later that day.
