Vigil
Synopsis
The mysterious disappearance of a Scottish fishing trawler and a death on-board the submarine HMS Vigil bring the police into conflict with the Navy and British security services. DCI Amy Silva and DS Kirsten Longacre lead an investigation on land and at sea into a conspiracy that goes to the very heart of Britain’s national security.

What each season of Vigil costs
Very few people need every season at once. Because streaming is billed by the month with no contract, the real cost of catching up on Vigil is however many months your viewing pace takes — not a yearly subscription. The table below prices each season on Peacock Premium, the cheapest paid service carrying the show at $7.99 a month, at the same 20 episodes-per-month pace used above.
| Season | Episodes | Months to finish | Cost on Peacock Premium | Per episode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Series 1 | 6 | 1 | ~$7.99 | ~$1.33 |
| Series 2 | 6 | 1 | ~$7.99 | ~$1.33 |
What this means: Series 1 is the cheapest way in at about $7.99. Working through the seasons one at a time with a cancellation between each would total about $15.98, more than the $7.99 of a single continuous run — so if you intend to watch the whole show, keep the subscription open and finish it.
Vigil: common questions
- Where can I watch Vigil?
- Vigil is currently available to stream on Peacock Premium. Availability changes as licensing deals move between services, so it is worth re-checking before you subscribe.
- How much does it cost to watch all of Vigil?
- About $7.99. At roughly 20 episodes a month, 12 episodes take 1 month on Peacock Premium at $7.99 a month, which works out to about $0.67 an episode. Leaving the same subscription running for a full year would cost $95.88 instead.
- What is the cheapest way to watch Vigil?
- Peacock Premium is the only paid service carrying it, at $7.99 a month. The bigger saving is in cancelling afterwards: streaming services bill monthly with no contract, so the subscription only needs to exist while you are watching, and rotating in and out around what you are actually mid-way through is the single biggest lever on a streaming budget.
- Can I watch just one season of Vigil?
- Yes, and it is much cheaper. On Peacock Premium the least expensive season here is Series 1 — 6 episodes, about 1 month of subscription at $7.99. Paying season by season keeps the total down whenever you are not committed to the whole run.
- How many episodes of Vigil are there?
- 12 episodes across 2 seasons. At 20 episodes a month that is roughly 1 month of viewing.
