How to watch Deutschland 89 online in UK and stream every episode anywhere

It's 1989 and yet another tumultuous year is unfolding in Germany, with reunification at hand and East Germany verging upon collapse.Read on as we explain how to watch Deutschland 89 online and stream the final series of brilliant German spy drama today, including for free in the UK.

Threatening the safety of his son, Max, the HVA once again forces Martin Rauch (Jonas Nay) back into service, but instead of protecting the interest of the GDR and its increasingly out of control agents, Kolibri goes rogue.

The series' main players are all scrabbling to reinvent themselves in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Martin is playing a very dangerous game of his own, straddling the HVA, the BND and the CIA - when all he wants is to return to his ordinary life in the Berlin suburbs with his mother, girlfriend and son.

Lenora's still stuck in prison but you can guarantee she won't be there for long. And when she does get out, through fair means or foul, Martin will have yet another thing to worry about.

Chaos unfolds in the third and final entry in the gripping series for Anna and Joerg Winger, which has more moving pieces than ever as the Berlin Wall opens up a power vacuum that threatens to turn East Germany into an empty shell.
