Where To Stream The Young & The Restless Online (Is It On Netflix, Hulu Or Prime)

Here’s how to watch episodes of The Young And The Restless online, including whether the CBS soap opera is available to stream via Netflix, Hulu or Prime. Created by husband-and-wife-duo William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, The Young And The Restless broadcast its first episode way back in 1973. Having aired its landmark 12,000th episode in December 2020, the show ranks as one of the longest-running soap operas in American TV history alongside the likes of General Hospital and Days Of Our Lives.

The soap opera is set in the fictional Midwestern metropolis of Genoa City, Wisconsin and revolves around the lives and dramas of several families including the Newmans, Abbotts, Baldwins and Winters. Over the course of its 48-year history, several big names have featured in The Young And The Restless cast, from David Hasselhoff and Tom Selleck to Shemar Moore and Eva Longoria. The show has won well over 100 Daytime Emmys too and spawned a sister soap The Bold And The Beautiful in 1987.

With over 12,000 episodes and 48 seasons under its belt, catching up on The Young And The Restless is a feat in itself but there are plenty of ways to stream the soap online. Unfortunately, Netflix and Hulu don’t have any episodes of The Young And The Restless but Amazon Prime currently offers 37 of the show’s 48 seasons. They’re available to watch with the Paramount+ add-on which costs $5.99 per month after a 30-day free trial. Prime also has 24 seasons of sister soap The Bold And The Beautiful which also requires subscribers to purchase the Paramount+ add-on.

The best way to catch up on The Young And The Restless and other CBS content is with Paramount+. The recently launched streaming service replaces CBS All Access and boasts a library featuring 2,500 movies and 30,000 TV show episodes – including tons of episodes of The Young And The Restless. Paramount+ currently offers two subscription tiers – one priced at $9.99 per month which offers ad-free content, and the other at $5.99 per month which features ad-supported shows and movies. As mentioned above, Paramount+ is also available as an add-on with Amazon Prime.

Soap opera fans will be pleased to hear that plenty more episodes of The Young And The Restless should be winging their way to Paramount+ in the future as CBS recently renewed the daytime drama through to the 2023-24 broadcast season. Those looking to binge the series from the very beginning to get caught up may want to set aside a few years, however.
