How to watch The Fortune Hotel abroad – stream ITVX show outside the UK

THE FORTUNE HOTEL concluded this week, seeing one pair of contestants bag a cool quarter of a million.

If you’re packing your bags and jetting off abroad too, here’s how to catch up on The Fortune Hotel while outside the UK.

The new show is ITV’s answer to The Traitors, offering a copycat game show format, and promising to be just as entertaining.

It launched this month (May 13th 2024) and saw 10 pairs of contestants checking into ‘The Fortune Hotel’ in sunny Grenada.

As the contestants check in, each is armed with a briefcase, one holds the coveted £250,000 jackpot, and eight are empty, while another contains the dreaded Early Checkout Card.

Fronting the show, and doubling as hotel manager is Stephen Mangan, who is trying to figure out who covets the life-changing briefcase for himself.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed just how similar the show format is to rival The Traitors on BBC, with some calling it “Traitors with briefcases.”

This week saw the show conclude, with talk of a second series even before the first one wrapped up, thanks to the show’s soaring ratings.

If you missed the show, don’t worry. Catch-up episodes are available on ITVX, but you’ll run into problems trying to access them abroad.

ITVX content is restricted to the UK and blocked overseas. But there’s a simple fix: use a VPN like or to stream the new gameshow anywhere.
