The musical series, starring and created by Rachel Bloom, has been a sleeper hit in the UK after being added to Netflix, and now the second season can be enjoyed almost exactly in tandem with the US.

Whilst the show returns to The CW on October 21, British fans will be able to see it just two days later - on Sunday, October 23.

New episodes will follow weekly thereafter, continuing to arrive in UK fans' laps soon after the US.

This could well be part of an effort to clamp down on piracy, which has affected many American shows that have had long gaps before their UK transmission - from The Good Wife to RuPaul's Drag Race.
